Bought some of theses [http://www.crayola.com/browse-products/crystal-effects-window-markers.aspx](http://www.crayola.com/browse-products/crystal-effects-window-markers.aspx) via ebay. I have only just had a play with them. My bedroom window looks like Jack frost has been to visit. Nice video of them in action [Crayola crystal effects window markers - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nac3v7wEgx8) ---

Our house has two small walls that used to be exterior walls but became interior walls when we added another room to the house. But we left the two windows in place, so we have these two double-sash windows in our house. Anyway, our kids got these crystal window markers several months ago and they love them. They play a game where one kids stands on each side of the window and they take turns adding to a picture together from opposite sides of the glass. ---

Must have gotten humid overnight because my lovely crystals have turned liquid. Oh well must force myself to play with them again 😉
