Dear Journal, 10-6-93

“Today we’re making diaramas for our fairly stupid tale. I think it will be fun. Friday is picture day. Smile! We are still Meaping. It’s O.K. I think Book 2 will be harder.”

1. I told my journal to ‘Smile!’. Do you ever hope you have children just like you one day? :)

2. I remember dioramas being a very fun elementary school project  - though I’m sure that such old-school crafting has LONG since left the average curriculum. SAD! Will I be able to convince my grandchildren that such a learning device was ever used? I bet they’ll be 3-D modeling their own brains instead of such archaic paper-and-scissors exercises.

3. I am also sad that www.dioramas.com wasn’t a totally sweet collection of pictures of dioramas. That could be the next big thing! Also, www.diorama.com was a disappointment since it’s all in GREEK. Strange.

I’m sure you have your own excellent diorama memories - do tell.
