 " I have always played around in the arty crafty world from being a wee child with wax crayons. I have progressed from that and now love to play around with many different mediums. Thankfully I have a wonderful hubby who indulges me and adds to my collections along with never complaining at the mess I often have lying around. Thinking about wax crayons, maybe I should get some and see what I can do with them now, that could be an interesting project."
