Pogs

Does anyone remember Pogs? I was reading a blog and they mentioned pogs and it brought back some childhood memories!

I don't even remember how old I was, but I think it was around 3rd or 4th grade or something like that. I collected them. The pogs and the slammers.

For those of you that don't know what pogs are, here is a link to Pogs on Wikipedia.

Nicole and I played all the time. We never played for keeps that I recall, but for fun. And we traded pogs. Basically you put your pogs face down in a stack and use the slammer to hit the stack and you get to keep all of the ones that land face up. We played whoever had the most won and then we divided the stack back up.

I wonder if my pogs and slammers are still back at Ma's house. I'm going to have to ask and take a look. If I can find them, that would make a fun scrapbook page since I could even use some of the pogs on a page.

Covet

I know it is wrong to covet things, but I must admit that I do.

The most recent thing that I covet is this dress and her sewing skills.

I have always wanted to make a historical dress to dress up in and wear, but have never had the chance, and sadly, my sewing skills aren't the best. If that dress was in my size, she would have to watch out.

I am in serious envy here.

Day 32 {Kitschy Lamp Shade}

At IKEA I seen this lamp shade and fell in love with it. After going through my pics, I wished I would have bought it. I have no idea where it would go other than by a couch in the living the room, but I am in love with it.
