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.
Since the new school year is about to start I thought I would share some things from my childhood memory book.
My mom kept lots of papers from my 1st and 2nd grade years.
I hope this wasn't a self portrait. ;0)
Writing practice.
Sunday School promotion certificate. My mom was my teacher!
Sweet valentines.
And lastly, a picture of Mrs. Jumbo and a train.
Can you see what my mom wrote? "1st Show and Tell." Isn't that neat? Thank you for looking at my show and tell 27 years later!
Please read the Show and Tell Guidelines for step-by-step instructions on how to participate.

Kelli,
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet!!! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)
This is so sweet. I love these "memory makers".
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your memories. I've saved a bunch of my kids early pictures. I just can't part with them. You never know what could happen in the future that would relate back to those pictures.
Brandee :-)
What a wonderful idea to dig this out for us ! Such sweet souvenirs ! Aren't our first "paintings" artistic ? lol
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to start Show and Tell back up in my first grade classroom this year!
ReplyDeleteI do have my own first grade class picture, and I think I'll post it one of these days soon.
Thanks for sharing these! I love them!~
I found you last week and linked without reading the guidelines. Sorry about that. I hope I got it right this time.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet post. How great that your Mom saved all these "memorabilias". I love that you even have your first "Show and Tell" :-)
Oh Kelli, how sweet that you still keep those precious childhood memories!
ReplyDeleteI still have the my very first painting that I made on my first day in Kindergarten, in 1976 (it looks quite strange...).
Time flies....
Hope you are doing fine! I am back at work since Monday, we had a great summer vacation!
XoX, Anita

What lovely memories - I have nothing from my childhood, but have saved various drawings and home-made gifts that my three made over the years.
ReplyDeleteThis is the inspitation we need to keep our kids books up to date!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Oh my gosh Kelli. This is so cool. Especially being able to find and share with us your 'first show n tell'. [ps, your birthday is the same day as one of my brother's]
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
My sewing project is posted this week for show n tell.
What precious memories Kelli! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteMorning again Kelli - if you check out my blog, there is something there for you.
ReplyDeleteOh Kelli,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute show and tell. I have my own very old and withering scrapbook. No acid free paper in those days! LOL.
Thanks for sharing your memory book. It is a real treasure!
Blessings,
Sherry
Good Morning Kelli,
ReplyDeleteYour works of art are priceless :). Your Mother was thinking ahead, I kept a few things from my Daughter's school days but not as much as I should have.
Have a Fantastic Friday!
Kathi :)
How cute is that! It's so sweet your Mom kept those papers for you. I'm sure your kids love seeing them.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a nice show and tell and so fitting. I love the old valentines and the drawings are so special.
ReplyDeleteI love your papers and memories! I have several drawers full of this stuff. I need to go through it all!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting.
Diane
Too cute....it is nice that your mom saved so many mementos for you.
ReplyDeleteneat
ReplyDeleteWhat precious memories! I saved every piece of preschool work my daughter did and labeled each piece with the date. It certainly helped me to organize things when I started scrapbooking and placed each item lovingly on a page. I did toss the macaroni art (after photographing it, of course!).
ReplyDeleteThat is the exact school memory book my sisters and I had!! Unfortunately I got a hold of it as a kid and it got all wrecked - so I had to transfer it to something new :(
ReplyDeleteI love that you have your very first show and tell! So cute!
ReplyDeleteFun to look back through with you!
Seeing these makes me wish my mom had saved papers I had done along with the school pictures and the grade cards which she did keep. The memories are priceless.
ReplyDeleteOh...that is so sweet...I love it all!!!! LOL....I was born in 81! It's so funny to see 81 written on everything! :)
ReplyDeletewhat sweet memories sweet show-n-tell
ReplyDeleteHelen

Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI've tried posting today like I normally do and Mr. Linky keeps removing my name. If you have any words of wisdom and can let me know I'd appreciate it.
How precious Kelli!!! What neat memories to have! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Kelli! These are so cool. I was thinking of school when I posted too.

ReplyDeleteHow smart of your mother to have saved all of that for you. You must really cherish those pieces.

ReplyDeleteHi Kelli -
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so sweet! How great that your Mom hung on to all of those treasures.
I have a little note that I wrote to my Dad when I was about 6 (Mom said.) In it, I tell him about losing my "toof". That always makes me smile!
Have a great weekend!
Love your blog, Kelli!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you have your first Show & Tell to share with us. It was planted in your blood a long time ago to host Show & Tell!!!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Those were the days and children's writings always seem to be universal, we look back and are amazed at the talent and ability we had......
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat that you still have all of that! Those are special memories!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I haven't been around for awhile! Things are just crazy here at the moment. I know in a few weeks things will settle down more! Hope you are enjoying a beautiful day today!
That is so sweet Kelli, thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! I've saved many of those items too, over the years...
ReplyDeleteAwww! That is adorable that you have your old school papers saved like that. It was fun to look at them. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli!
ReplyDeleteI gave you an award in my post for the 21st. I do love your blog!
Kelli, that is so sweet! And to be having a heart towards God at such an early age. That is wonderful and a reflection on your parents and what they were teaching you at home.
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that your mom organized and kept all these precious things.
So cute! I love going back to look at all my old drawings and writings that Momma saved.
ReplyDeleteI love that "Snappy" apple sticker! hahaha! I wonder if it was a Scratch 'n Sniff....
The little picture of you is adorable!
It's so wonderful that you have these "School Days" memories from your childhood! It is truly a precious gift that you can now share with your children! You made my day by sharing them with us too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to You!
Claudia O.
That is the cutest book, Kelli! Your mom was so good to keep all that and organize it for you to have later.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well!
Have a great day!
Elizabeth

Hi Kelli
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting and now I'm ready to join.
Your place is beautiful and I hope I can be a good little blogger like most of your friends and yourself.
I can't wait to participate in your show and tell Friday.
Until next week
Claudie
How wonderful that your mom saved so many things from your school years. I love the valentines and your first show and tell.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog yesterday. My week has been extremely busy, but it was good.
I hope you have a blessed weekend.
Kelli,
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to have these memories. I have some of my school work as well, and I am saving some of the kids too. Maybe some day Acelia will post her's on a "Show and Tell" :)
Love Kerri
I enjoyed seeing your memory book from first grade. I'm posting on Saturday. I hope that is alright.
ReplyDeleteMama Bear
I love the old cards. What a fun thing to share and the memories are precious.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to a show and tell this last Friday, but I thought this was so sweet. Obviously you've loved show and tell for a long time. :-) I have kept some of my kids' things like that, but not in an organized fashion, and unfortunately I didn't document it at the time. But I do have a folder and a box for each one.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteI love looking at your things from when you were a little girl. I noticed that you were in a Christian school. I couldn't get a Show and Tell together for this week, but always look anyway.
Nancy
The sticker on there really took me back! I love the 80's Trend scratch and sniff stickers : )
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you have all these memories.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if I'm doing this right or not, but here's my hello.
ReplyDeleteTrying again, because apparently, it didn't go through last time.
