Tackle It Tuesday

tackle

This Tackle It Tuesday focuses on one of my obsessions. Office supplies.

I have a giant box full of pens, pencils, and markers that has accumulated over the past year. I’m sure there are quite a few logo pens in the punch, and I “borrow” the rest from work, the post office, and the doctors office. Unfortunately, I’m not very good are returning them.

Some ink cartridges are empty, markers dry, pencil leads broken, and IMG 2106mechanical lead empty. I finally took the time to grab a piece of paper and make sure every writing utensil works. Even though my before and after picture looks the same, I feel better knowing that every pen, pencil, and marker in the box is fully functional.

Stop by 5 Minutes for Mom and see what else people are tackling this Tuesday!

  1. ahhh the dreaded pen drawer!! good luck!

  2. Hey, thanks for stopping by my place! Isn’t it nice to have the writing utensils organized? One day when I get my dream studio, I’m going to have only my special favorite pens kept in a secret locked drawer that none of my children can get into. The right pen makes all the difference sometimes…

  6. It looks like my daughter’s art box! That is one project I would never tackle.

  7. Linda - Batter Blaster will not disappoint!

  8. Shauntelle - that’s a riot. Should we take so much pleasure out of working pens?
