Sharpies


You know...my favorite pen has to be a Sharpie fine point. What is yours? I use them for everything...writing to addressing envelopes, making things that need to be in permanent ink. I just want more all the time...in every color imaginable! Is this the world's greatest pen or what? I only wish that they would be made in a micron tip!!! Can you even imagine what a world we would have if this were available??
Below is a pic of my new Sakura brand Pen Touch white opaque pen...it is pretty cool. There are three sizes of this pen, and mine is the fine point 1.0 mm....but I don't think they carried the smaller tip...0.7 mm at the store where I found it. I did find this online store, Soft Expressions that carries them. I must have that tiny tip!

Other than the people we love, is there anything better than cactus and art??? Hmmm............Have a succulent, and artsy day!

  5. I'm not much of an artist, but I do like a well-made pen. I thought I'd lost my favorite one a while back and then found it in a purse I hadn't used for a while. It's the pen I use when I write letters by hand which isn't very often anymore. I seem to do most things on the computer now. Maybe letter writing will soon become a lost art form. I love the pics of you and the grandkids.

  7. Pudgeduck...why don't you try making ATC's with us????? You would love it...

    Judi- thanks!!! The pen I used to use years back was called a Pilot Razor Point, but I can't find them anymore, sadly! It had the perfect point.

  8. I know what you mean about finding the perfect pens! I had a Uniball Signo white gel pen that I absolutely loved. Never clogged, lasted quite a while, good coverage, but expensive for a gel pen ($2.25 for one pen, plus shipping.) These pens are so good though, they are worth it, but now, the price is up to $3.70 for one pen! White is hard to come by, so I have to order and pay whatever price being charged.
