"Show and Tell Friday!"

Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.

We have a surprise guest host for Show and Tell today! My daughter, Grace is hosting because it's her birthday !! That's right, my baby is 10 years old now! Grace picked three special things to share with us today...


The first thing I want to show you is my gold baby bracelet.


My Grandma gave it to me when I was about 3 months old.


This is me wearing the bracelet at my baby dedication. It was huge when I was little, but now it doesn't fit at all!


This is probably the most special thing I own. This is my doll, Molly. I got her when I was 2 years old.


Here she is under the Christmas tree.


On trips and vacations I always bring her with me, even on airplanes.


This is my favorite teacup. The first thing I drank in it was milk on Christmas morning.


To me this kind of bird looks like a snowbird, so I call it my "snowbird teacup".

Thank you for looking at my special things!

Happy Birthday Grace!
