I know there are actual blending pencils or tools that you can purchase, too.

That is when I decide I am no longer practical about the purpose of boxes, especially when I consider I have nothing to store in my many boxes and tins ~ but I still collect them anyway !KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-71783604944238262482015-03-24T19:01:03.114-05:002015-03-24T19:01:03.114-05:00Now a well made wooden case with crayons and many ...Now a well made wooden case with crayons and many more supplies is a good deal!Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-24673432097814495022015-03-24T18:41:36.501-05:002015-03-24T18:41:36.501-05:00Oh, those are great finds!Oh, those are great finds!Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-43965276848022724352015-03-24T17:41:56.081-05:002015-03-24T17:41:56.081-05:00I like that comment haven't heard that one bef...I like that comment haven't heard that one before HAHA !!! oh my so many pretty colours .

I mostly look and don't buy though. I saw a similar art/coloured pencil case, ridiculously cheap, but resisted buying it because I think we probably have most of that stuff around anyway, and it is not getting used. Sometimes I am able to show some will power and pass up a bargain:)<br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-51742881212877188122015-03-24T16:03:11.053-05:002015-03-24T16:03:11.053-05:00You have some awesome boxes to!
