[Pen/Pencil Review] The Graphite Pencil + Paper Summer Subscription Box
This is the unboxing video (take 2 because I am NOT a videographer) of the Graphite Pencil + Paper Summer subscription box. The Blackwing Volume 840 is for the 1902 surf icon Duke Kahanamoku.
[Pen/Pencil Review] Graphite + Paper Subscription Box 2 Unboxing
Well, this was a surprise… Jimmy apparently DID get more than a single box from Graphite + Paper in McKinney, TX. This box came in this week along with our copy of Martha Wells’s Network Effect. If you haven’t read the Murderbot Diaries — go get those. And while you’re waiting to read them, enjoy […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Graphite Pencil + Paper Subscription Box
I attempted an unboxing video for this blog. I still stink at selfies – and stink worse at video selfies. I probably didn’t even do the unboxing part right. This was a Christmas present from Jimmy – the Graphite Pencil + Paper January Subscription Box. Be kind to me on this one, but here we […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Happy New Year – 2020 edition
We are all going to be doing “vision” jokes for the next year. I wish I could say everything was going to be on time and brilliant – because it’ll be one or the other, and sometimes neither, consistent might be a thing. But I promise to do my best. There will always be things […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Graphite Pencil + Paper Store
I know this is a day late – Day Job has been a bear. So this will be quick. This past weekend, Jimmy wanted to do something different…spontaneous even. We headed up to McKinney, Texas, on Sunday afternoon. First we hit up our friends at Carpe Diem Comics, and did our part to make it […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] I Found a New Store…
In continuing with a theme of “Rhonda is a pen addictâ€, I have too many pens but keep acquiring more – compounded with “Squirrel Brain†to some degree – it’s hard to focus when it’s 100+ degrees and you have intermittent houseguests. We love having houseguests but it does play a little havoc with trains […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Slight Confession of a Lost Cause
When I tell people that I do a pen review blog, the comments range from “That’s so COOL!” to “You talk about what? How often? Really?” The “why?” is implied. But I admit I have a borderline unhealthy love of office supplies and stationary. Heck, I’ve written more than one blog post and interview article […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Speech & Thought Bubble Sticky Notes
I have awesome friends. They find me fun and unusual pens and other lovely things. These sets of sticky notes came from my friend, Meredith, and I wish I had more opportunities to use them – though when I get my novel edits, I think I’ll have ample opportunities. These sticky notes came in two […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Rerun – The Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook
I apologize for the rerun – but this is a transition week into a new job and had some Real Life stuff raise its inevitable head. So, I’m going to rerun this review because after a year (mostly because I used it for a lot of writing samples), the notebook is nearly full – I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Murder by Fred – the Post Convention Rerun
I mentioned I’d be doing a couple of reruns this month. This one was from July 2011… — I’ve seen the Fred line of products in catalogs before but haven’t ever gotten around to ordering any of them – no matter how cool. Fortunately for me, a brand new Sam Moon opened up in my […]
