Sally of Smiling Sally is hosting a Blue Monday event. She has invited anyone who would like to join in to do so! Go on over to her blog and see who is playing today!
When Tim was in kindergarten one of his "homework" assignments was to make a place mat about his family. He and I picked out the pictures he wanted and went through my scrapbook supplies to make his place mat. When he brought it to school it was laminated and he used it at snack time. When he brought it home from school he used it at meal times. We still have it but it is a bit tattered after all of these years. Some of his favorite things were playing with his trucks, the Red Sox (they won the world series that year....first time in 86 years!), camping with Dad (Tim called he and Rich the "camping brothers"), his superheroes, his stuff dog he got when he was sick and in the hospital, riding the dirt bike with dad (the "dirt bike brothers") and fishing with dad (the "fishing brothers"). He still likes all of these things and more.
You can click on the pictures to see a better view of his place mat.
take care,

That was a good idea for an assignment. It's a nicely done placemat: I think you helped a bit. What a nice memory keeper.
Happy Blue Monday!
How great that it has survived, and that the teacher had this idea in the first place.
Dawn, how cute, and what a great project with so much meaning for Tim. I love that Tim wanted his family on his every day place mat. You rock Tim!
Love...Jeanne
Good Morning Dawn
Isn't that a nice idea? To put together pictures like for special memories. How nice that he could use it as a placemat too. I really love that idea.
Thank you for sharing

p.s. That reminds me when my youngest son Richard was just young they wrote that little poem about "Fingerprints" and he has his little fingerprinted on a page that was laminated. Its so special to me too.
Hi Sally, of course I helped :) It was a family project.
take care,
Dawn
What a wonderful idea and a beautiful keepsake. Take care.
Those are so sweet! What a treasure!
That is too sweet; it almost made me cry! You need to frame that!
What an adorable placemat-I love it! Happy Blue Monday!
What a unique idea - I love the placemate. I also liked the teacher requirements for 1926.

Happy Blue Monday Dawn.. The placemat you and Tim created is great and is something you will treasure forever. Have a lovely day..
What a great keepsake! I enjoyed visiting your blog. I love it!
Hello Dawn,
Nice keepsake!
Happy Blue Monday,

Hi Dawn,
What a wonderful post! I love it. Happy Blue Monday to you.
This is so cute. What a wonderful treasure filled with lots of memories.
Sooo cute! xo Vanessa
I'd say it's held up remarkably well all things considered. Especially for an "all-boy" boy!
This is great! What a treasure!
ooo, how precious is this ! i am so glad you shared with us...it's just precious.
love, bj
Dawn, I love it. Reminds me that although that "time" has passed, the memories will always remain. My "baby" is now in K and I still can't believe how fast the time has gone. egads!
Hugs.
Hello Dawn,
You did a great job!
