OK, looking back, we *might* not have been the coolest group of girls in the third grade.
Anyways, back to the books. These books have become some of my kids' favorite bedtime stories. My husband is the one who reads at night, so I'm not sure if they think these books are the bomb or they are making fun of me, I prefer to
Let's take a little look at a few pages from one of my first 'publication'...
(And why were golden birthdays such a big deal when we were kids, did we expect gold plated gifts... I just don't get it?)
I especially love how I drew pictures of earrings and their backs (yes, that's what those silver things are suppose to be).
Don't go hatin' on me because of my awesome canopy bed; it was fluffy and white and prinessy and I loved it.
Obviously, I really enjoyed sharing a room with my sister (and dumb is spelled 'dum', ironic).
More sibling love...
The End.
Yep, I write about my sister being a brat (and a hog and a pig, umm hello... my parents really should have talked to me about image issues), about my older sister yelling at me and my brother who kicks me out of his room and then The End.
Talk about ending on a happy note.
At least I drew hearts and a flower.
And I can tell you how happy I am that my kids are getting such a positive message from their bedtime stories?
Go me.

Nothing says "me" like a book about your "love" for your siblings.
Ha! YOU were the mean one! And the neat one...back then... :)
XOXO. Love ya, sister. -A
I read pretty much all the babysitter club books when I was younger, too. I finally gave them to goodwill or something like that. Probably going to regret that when my daughter gets old enough to read.
I featured you on my blog.
What a riot (my Peanut is in 3rd grade and is not as affectionate towards books/creative projects as she is about the boob tube!). I don't think I have anything of mine like that! I should go hunting for it though! I loved the Babysitters Club too! Great post!
Oh thank goodness I tossed most of that out ages ago. ;) I think Dean Bisek is the cutest - and I think he likes me too because he walked home from school with me. hubba hubba. ;)
I love that you kept it! Although I don't know if I would want to see what I had written as a kid. :-)
i love this :)
i have one that i wrote in college for a class - it's one of lilly's favorites.
Your book is adorable! At least you were incredibly honest!! It makes me wish I had written my own book back when lol!
I also read the Babysitters Club, loved it!
That's awesome! I chuckled all the way through. With your kids, not at you.
LOL LOVE it. :)
oh man, this is great. Thank you for sharing your third-grade genius with us.
Love it! I always used to write books too though I didn't have a canopy bed my big sister did. :)
I love "dum dum." If I were your sister, I would have pointed out that you couldn't even spell "dumb dumb" right, so who's the dummy now?
I hope you know I'm kidding. Of course you do.
oh how I wanted a canopy bed in the worst way! of course, it would have never FIT in my bedroom which was approximately 5 feet by 5 feet...but oh how I wanted one...
this is really cool. I think keeping these things is good for our kids.
I used to write books like that all of the time! I would die laughing if my kids found them!
