Check one - YES or NO".<BR/><BR/>I know, the epitomy of maturity...<BR/><BR/>I also remember "slam books", which I adored. I also recall having several confiscated by foot tapping teachers with arched eyebrows. ooops.<BR/><BR/>I had my own hobby in Jrgroovyoldladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971936982658984234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-89041432730463348912008-03-13T21:59:00.000-06:002008-03-13T21:59:00.000-06:00Oh yes...I do remember gum wrapper chains.

We had to sneak the chewing of the gum because, according to my mother, ladies did not chew gum -- only cows!!!! :) Maybe your link will get the craze going agin. I think I will have to teach the grands how to make them.Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-90401477538593968902008-03-13T16:34:00.000-06:002008-03-13T16:34:00.000-06:00I did make chewing gum chains but I think we only ...I did make chewing gum chains but I think we only made ours long enough for bracelets...<BR/>I did have a tall boyfriend...but I didn't make my chain long enough to be as tall as him...<BR/>I had forgotten some of the nutty things we did...<BR/>I am still praying for Cynthia and Ladybug...I pray for her safety and Cynthia's peace of mind...<BR/>MimiMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829978526818067941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-47415064924551361482008-03-13T15:00:00.000-06:002008-03-13T15:00:00.000-06:00Dawn~ thanks for bringing back a lost memory for m...Dawn~ thanks for bringing back a lost memory for me. I didn't remember making it according to how tall my boyfriend was but maybe I did. How does stuff like that get started and then kids everywhere are doing the same thing?

Fortunately he is average height (around 5' 11"). I think I still have it in a box somewhere. Thanks for bringing back such a fun memory.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-60279828291058884622008-03-13T05:50:00.000-06:002008-03-13T05:50:00.000-06:00How funny!!!!

I don't guess I was that talented to make things like that and I'm still not. LOL. "THANK YOU" for such a wonderful memory of the past. I am still praying for Cynthia and Ladybug and her family. I have posted about Ladybug on my post for today. I do pray that she will come home soon.

I do remember something about making them as long as your boyfriend was tall, and something about burning the chain, but the details escape me.
