As promised on Friday, I am reviewing the new-to-me Pilot Juice 0.5 gel pens. The pens look like a lot of the Japanese gel pens on the market but I thought I’d give them a try. What I didn’t realize until I started writing this, is that the inks in the Juice are water-resistant and…

Plugging the Firm: Hallmark Blank Journals
I recently discovered a whole end-cap at the Hallmark Gold Crown Store of blank journals. There were lots of fun patterns and designs. Some were hardcover or soft cover, some with elastics and others with ribbon bookmarks. I couldn’t limit myself to just one. So I bought three. All three journals (a fancy term for…

Swingline Low-Force 1-Hole Punch
I recently purchased a budget chrome-ish hole punch. Sometimes, I just need to punch a hole or two and, boy, was I ever disappointed. It tore the paper around the edges — even jsut one or two sheets of copy paper would get shredded. The punched-hole catcher would fly open at random intervals scattering hole-chads…
