Recycled Crayons

Do you have a lot of broken crayons like I did?

Why not make recycled crayons?

Fill foil muffin tins with broken crayon pieces. I also made crayons using paper bathroom cups (they won't burn at such low temps) but they did melt a little to the muffin pan so make sure you use an old one. Putting the wax in letter or shape tins would be cute also.

Melt in oven at 250 degrees or lower for 20-30 minutes or until melted. Just keep an eye on them.

Now you have new crayons.

You can also mix colors to make multicolored crayons or unique colors.

Have Fun!

Freezer Jam

What can you do with a bucket of fresh, juicy strawberries?

I tried something NEW!

Freezer Jam!

Although when I had them cut up, I ate a few. Don't they look delicious?

My plan was to give away the jam and make more, but have you ever tasted homemade jam? I need to make more to pass along! :)

Go ahead and try it. You will not be sorry! I can't wait until the blackberries and damsen berries are ready to be picked to make more varieties. But until then STRAWBERRY it is! YUMMY!
