I just got a set of these pencils as a birthday gift. They are made from recycled newspapers and are non-toxic. These pencils claim to be water resistant and to last 2-3 times longer than ordinary wood pencils. Each pencil is printed with wildlife graphics like leopard spots, snakeskin and zebra stripes.
This is one of my favorite notebooks.
The Hand*Book Journal Co. blank books are beautiful. They are covered in hardback book cloth with blank pages inside. The paper is heavier weight and toothier than a standard Moleskine (and much cheaper) and available in a square 5×5 size, as well as more traditional 3×5 and 5×8-ish size. The elastic is a bit more substantial but the book mark is shorter than the Moleskine. They are produced by a local Kansas City company called Global Art Materials which makes me more inclined to support the local guys! I wish they had a shop in town. I’d love to buy directly from them.
Highly recommended. Available in all sizes on Amazon

All hail the Sherpa!
The Sherpa is a brilliant little invention to classy-up your Sharpie or other disposable pen or marker. They are well-weighted metal casings that fit over an existing pen. I bought a Sharpie Sherpa for my husband and he loves it. It helps him keep track of his oft-used Sharpie because he doesn’t want to lose the Sherpa.
Sherpas can be used with the following pen types:
- Sharpie® Fine Point Permanent Marker
- uni-ball® Vision™
- uni-ball® Vision Elite™
- uni-ball® Deluxe
- Papermate Liquid Espresso®
- Pilot® P-700
- Pilot® P-500
- Pilot® V-Ball Grip
- Pilot® V Razor®
If your favorite pen just happens to sell for under $2 at the big-box office supply shop, no one will ever have to know!
