[Pen/Pencil Review] The NOT A Review Pen Post
Okay, so I’m not doing a review today. I’ve been hit by a truck called ConDFW. This was my second convention/show in two weeks. I’m close to useless today. However, I discovered some fun stuff this weekend. This pen blog does have some legs – thank you all. Mom was right – Paradise Pen Company […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Austin College Gift Pen
This week’s pen blog is another one of the pens I got received for Christmas. It’s an Austin College Retractable that my niece, Suzanne gave me. This pen is lovely. The body is black plastic, but with a lacquer shine. It’s a promotional type pen, so the hardware isn’t the best, but it’s not the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Cross Contour Ballpoint Pen
This week’s pen blog is one of the pens I got received for Christmas, the Cross Contour in the Satin Chrome finish. This pen is lovely. The body has the satin finish. The top and clip are shiny chrome. The base of the pen is chrome with black rubber grips. It’s a ball point with […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Sharpie Sherpa The Year of the Dragon
I’m trying to be better about getting things done this week – so here’s the Monday Pen Blog. This week is the Sherpa Shell – the Limited Edition Year of the Dragon Sherpa. Mine is 724/888. Now, I’ve seen the Sherpa Shells. I haven’t bought one because the frugal part of me didn’t understand a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Paper Mate Flair Ultra Fine
This week’s pen blog is a bit late, but it’s still Monday, so it’s still technically on time. This week I’m visiting an oldtimer, the Paper Mate Flair Ultra Fine marker pen. I’m not usually a fan of porous point pens – and this is the one time that a finer point doesn’t mean better […]
The Kikkerland Retro Ballpoint Pen with Stylus
The Kikkerland Retro Ballpoint pen with the stylus tip was – and to some extent still is – a pen I wasn’t sure I was going to like. Jimmy and I found this at World Market in December while Christmas Shopping. It was in the stocking stuffer section. And shocker…it ended up in my stocking […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Avant Pro SilkScribe Gel Pen 1.0mm Black Ink
Before Christmas I talked about the Staples Avant pens. Staples has a whole line of these that were on sale. I picked up a couple of them. I talked about the retractable ones. Now I’m going to talk about the Avant Pro SilkScribe with 1.0mm black ink. The SilkScribe is a capped stainless steel pen […]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (Eve) This week’s pen blog is taking one last holiday to say good bye to 2012 and welcome 2013. We will return to your previously scheduled review of pens, pencils – and other writing related instruments. Never fear there will be a lot of fun stuff coming in 2013… this photo is […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pen Post Takes a Holiday
Merry Christmas Eve, y’all. I’m taking the day off this week. I’ll return with more pen and pencil reviews next Monday. I hope you enjoy reading these – and/or get something out of it. I like playing with pens and sharing that with you. If there’s anything you’d like to see reviewed in 2013 (and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Avant Next 0.5mm Gel Pen – Black Ink
So sometimes I shouldn’t be allowed into Staples. Really. I managed to get out of Office Max and Office Depot relatively unscathed earlier this week. But Staples? Not so much. I did pick up a refill to try in my Pentel Libretto, and a couple of solo Sharpie gel highlighters (blue and green). Then there […]
