I loved t...Oh Sarah, we are *such* kindred spirits! I loved this story about your love of crayons and colored pencils...I can so identify. One of my few childhood memories is the kindergarden day that I first saw an open box of crayons-the fat kind. Pure, unadulterated bliss! My love affair with color may be more sophisticated now--oil pastels, open boxes of watercolors, fancy colored pencils, and tubes of any kind of paint...but the passion is the same. COLOR!! It's better than food! Such a wonderful way to go through life, don't you think? It's no surprise that we love plants too--your Protea drawing is gorgeous.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping me a note recently. Summer has finally arrived here, and I am feeling more determined, creative and hopeful. Maybe I will start blogging regularly, maybe not...keeping up with the correspondence is the hard part! :-)<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286168412856617838.post-1764440843702799282011-02-17T03:35:30.807-08:002011-02-17T03:35:30.807-08:00I don't know if I used Crayola crayons as a ch...I don't know if I used Crayola crayons as a child, but I use them now, especially sketching on holiday. <br /><br />Have been known to stick them upright in the sand, arranged in colours for ease of finding.<br /><br />I had Derwent colour pencils as a child and still use them occasionally. I graduated onto Berol Karisma, but don't tend to use them now.

...Oh! You and I have the same 'symptoms' :)<br />I have to avoid office supply stores and the crayola aisle in the grocery store altogether.<br /><br />I agree, too, that I spend way too much time hunting a color if the full barrel of the pencil isn't that color. Derwent switched to the 'green' barrel with the colored top, and it's a pain.Leslie Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933649274394414938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286168412856617838.post-83984998199191936172010-12-29T17:28:29.910-08:002010-12-29T17:28:29.910-08:00I have a nifty color vision test at my office whic...I have a nifty color vision test at my office which identifies color deficiencies.
