Conversations got started yesterday about folks’ preference for rubber stamp inks and I realized that this is a topic I’ve never pursued. Since I like to use rubber stamps to annotate my paper planner and my mail, navigating the array of rubber stamp ink pads is something I thought I should investigate. There are many…

Review: OfficeMax Mechanical Pencils
With just a couple weeks before school starts back here, the excitement of back-to-school is hitting me again. Do you remember going to the store with your mom to fill a shopping cart full of new pencils, erasers, notebooks and tools? I know every parent dreads it, but as a fledgling office supply junkie, it…

In its fancy box is an ink cartridge…
