  3. I adore your monogram! Hmmm... What a great way to use my old and bring out the new. (I have about four boxes of colored pencils waiting for the day I let myself introduce them to Mr. Sharpener.)

  4. How fun is that r!? My mother has a thing for pens - always has. We always had extra pens in our house growing up because she always brought them home.

  5. Ha! Does this mean we can all come out of the closet? I started collecting tilt pens years ago and I have over 200. I love the "r" art.

  7. I have a feeling that the reason I often stall out of inspiration for writing at the computer is the inherent association of creativity with the marvelous tactile pleasure of writing with a pencil or pen. I'm also very particular about my implements... When the BackToSchool stuff comes out every year, I start to drool wondering what new supply goodies await!

  8. Sharpies are my favorite writing utensil. Doesn't matter if they are super fat or ultra fine, I love them all. The post came up in my reader today and it is very timely. She makes some great art out of these materials: http://indiefixx.com/2009/10/21/wednesday-indie-artist-fixx-with-jennifer-maestre/
    Enjoy! =]

  12. Maybe this is an addiction that I need to pick up. I can never find a pencil at my house when I need it. Or a pen that writes WELL. drives me crazy. Or scissors in whatever room I'm in when I need them. Maybe I'll develop a scissors addiction. They come in so many yummy colors these days.

  13. It makes me glad I'm not the only one who "collects" pens, pencils, markers, highlighters, dryerase markers, etc., etc.
