Thanks for the memories, though, I also cut so very carefully and methodically. Someone was being cut out of someone's life for sure, also very deliberately.

I had many sets of paper dolls and like you, spent hours carefully cutting out their clothes and then playing with them.Michelle Ganus Taggarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238452675846882700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-8368134968016827432015-10-06T14:30:11.783-04:002015-10-06T14:30:11.783-04:00That is most curious.

I have pictures too with cutouts...my grandmother cut out the faces of people she didn't like - when she was in her nineties and a bit of dementia has taken hold.

Who or whatever was in the background must have been on the bank behind. Maybe it/they were just a blur, like on the right of the subject.
