Turning 60!

Photo Details

Poster: berlycece

Lisa is this week's Ways to Use It challenge hostess. Her challenge is to use toys.

Honestly, I don't really have toy images, but I figured I could bring out my skateboarding guy. Then, for some unknown reason, I thought of the old Barrel of Monkeys toy. I looked it up to check on the colors (they varied even in the classic version) and discovered this toy was first released in 1965. These cute monkeys turn 60 this year, just like me! LOL Along with a bunch of friends!

Thanks for the fun challenge, Lisa!

Very clever move, Kim. I don't have many toy stamps either. I couldn't find my baby stamp bin where I think I may have had a baby pull toy, but I did find in my vehicle tub this tricycle. So decided to go for a big toy!! LOL This was a fun challenge!

Super cute! I remember this toy; it was a blast to play with. I would bring it along when I babysat, back in the day. Thanks for the fun memory! Terrific layout. Great colors!

This is such a clever and joyful blast from the past—the bright colors and that single swinging monkey instantly brought the Barrel of Monkeys game to mind! I love how you captured the fun and whimsy of the toy while weaving in such a personal milestone. The bold pops of color, playful layout, and nostalgic nod all come together for a perfectly spirited 60th birthday celebration!
