Something that made me smile

So before scrapbooking came along, and all those pretty pretty supplies come along, I used to fulfill my scrapbooking needs I didn’t know I had by buying pretty stationery.  I have never really gotten over this, and still love buying pretty stationery including nice pens.  The kids are following in my footsteps and can’t enter smiggle without wanting one thing or another.  I am also like that with Kikki K.

 

But my latest fave place to browse is Borders up at Albany.  They have recently redone their stationery section and now have the coolest paper goods area with so many fun things like pens and pencils, tags and even that Japanese masking tape that everyone loves so much at the moment.  While the boys were browsing the kids books the other day before we went to Despicable Me I had a bit of a browse.  I could have bought lots, but since just the day before I had gone off at the boys because they had once again pinched my pencil and eraser out of my tool tote I came away with these:one of these:

 

pantone pencil

 

A Pantone Pencil (HB),  and one of these:

 

pantone eraser

 

A Pantone eraser (mine in Tomato Red). 

 

How cool?  Only a small purchase, but none the less, something that I thought was rather nifty.  I will definitely be heading back to borders for stocking gifts as we get closer to Christmas!!
