    Already pinned, but had to come over and comment as your lavender playdough was what inspired me and helped me learn to embrace and love playdough rather than dread it. Thanks! http://jennifischer.blogspot.com/2012/08/lavender-playdough-how-i-learned-to.html

    I am wondering about storage. Some kinds we have refrigerated others in an air tight container. Which is the best for this type?
