The Box of 64 was the biggest one when I was little so I still get that one for sentimental reasons. Crayola is my brand of choice too. Nothing smells as good as a new box of Crayola crayons. I did not know they will customize a box for you...Hmmm? Great gift idea! <br />I got yellow roses from my husband of 39 yrs. He always gets our 2 daughters and 1 DIL a rose too. When the girls were little he would get them a small heart box of chocolate and it was the one Valentine they looked forward to each year.<br />Blessings<br />Gmama JaneGmama Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866486725742104875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-795835462758830142012-02-16T06:19:30.369-08:002012-02-16T06:19:30.369-08:00I have two boxes in my drawer at work.

I prefer colored pencils when I am designing quilts, but in two weeks I'll be 45 years old, and I still enjoy coloring.<br /><br />Valentine's day falls right in the middle of my wife's birthday and my birthday, and with Christmas only 32 days before her birthday, we wind up with 4 gift giving occasions in a 64 day period.<br /><br />This year we decided to go big at Christmas (I got a new sewing machine and she got a HDTV and a Blue Ray player) and not do birthdays or Valentine's day...<br /><br />I'll never make that deal again. I HATED not getting her something for Valentine's day, but I know her well enough to know that she would have been very mad at me had I violated our agreement. So this was the first and last Valentine's Day with no gifts for me...<br /><br />Love reading your blog.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624140507953560723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-18409825891834071482012-02-16T04:51:11.095-08:002012-02-16T04:51:11.095-08:00There is nothing better than a new box of Crayola ...There is nothing better than a new box of Crayola crayons.
