S/o Secret love of school/office supplies ;)

I'm actually quite sad DS doesn't get a supply list cause I LOVE Office Depot...especially at Back to School time.

This!

May I please join your club? My current favorite pen is the Pentel Energel. Love how it writes, and love my handwriting when I use it.  

I confess that a few years ago I bought myself the box of 64 Crayola crayons. It was a silver, special edition box!

I still have it tucked away. I haven't even let my grands play with them

   I often say that my idea of a perfect shopping day would be to spend the morning in Staples and the afternoon at Lowe's.

  Is there a support group for that?

SSSSHHHHHHH! don't tell my daughter she will have to go as fast as she can to the store and buy it... Like she needs another pencil sharpener. She is addicted to school supplies. always has been and always will be. 

In fact when we were moving into this house last year I was helping her organize her room. She had 6 rubbermaid totes full of school supplies. she is in her third year of college and doesn't need all of the stuff like grade schoolers or even high schoolers need. she isn't take art classes or anything like that so she doesn't need colored pencils or crayons but she buys them every year. she has pencil holders and folders and notebooks. oh my god she has a tote full of empty notebooks just sitting in the garage. I ask her what she going to do with them and she says save them..... The last count I counted 8 pencil sharpeners of various kinds and sizes. she says she needs them all.... 

It cracks me up... she has saved a bunch of starbucks coffee bottles and she said she is going to put all her supplies like paper clips and erasers and other small stuff in them..... she has enough paper clips of every size to stock the entire high school here with them in every room and then some.... and she is a pencil hoard she has pencils that she has had since first grade that is still unsharpened. she says they are special and she will never use them. 

She drives me nuts.... as I look over at my table in my craft rooma nd look at the pile of school stuff she has left on my table. she was in her last week using my desk....  I can call her an addicted school supply hoader.... I think she needs a 12 step program.... 

It is no secret that I love school supplies. I am sad I don't have an elementary student any more because middle school and high school supplies aren't as fun. Last year I bought the 8 monochrome packs of crayons just because. I have a box of 120 crayons in my desk at school. They will never be used. The best part about the new school year starting is that I get to shop for supplies.

I have always been in love with office supplies! Always! Always! Always!

I do feel better that I'm not the only one! Walking through Staples or Office Depot...heaven!

When I was a kid, I used to not play school, but office - just so I could write on paper and file things. I'm an administrative assistant IRL, just so I can file and be organized. I love file folders, label makers and a good old-fashioned black Flair marker.

I've tried digital scrapbooking - but I can't - I have to touch the paper!

Also have fond memories of new crayons and colored pencils - the good things in life - a blank piece of paper!

It's good to know I'm not alone

My youngest is 21 and I still came home from Target the other day with a Mead 5Star notebook, pens, Wite-Out, and some nice mechanical pencils. He just shook his head and put them in his box of stuff to take to college.

I love to wander up and down the school supply aisles at this time of year. I touch the notebooks, look at all the pens and wish that I still had kids with supply lists. And I always stock up on my favorite pens for school for myself... the Uniball Signo. (And maybe a few nice mechanical pencils and some pretty colors of Sharpie pens)

I love office and school supplies......pens are my weakness...
