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!

    Anne, I have had a ‘thing’ for fountain pens since I was in junior high school. I bought a Waterman years ago to go with a journal my daughter gave me as a gift to write my poetry in after my first one was published and I save it purely for that purpose…BUT…that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t love to have some for just jotting things down. Or using in my Bible study classes and of course, writing poetry before it’s finished and ready for the journal. Oh yes…I’m heading over to see if I can afford to feed my fountain pen ‘thing’ and maybe, just maybe get a pretty notebook to go with it. Thank you *I think* LOL. Big Hugs…
