I connect a lot of memories with smells. A new box of crayons when you first crack open the flip top is one of my favorites. Crayons represent endless possibilities for art and expression. I still enjoy coloring in a coloring book or on a piece of scrap paper. Is it ok if I never outgrow that love? I hope so!!
And at this back to school time I am always reminded of that vivid memory and smell. That was what I was thinking of when I did the photo shoot shown here.
This photo is all about bright cheery colors and the love of coloring.
Grab some crayons -whether they are fresh and full of that new box aroma or old and broken in a coffee can- and settle in for some coloring time before the back to school morning routine is here to stay for another year.

I'm 53 years young and still get excited over a new box of Crayolas!!! If you ever have the chance to visit the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA...go and enjoy reliving your childhood!!!
love it! It is a great photo, and I can see how it inspired Jessica to base her treasury on it. Congrats to both of you! Enjoy your coloring!
Oh Amy crayons and play-doh smells, I adore. When it was back to school and I got my new box of 64 I always opened them and smelled them. And yes, I will proudly say I LOVE TO STILL COLOR!!! I have my own stash of books tucked away and when I'm
bored once in awhile I pull them out! Sadly, none vintage though. Actually now that I think of it my grandson snatched my crayons. So as I buy some pens for my back to school don't tell but I'm gonna get a 64 to just sit on my desk at home,just in case the urge strikes!! Love,Lori
