I love Michele's theme over at Tag Tuesday, she has chosen School Days. It takes me back to when I was at school.
I was a child who did enjoy going to school, although I wasn't a very quick learner and very often was told off for "not paying attention"
By the time I reached the age of 12yrs, I settled down and actually started to learn. Learning, back in the day, was so different than it is today, also the schools are more modern now. Teachers taught a variety of subjects and some things I still apply to my daily living now.
From the age of four and a half, my first day at school, my mother left me in reception, there was a smaller girl than myself who was crying so much, I went over to her and asked why she was crying, she said her mum has just left her here. I replied, so has my mum, but we can be friends and stay together. We are still very good friends almost 70 years later ( and yes, I am that old )
For my tag I stamped a grungy background and used images from a paper pad, at least I think they are, they've been in my craft room for a couple of years now. They were loose and given to me with other bits and bobs by a friend who has given up crafting. I used the school label, then cut the boys out and laid them over the labels.
You can find the challenge here at TAG TUESDAY

OMG, how wonderful that you were sweet enough at that age to go over and help a crying child! I wish you were in my school, because I remember being sent to the "cloak room" in kindergarden because I couldn't stop crying. I'm almost 80, and still think about that. But I love your memories and also your grungy tag. It's perfect!
I loved reading your post about your school days and also loved the details you put into creating your tag! Nice work!
Wow Sandi, what a great story. And how fun you still have a friend that you met on the very first day of school. Somethings are just meant to be I think. I also enjoyed this challenge, although since I was a teacher I feel like I never really left school until I retired-grin. Great tag-I love those faces. hugs-Erika
