Buying Nolan's schools supplies reminded me of the joys of a new box of crayons in September- Why do they smell better at the start of the school year?  What are 5 things you loved (or wished you had) in your backpack.

1. My Lisa Frank Folders

2. I wanted the Crayola 64 box of crayons- I got box of 12 Rose art

3. Elmers Glue-mmmm the smell

4. Wanted Mr. Sketch Smelly Markers

5. Fresh box of colored pencils

I loved colored pencils to draw with, to this day I still really hate crayons.

Either a Care Bear or Strawberry Shortcake folder.

I loved pencil top erasers, easier to lose.

In grade school, I used to have a picture of family in a ziploc bag just in case I got lonely.

New notebooks, not hand-me-downs.....I was one of 5 children.
