OMG, we were so poor growing up we never really had toys...but it make me extremely crafty! The best toy I ever had was this ginormous doll house I built out of old boxes. I used wrapping paper inside for wall paper, I cut old towels to make carpeting, I painted little pictures for the walls, I used sponges to make bed and sofas, I made fake plants out of old film canisters, playdough, and yarn, and I even saved old toothpaste caps and bottle caps for dishes. It took a good year to finish but I loved that thing and I played with it everyday!
I also took some old boxes, drew little squares on them, painted them bright colors and pretended they were makeup compacts. A glimpse of things to come, perhaps??
My mom used to argue with me that no one would wear bright blue and yellow eyeshadow but after ten years or so I proved her wrong.
