My Submission

I was out one afternoon shopping and I found some usual crayons that are made by Crayola. They are called Crayola Twistable Slick Stix.

 

 
 
Now I know I am 45, but crayons still fill my mind with fun and imagination.  I still love to color and so does my daughter.  I pulled one out of the package and tried it on a scrap piece of paper and tried the crayon out.  WOW.  It was amazing!  It was magic!  As I ran the crayon across the paper the line was so smooth and so vibrant I was in awe.  I knew my daughter Emily would be just as excited about them so I bought them.  When I got  home the whole family was at the table when I gave them to Emily.  Her reaction was just as I expected and my 21 year old son and husband were just as excited. 
 
A couple of days later I found a picture on my refrigerator.  It was so vibrant and it just captured my heart.  I left it there for a few days, but then had to put it in a safe place until I could get a frame as I didn't want it to get ruined.  My first thought when I saw it was that I thought it would make a great "Nice Matters" award.  Sooooo here is my submission.

    I love it!!! and those crayons sound like fun; I too like to color

    I'll have to think about something; I'm not very artistic but I'll see if anything pops into my head

    meanwhile, I love your submission!

    You're right.  It would make a picture for the award.

    I need a new box(64 pack).  I used up several from my last box , painting on candles.  
    This would make a very nice sticker for the award.
