Crayon Update... good info and testing

there are a ton of blogs out there about cooking down old crayons to make new ones. We tried it and here is what we came up with.

• Don't do it when your tired and your kids are in bed... When you forget and leave them in the freezer over night they crack and then you have to cook them over again.
• If you put a wick in the center, they make very cool floating candles...
• If you can get some old pots from a garage sale, you can cook them up and pour them in candy tins and make different shapes (expect pictures of this in a future blog, closer to the holidays)

A few more good ideas came from:
eSSORTMENT shows how to make your own crayons from scratch!
A Year of Crockpotting shows you can make them anywhere!
Craft Daisies makes them as mini muffins and great gifts.. cute!
Celtic Mommy shows an easy clean up method... good idea!
Education.com goes old school and makes stained glass (and also says that ice trays are good shapes too, good idea)
