Weekly Creativity Challenge: Once Upon a Time...

The idea here is basically a little memory box. Something about you and your childhood or just the past. You can express it however you want. For example...

A photo—just a snapshot of an interesting moment from back in the day involving you or your family.
Maybe.

A story—some interesting life event you might want to share with us.
Some people might write a letter to a first love or maybe a letter
to their younger self.

Sound—if you feel like it, you could go with Voccaro. If you aren't too shy, you could sing the intro to
your favorite old cartoon or anything else that brings back memories.

Collectors—I'm sure there are some of you out there. If you want, you can share some interesting
stuff you've kept from the past.

Everyone can post 1-3 examples. Voters get 2 votes each. The contest runs from April 13th to April 20th.

Have fun, I guess. 😉

Two words: powdered milk. ☕

I called you at that exact minute on the previous thread because I wanted to check in via DM to see if you were alright 🙂 since you haven't been around!

I’m going to go ahead and quote the great d. R. here: You need to start disciplining your kids the second you notice they're starting to act just like you...

I dare you..

I'm doing fine, really. Don't sweat it. I appreciate you checking in though. 😍

It's about memories, not milk!
Stop talking nonsense.

Is the intro okay? 😁

If there's anything else needed, I suppose you could suggest it..

It is more than fine; we have plenty of room to work with here. 👍

Megan Gray4 said:It’s more than just good; we could actually have some fun digging into this topic. 👍

I figured a lot of people could jump in. There are plenty of different methods to look at here, I guess.

The wait was worth it, I suppose. This thread is excellent. 👍

Drew Ross2 said:It was 👋
worth the wait. This topic hits the mark. 👍

Louise, imagine a little game of finger-play or kicking feet in the air during a baby's chat, labeled "core memories." 🙂
Exactly. I envy those motivations. 😁

Sarah Mendoza22 said:My intention was to ensure wide participation. There is a vast array of methods available here.

👍

Megan Gray4 said:Drew Ross2, can we play a little game where I just list random baby milestones—fingers, toes, kicking in the air—with a note saying this is all for the memory book? 🙂
That’s exactly it. I’m actually a bit jealous of those sentimental vibes. 😁

😍

I think I might actually post a photo of my keepsake box later—it’s got everything from my old journals to those old love letters my exes used to write me. 😳
And maybe I'll write something more substantial if the baby decides to let me have a moment and I actually find the time. 😳

Looks like there will be about three suggestions. 😁

If you want, we can expand it to five.

...or any other way. Just post whatever you want; I'll just pick which ones go to the final vote on the last day.

Just a little piece of my past glory... 😳

A small portion of my past inheritance 😳

Drew Ross2, someone stole it!
Absolute nonsense!
🤣

Postimage seems to be down again 😳

I'm washing both of you out!

People love to claim that cats are impossible to train, but I managed to teach mine how to receive SMS notifications with an LED alert back before smartphones were even a thing.
