After thinking of what I wanted to do for my challenge page, I decided to go back to my roots--the 80s. I wasn't born in the 80s (I'm not that young), but I do consider myself a "Child of the 80s". This became my theme. I found a picture of me during the 6th grade in 1989 and posted it, along with my current 2006 school picture to show how much I have either changed or not changed. I'm not sure which it is just yet. Along the pictures, I created a list of things I remember about the 80s. In case you can't read it, here it is:
*Tight-rolled jeans.
*I wanted to be on Star Search.
*I can sing "We Are the World".
*I wore Reeboks.
*I rollerskated on Friday nights.
*I thought Hulk Hogan was the best wrestler of all time.
*I watched the Smurfs on Saturday mornings.
*My bangs were perfectly teased 4 inches above the rest.
*I wore a side ponytail and Lee Press-on nails.
*Posters of New Kids on the Block covered my walls.
*I watched Luke and Laura's wedding.
*Banana clips were a godsend.
*I pinned friendship bracelets to my jeans to finish them.
*I thought Debbie Gibson was better than Tiffany.
*I yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters Club.
*I wore 2 pairs of socks, each a different color.
*I thought we'd all be flying cars by the year 2000.

that is great! i love the theme. cracked me up. good job...i bet no one has an entry quite like that!
hilarious! where did you get that paper! how perfect!
Holly, I got the paper at one of the Scrapbook stores here in Spfld. I think it was the one by Bass Pro. Yep, it was. They had 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. I actually bought the paper b/c I thought I might scrap some pictures from school of when we have 80s day during spirit week. So far, I haven't even taken any pictures of that!! Now all I need is some 90s paper for high school!
Oh my gosh April, I think we lived in the same house. I was able to check off everything on your list. I really got tickled when I read it. Great job!
I called Trai in to look at your page b/c I had been telling him about it earlier. He walked in and said, "Is that Darth Vader hair?" Now that is funny! It really does look like it girl!
