Flipping through the channels one day I started watching MSNBC's Lockup. I was really impressed by one of the inmates, Krystal O'Reilly. Krystal's attitude and sincerity really impressed me and then I realized that she is very creative too.
Krystal was making cards and stationary out of homemade crayons. Her crayons were old magazines or newspapers, deodarant and tampons. Krystal would rub the tampon on the deodarant and then onto a magazine or newspaper and the tampon would pick up the ink. The she used a stencil she made and rubbed the edges with her "crayon" making pretty shapes on her letters to her son and mom. (Krystal making her cards is at the 2:00 minute mark in the video)
I was so impressed with how creative she was and thought to myself, "Man, I think if I was in jail this would be me." I hope I would be so creative anyway!
Thank you Krystal for sharing your story with the world and I wish you, your son and your mom the best of luck and that you have a happy life.
