Welcome to day one of the My Life. In Pictures. photo challenge. Everyone is welcome to join in with this fun photo challenge. To read more about it, click here.
Today the challenge was to photograph something new.
I've had an obsession with brand new crayons and crisp notebook paper since I was little. Back-to-school shopping was always so fun, and I could look at the school supplies forever. I still love to shop in the supply aisle. There is just something so fun about brand new crayons. The possibilites are endless. The tips are perfect. Not a blemish on them. What will they draw? What will they write? An old, worn down tip where you have to peel the paper back is just not the same. Those are good for coloring in large areas, sure, but you just can't get those precise lines without a perfectly perfect, brand new crayon. And don't even try to tell me that I could use the built-in sharpener that comes on the box of 64. Not even close.

So fun! I have to say that I *cheated* a little bit as I added my photo of something new to a post that I wrote last week ...
