I don't know about all of you, but I get excited about pens and pencils...especially when I find ones I love..haha
As most of you know, I will review products every now and again; however, I will only post about the things I truly like and I am not paid to do so. I do get to try out new things for free... and sometimes... they are AWESOME!!
I recently got a chance to try out the new Premium Pen by Sharpie, and I am in love with this pen!! I am going to need to buy this pen in bulk, which by the way, you can do when purchasing office supplies at Shoplet.com!!
I have literally been using this pen so much that my son made me a Loom charm to hang from it..haha!! It is completely versatile. The pen has a soft rounded tip and does not bleed through regular printer paper so far. I have to say that this has been a great pen to use for sketching as well....
I also got to try the neon Sharpie set, which I have had in my Amazon wishlist for quite some time! I was not as impressed with the neon pens. Although the colors seem fun, they do not show up well on paper and the yellow is completely useless.. The tip is far too thin and hard to use as a highlighter, but it might be great for circling words or underlining text. The price is a little steep for a marker set of four and they are really not practical for daily use. I am glad that I can now remove those from my Amazon wish list.. HA!!
The Metallic Permanent Markers by Sharpie were quite fun to use!! For a little over $4 bucks, you get two metallic, fine-point markers and they are actually very nice. Many of the metallic markers I have used will bleed too quickly, causing the lines to be very thick, but these are great! I used them on a few file folders and I loved how nicely they wrote and the colors look good on just about any colored folder...even yellow!!
Now beyond the review....I have been looking for some dry erase markers to use on my glass wipe board. Because the board is transparent, I am having a difficult time finding dry erase markers in various colors that show up dark enough. Below is a picture of my board so you can see what I mean. And YES, I cleaned it off, just so I could snap a photo.. hahaha.
I used Washi tape to create the columns.. just in case any of you were wondering about that...
I also use one of the socks my granny gave me as my eraser... tehehe
What is your favorite dry-erase marker brand with colors that show up dark??? I would love some suggestions and a reason to purchase more dry erase markers... haha Please comment below with a link or name of the dry erase markers you would suggest below. I would love to use some pretty colors on my board... so long as the ink shows up dark enough. SO many of the colored dry erase markers show up faint and difficult to read...
Thanks for stopping by!! Now to fill out my board again...
Have a great Tuesday everyone!!!
NEW Clipart!!
You can now purchase clipart directly from my WEBSITE!!!
The links below will take you to the new bunnies, which have been marked down...
I see that you have two calendars next to your dry erase board. I'm curious to know how you use each of these differently.
ReplyDeleteHa!!
DeleteThe one to the right is a "desktop" calendar that I hung up and I use solely to schedule Custom Blog Designs. It helps me see what I have for the month in one place. The other calendar is one I purchased because it had cute illustrations and quotes... I actually don't use it for anything, but a quick reference. I use a scheduling calendar on my desk to track my daily list and keep up with social media. I will say that I have not been doing well keeping up with blog posts.
