Last Saturday, I ventured out to the early morning garage sales and woke up Eliza to see if she wanted to come along with me. She shot up like a snow pea and jumped to it.
At one spot (where I found 7 tomato cages for $2-hooray) she found a box of crayons that were marked "FREE." She squealed and asked "How much does free cost??!!" ha. I was honestly hesitant about letting her take the free crayons because our home has no shortage of art supplies already and I really try to not be someone that buys or takes something they don't need, just because it is a really good deal. What's that saying? If you buy something that is 75% off that you don't need, you still wasted 25%.. or something like that.
But I consented, and we became the new owners of a box of super cheap, waxy crayons. We've spent the week playing with them, coming up with new crafts to use up a box of crayons and I'm going to share them with you next week.
So if you happen to be out this weekend and see a super cheap box of waxy crayons, snag 'em. :) And if you feel like getting a head start - peel 'em.

I LOVE crayons (and I'm almost 60!) I love to just open the boxes and smell 'em! They bring wonderful memories of childhood Christmases and the first day of school.

Tell me you melted them and made GIANT crayons. We did that at the end of every school year and let the kids take them home. Oh how I LOVE bits 'o crayon! ;)

I just desired to remark to display my understanding for a submit because it is especially inviting, and lots of writers do not get the credit score they deserve. I’m constructive I’ll be back again yet again and can deliver a number of of my friends.
