It's raining here today and one of the memories of being a little girl that I will forever have is snuggling in with my fresh new crayons and a coloring book that awaited the bursts of color I had in store for it♥
Awww, the magic awaits! The possibilities endless!
I found this wonderful quote by Robert Fulghum:
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.
What a brilliant idea, don't ya think?
Sitting at work, wishing I was at home, curled up on a couch with a tv tray, 64 colorful friends and a new book to adorn :)
Have a great weekend!

Oh the memories of a big box of crayons just sitting there ready to be used to make beautiful pictures.....Sweet memeories.....
I love the sketches you did..
Hugs and Blessings
Oooh yes I remember!!! I didn't like to use them right away, because I didn't want to mess them up, and I only used silver and gold on special pictures. And they always smelled so good too :)
I don't care how old I am...I still get myself a brand new box of Crayola crayons each year. Last year it was the box of 64! YEAH!!! Happy coloring...
P.S. I love the happy parachutes.
Oh, I LOVE that quote! How wonderful and I think so smart! Of course, I have my box of 64. My favorite part - the smell... Love, Silke
