Posted by If you didn’t know, I’m a pen-a-holic. I’m also a notebook and pad hoarder. If I find something I like, don’t try to steal it from me, I will hunt you down. I am a master list maker, on paper and use pens and pencils for everything from doodling to checking off the grocery list, to writing long-form before I put it on the laptop. I like to say my lists have lists.
My business partner and friend, Edward Branley, is also a pen nut, but he does fountain pens, which I also like but i’m not about to take out of the house with me. He was kind enough to send me a monthly subscription to ScribeDelivery.
ScribeDelivery curates a box a month and you get a themed notebook, pens, pencils, stickers, postcards, sticky notes…. I so look forward to the mail showing up with the white envelope! One never knows what’s in there. Everything from really awesome Rhodia notebooks, Write Notepads & Co Landscape notebook, Campus minisize notebooks (#Obsessed), to this month (March 2022)’s landscape notebook in green to tie in to St Patrick’s Day.
And don’t get me started on the pens and pencils that come. Sakura Pigma Micro 05, Zebra Mildliner Double Sided Highlighters, Zebra Clickart Knock Sign Pens, Zebra Sarasa pens (#EvenMoreObsessed), Pentel Energel Gel Pen-Burgundy, Pentel Milky gel rollers, Tombow pens, mechanical pencils, the list just goes on.
Some final thoughts ….
A pen will always be my weapon of choice.
I collect notebooks to better collect my thoughts.
I have a notebook where I keep track of all my notebooks.
And please… stop taking my pens.
So tell me, what is your pen/notebook/pad/pencil of choice… do you watch everyone else write and go, I must have that? [I do!] If you’re looking for me, I’ll be in the office supply store wandering the pen aisle, until I can stalk the mailman for my next month #ScribeDelivery package.
