Obsessions: What are yours?
Obsessions other than fabric…what are yours? What makes you crazy when you see it? What’s the one thing you can’t resist buying? Maybe clothes, shoes, dishes, thread, floss, scissors, books or magazines? Do you obsess about something else? I can’t be the only one with a few obsessions can I? Fess up! My secret obsession is…
Paper and Pens!
I love pretty notebooks, fine paper, special pens and I just can’t help myself. Last week my UPS man delivered the most wonderful box of paper and pens. It was like Christmas.
I wish you could feel the smoothness of the paper. It’s so yummy. And the colors, can you stand it? Shades of pink, lavender and pumpkin. Heaven help me I can’t wait to write in these. New spiral notebooks for taking notes when I’m working on a project. New spiral notebooks for my “to do” lists and new pens and pencils to write them with.
Check out the pink fountain pen! I picked a brown ink but I could have selected a multitude of colors. And see that pink pencil on the left? It’s perfect for drawing. Who knows what will happen with a pencil like that! To think that I can be inspired by a new notebook or pen! I’ll share my shopping site for pens and paper just in case you obsess about these too…JetPens.com.
And if you obsess about Dresden plate quilts…while I was busy thinking about what to write in my new notebooks I found 1 more Scrappy Plate Kit…it’s on my website.
If you have a Dresden obsession like me, just visit my Flickr group. I’m there every morning to see if any new plates have appeared. Best thing is it doesn’t cost any money and you don’t have to hide it from your husband!
Back soon!

I love linens, and handbags. I also collect cards, especially ones with great art work on the front. I have a habbit of collecting differnt size glass jars. As far as quilts go I am obsessing over quilts with stars on them.

OH this is hillarious. I have the same obssesion. I just bought a really cute notebook that has “Be Happy” on the outside. I love pens, fine ink, colored Pink is my fav but purple works for me too. I recently purchased some pencils that are #3 lead. They are much finer than the #5 lead but they do break easily. Funny! I thought I was the only one fruit loopy for pads of paper, pens and pencils. I like color pencils but they don’t come in as fine a lead and break more easily. I even use these little lovelies at work. I made a cover for one. That is on my list of things to do for the note books that are not so pretty. I have a notebook for each account I represent so they are like my orgainizational angels. I live on the computer but I can more easily write things and not seem like I’m not paying attention then typing away on the laptop. If I were on my laptop I might just wonder over to bunn….Opps, gotta get back to work :)

I am very healthy emotionally and have no obsessions…..LOL! I love pretty pens and notebooks, too, I feel more inspired using them. There is something about a fountain pen in hand that makes me feel like I’m Jane Austen and I want to keep on writing :) I love Jelly Roll pens, and see some extra fine gel pens on this site that look amazing, and they’re erasable! Then I noticed free shipping on orders over $25…this site is very enticing, thanks for sharing! Oh, and I love buying socks :)
