This is my first try at the "craze" of
Melted Crayon Art!
I was hesitant to try, because I thought that once hanging on a wall, on a hot summer day it would melt??! Right?!! Wrong, it took a lot of hot heat to melt those suckers! I mean, I guess if it was crazy death hot, maybe a tiny bit, but I'm safe where I live so all's good! lol
so I have this new guy and he's just some kind of amazing! I cannot bore you with all the details, it would take HOURS! Long story short he makes me feel like a
giddy little school girl,
smitten kitten, and
makes the butterflies do Cirque Du Soleil!
So he had a hand in the inspiration!
