As a little burrito, I remember making round, easy-to-grasp crayons from broken crayon bits in an old muffin tin. After saving most of Laurel's broken crayons until I had a small plastic container full, I decided to do try it myself using a dollar-store muffin tin. My local dollar store didn't have any in stock, so I decided to try it using muffin

Very cool! I never heard of such a thing, though, I did like to take crayon shavings and iron them between two sheets of wax paper.

You are one of the coolest people I've ever known. I love this.

I got your card today -- please tell Laurel her pictures are wonderful and Emily and I look forward to sending her more fun stuff.

Cool moms, cool kids. If you're ever in the New York - Long Island area, let me know. I think we'd all have fun.

Very good idea. We never did anything like that - we had a huge crayon box and it was full of stubs.
