I don’t know about you, but getting new office supplies is like Christmas for an adult.
There is something deeply satisfying about ripping open a new package of pens and making house hold lists. From vivid ink colors that make doodling on my calendar fun (look at the little cake on Phoenyxs birthday Thursday…that was fun to make):
to serious ink pens that unfortunately I know will eventually end up in my daughters craft box and husbands briefcase.
I swear I could start out with 50 pens…and by the end of the month there will only be one left standing.
It’s like pen migration!
And even though I am a blogger and you think I spend all day typing and texting, the truth is that I love to write. There is something deeply satisfying about adding things to my lists and calendars and striking “done” lines through them.
Back to school
Between color coding organization and homework systems and signing parental worksheets, this upcoming school year is going to be full of ways to use the new Papermate Inkjoy pens. Charlotte is already deciding which colors will be right for all her journaling projects!
What makes InkJoy Different than any other pen?
This is how Papermate explains their new technology:
The other day I posed a question to one of my facebook pages and asked what KIND of ink everyone liked to use:
Here were some of the answers:
Now let me ask you…
Do YOU have an ink pen preference?

I received ink pen samples from Papermate and Deca to facilitate this article.
I’m a fine-point girl when I use pen. AND I love using all different colors. I use a different one for different things. When I get a new planner each year, I immediately get out my different pens and go at it with everyone’s birthdays, all the holidays, other important days, etc. I also draw little pictures for things: like for the first day of spring, I draw a flower; for Halloween, I draw a jack-o-lantern, etc.
I do also use pencil for appts. that might change, so I can erase them and reschedule them.
Yes, I prefer a nice full round tip with ink that won’t smear. I prefer black, but sometimes I’ll use pink. I would like to have a pink pen with black ink, but those are hard to come by. I don’t like those fine tip pens that feel like they’re going to rip the paper. It makes my handwriting unattractive. It annoys the crud out of me when I use a pen that skips ink when I can darn well see it has ink in it. A pet peeve of mine is when someone KNOWS the pen is out of ink and they put it back in the drawer.
Never heard of InkJoy but I’ll need to check them out. One thing I don’t like are gel pens. I don’t like the little tails they leave on the paper when I write.
I like thick ball point pens. I am not overly picky – but I do want a thick tip.
I love InkJoy pens and I have a couple dozen, but started out with 4!
I just love coloring w/ them…they make the planner that much more entertaining.
I’m a stalker I tell ya!
I love colorful pens. I actually want to start using pen in my planner… for things set in stone. I make lists all the time and putting things online don’t work for me. I need paper!
I took some w/ me out of town and I made sure I didnt leave them in the hotel. LOL! They really are a nice pen. I am afraid charlotte and her friends are going to steal them.
