I didn't have one either, but my friends did. Right about now, I'm glad I didn't.

I actually wasn't allowed to listen to music when I was young so I escaped a lot of the 80's stuff in that way (classical only in our household). However, I did have Lisa Frank EVERYTHING, folders, binders, notebooks. Bright flurescant colors of animals, it couldn't have been more perfect for a young pet-loving girl. The funny thing was, I was in Walmart the other day and I saw Lisa Frank stuff!! Has it been around this whole time or is it making a comeback??

I have a picture of myself wearing a NKOTB tshirt with leggings, side pony tail, holding a Cabbage Patch Doll. I cracked up when I saw it

Unfortunately, I have no pictures of myself back in the 80's. My family keeps them for blackmail purposes.

I had Lisa Frank everything, and about 50 Treasure Trolls!
DId you guys go throgh that phase where you bought the cute little pencil cases and carried them around? We all bought ours at Cloud Nine (not around anymore I don't think). I think they were Saniro brand, Kerkerokerope the frog? We had our pencil cases stocked with cute little pens, pencils, erasers, and stickers we didn't dare use

Oh yes!!! I loved the pencils that had colored lead that you could pull out, stick in the top (under the erasers) and another color would fall into place? Please tell me someone knows what I'm talkin' about b/c my batting average today isn't very good.

Good one... But do you remember the pretty notebooks that had pretty dividers included.. They also made spiral notebooks. They were colorful with neat designs all over. I can't remember what they were called ! I always bought those instead of Trapper Keeper.

This will lower my batting average again, but here goes...
No one seems to remember these pens but me.
Probably when I was 7 or 8 these new pens came out called BloodSuckers. They had weird creatures on top with red ink that emptied into some hidden resevoir when turned upside down. I loved mine!!

Never heard of those but i LOVED the pencils that you could change the lead in! They were my first non traditional pencil. After that, I was a stricly mechanical pencil girl!!
