My Pencil Box

We could  learn a lot from crayons;
some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, 
while others bright, some have weird names, 
but they all have to learn to live together
in the same box.
~ Robert Fulghum

Let me share with you...
* My Pencil Box *
 ***
Do you remember 
having one as a child in grade school?
I thought my pencil box was such a treasure!
***
They say...
 as an artist, we see through "child-like eyes".
 You could imagine how excited I got
and
the my wheels started turning.
These cardboard pencil boxes came home with me.


I even decided to
place my name on the inside of the pencil box.
I was having so much fun with this project!

I printed a label
Then stamped my name 
using this stamp kit.
I love it!
So many possibilities with this stamp set.

What is in your pencil box?


Wishing you all a very
Happy Halloween!

  6. My pencil box is an old cigar box. I take my colored pencils everywhere with me in that box. My cafe is used to me being spread out with my journal and cigar box full of pencils! So fun!

  9. I always loved pencil boxes when I was a kid, and that hasn't changed. Did you decorate the outside of yours yourself? Love that collaging. Great stamp kit, too.
