[Pen/Pencil Review] The Indiana Jones Souvenir Ball Point Pen
This weekend was an adventure for Jimmy and me… A house full of people, the Fourth of July, adventures with air conditioning. But we did manage to do one of those “We really should go to…” things on our list. We went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History to see the Indiana […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The SoonerCon Pen/Flashlight Combo in Black Ink
In order to help keep Jimmy company when we were both exhausted yesterday, I pretty much “live Facebooked” the drive home from Oklahoma City to Dallas/Fort Worth from SoonerCon. Sorry, Feed. I pretty much said that this week’s blogs would be all about SoonerCon… well, you’ve been warned…even the pen blog is SoonerCon related. This […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Fisher Space Pen Lime Green
Today’s pen is the Fisher Space Pen. I think I had one years ago, but where it ended up is anyone’s guess. This one I picked up at Paradise Pen Company as part of the Birthday Pilgrimage. I was looking for something a bit more affordable this time around that was still cool… and this […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Pilot Petit 1 Re-Review
Today’s pen review starts out with an apology to Pilot Pens. I reviewed the Pilot Petit 1 Green in December. I have it a less than stellar review, but in fairness, I ordered a second one – this one in classic Black -to see if I’d made a mistake, or maybe ended up with a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Disney’s Nightmare Before Christmas Novelty Ball Point Pens
** NOTE ** I made a mistake – Sarah didn’t give me the below pens, Rie Sheridan Rose did. Not to belittle Sarah or FenKids – but credit where credit is due. Rie is an awesome writer. Go check her out. For the next couple of Mondays I’m going to do Halloween (ish) novelty pens, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Padrino Short Ballpoint Pen – Parker Style Refill
Hey, look, it’s Pen Day. One of the many ways I justify my Office Supply Problem. You never know how bad it is until you decide to reorganize your office… But I digress. Today’s review is a Paradise Pen Company “house†brand that I’ve come to like – Padrino. This is a compact ballpoint pen […]
[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 […]
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 […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Halloween Broomstick Novelty Ballpoint Pen – black ink
This Halloween Season, I’m featuring a novelty pen I found at Walgreens. This one is a “Broom Penâ€. It’s a plastic body that looks like wood with the old fashioned broom end. It called to me from the seasonal aisle. This inexpensive pen is too much fun. For a ballpoint, it actually writes pretty well. […]
