One of my favorite memories as a child is when we visited a family friend and their teenaged daughter gave me the best thing ever: my very first Lisa Frank pencil! Not only was I excited over the fact that this teenager was spending time with a pesky seven-year-old, but she also gave something so generously. In my young mind, the pencil equaled to an expensive purse, and one that I took great care of when I brought it to school the next day.
