• Starting College Like a Boss!

    K is Starting College! My best friend’s oldest daughter is starting college this year at Kent State University (go Flashes)! I’ve gotten two degrees from there, so I’m extra excited for her, not to mention jealous. K is starting on this wonderful new journey of self-discovery, new ideas, exposure to new cultures, and the chance…

  • Form WITH Function: Office Supplies and Practical Uses

      I have made it very clear on this site and in person that I have a deep, abiding obsession with all things office/stationary. However, these beautiful items are belittled if not put to good use. So what are some good uses? To address this, I’m expanding the scope of my blog from just reviews…

  • Bible Marking Made Fun!

    I used to work in a Christian bookstore. I loved it and my co-workers and I learned a LOT. However, my favorite things to peruse were all of the Bible marking tools (shocking, I know). One time, I found one of the most magnificent tools I’ve ever seen. It’s the Pentel 8-Color Pencil. Anyone who’s…

  • The Last Mechanical Pencil You’ll Ever Need

    First, let me confess – I have terrible writing. Any of my friends will attest to this. It’s fine if I’m taking my time and being deliberate, but how often do I do that? Yeah, not often. Anyway, one of the things I’ve noticed is that I have better general writing when using a .5mm mechanical…

  • Early obsession

    I have this desire to share my love of just about anything. If you’ve read any of my posts here, on Facebook, Twitter; looked at my Etsy shop, or talked to me; you may have picked up on this fact. I have a serious love affair with stationary, pens, notebooks, binders, scrapbook supplies, and everything else that falls…

  • Snail’s Pace

    If you’ve never met me, you may not realize the level of my impatience. If my stomach is growling, cooking is not an option. I usually choose cereal or a sandwich. Who has time to wait for a stove to heat, let alone time for the food to cook?! I have more exciting things to…

  • My Fauxdori Set Up!

    In my last post, I only showed the front of my journal cover. My mom asked why I didn’t show the inside. This post is to correct that oversight. Midori is the brand name of the Japanese company that originated this type of journal. We can’t get them here, and most of us don’t want…

  • Journals Galore

    I am starting the journey to starting my own business. I want to share my love of stationary, journals, photography, and writing. I have many interests, but I’d like to share certain passions with you all here. I want to learn from others and share what I know. I hope to connect with others who…
