Colors of Kindness

Beth Ann Chiles/ Products, Writing/ 18 Comments/ 731

Doesn’t that title just kind of make you smile? It definitely made me smile when I found this box of crayons at the store the other day. I know Crayola has a marketing plan and tries to sell as many crayons as they possibly can Continue reading →
