imagine me standing at the front of the room saying, "my name is jean and i am a marker addict." no matter how hard i try to not buy markers i lapse. these are crayola gel markers. they are not as good as the all time best gel markers which i can no longer find. every now and then, i am in officemaxdepotstaples and i am there because i have agreed to do a job and something computer related has caused me to have to go to a store and i am no longer making a decent hourly rate and i fall off the wagon and think, well, since this job is no longer a gravy job, i might as well wallow in self pity with a new box of markers. then, i found out that these markers look great on kraft paper and i remember that the trunk (of my car) is full of kraft paper that i was going to get rid of and dang, my other addiction (paper) kicked in and i go retrieve the paper. isn't there someone out there who wants to stage an intervention? well, obviously my immediate family does....but none of them read the blog.
Awesome! Why not indulge if you're having fun? That is what life should be about!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Carol. Life is short ENJOY.
ReplyDeleteThe kraft envelopes, stamps, colorful markers and a great deal of creativity sure make interesting designs
I like the simplicity of brown paper at Christmas. Some years I also like the shiny stuff, too. These remind me of gingerbread! Hoping to see some of your designs to go with the gingerbread house stamps soon.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to report there is no KNOWN cure for marker and paper addiction. I myself have a closet full of wall paper sample books that make great envelopes. These kraft paper envies are the best!
ReplyDeleteWhat are the all time best gel markers you can no longer find?
