I have always been a Sharpie fan. From the time every band had them so they could write on your forearm or on the record label, I have thought Sharpies were wonderful little tools of communication.
If you were to come into an art supplies store, or a stationery shop, with me, you'd see how I gravitate to the Sharpie corner---I crave the ones in the 10-to-a-package format, the coloured ones, the glitter ones, the baby ones and I seldom leave without at least one new Sharpie.
So how can it be that I, who have an office space 24 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 2 1/2 ft tall, who have organized the bejeezus out of that meagre "desk", can never find a Sharpie when I need one? I have a little black tray, the perfect size for all manner of pens, letter openers, highlighters, pretty rocks and strangely, a red rubber clown nose. But can I find a permanent or a washable Sharpie, a black or a fluorescent Sharpie, or a Sharpie of any kind when I need one?
Actually, I'm not sure that anyone ever needs a Sharpie, but there are many times when one would be the perfect answer to a note-writing, list-making, rule-giving dilemma.
So, friends and family, it's Sharpie Amnesty Weekend. You know where to put them.
LOL I am a 'pen' freak, too! I discovered after my stroke over 30 years ago when I had no choice but to learn to be right-handed, that plain old ballpoints were difficult for me and that Sharpies and the gel-type pens were easier for me so I own a plethora of them in all shapes and colors.
ReplyDeleteYou're not too Sharp-ie are ya?
ReplyDeleteMy husband steals my Sharpie collection on a regular basis. I intend to by a huge collection and give them all to him at Christmas so he will leave mine alone.
ReplyDeleteI really don't mind sharing. But they never find their way home and when he asked he has no idea what he did with them.. I BET....
