Crayons

 Crayons!

I wonder how long I've had these boxes myself? Judging by the hand written name on the making tape of my younger son, who is now 29, must be close to 30 years. The definitely stand the test of time!

Who doesn't have fond memories of crayons? We can all conjure the smell of the open box from Kindergarten and beyond. Right?  In line at the grocery store 2 days ago there was a Mom and cute little boy about 3. There was a bog box of new Crayolas in their cart. I wanted to lean over & tell the little guy he was one lucky dude with a smart Mom.

                            

Grown ups can play with crayons too.  Alisa Burke who I like to follow just had a post about techniques to use with crayons. I had no idea you could use baby oil to smooth & blend crayons.
