EYM: Grade School Memories

July 14-18: What is a favorite grade school memory?

One of my favorite memories was the bicentennial of the United States. I remember we had to bring 200 of the same items to school. I brought 200 pennies. And then we made a collage out of what we brought using pictures we found in magazines that had to do with the growth of our nation in the 200 year span; technology, cities, currency, buildings, etc etc.

It is one of my favorite memories cause I won first place in my grade for the girls!! Go me!!

Plus... I rocked the 80's hair style!! No, unfortunately I don't have a pic...

What's your favorite grade school memory?!

EYM - Beloved Toys & WIP

June 30 – July 4: Did you have a beloved toy growing up? What was it?

 

I had lots of toys I absolutely adored growing up. But I think my most beloved of them all… my Cheer Bear Care Bear. Between my brother and I, I think we have a totally of 10 different bears when we were younger. And I’m happy to say, my mom saved them, and now my kids have them – tattered and all. They are as loved by my kids, just as they were by my brother and me.

 

July 7-11: In your WIP, what is the last line on pg. 42? Not a writer, then use a book of your liking.

 

From my WIP: Valhalla
