Sharpies and Flairs–Back to School Delight

Texter and I went on a back-to-school shopping trip today.  I already have a stash of notebook paper and a ton of pencils, but always can use a binder and always, always NEED markers.  They are kind of a grown-ups version of crayons (although, I will love you forever for a 64 count box of crayons.)

So these were my ‘new products’ for back to school.  Ok, they are for my artwork, but that’s back to school too.

Yep, we discovered the new Twin Tip Sharpies – thin and thick tip.  I have these three colors, 1 black and these two colors….

  Aren’t they great!  Can’t wait to try some of my tangles with with different colors.

But, my bit of nostalgia, and a place in my heart remains with my FLAIR pens.

These were the colored pens of my youth and I still love my flairs.  These 16 colors came in their own carrying case.

So all my new pens are in a bigger pencil box with my Prismacolor pens (which also have thick/thin ends).  And I found some tracing paper on sale at Office Max which will be used on some art journaling pages I’m sure.  Love my new supplies.  I’m going to play now.
