1 February 2011 Journal Page and Some Pen Stuff
First-the good news, THE REFRIGERATOR is here! YAY!! Happy dance! It's brand, spanking new! It is a bit bigger than the previous fridge (um, they never measured before they ordered-of course!) but at least it's here and it's working. Now to fill it up! YAY!
I love how those two pages look together. Is the face on the left side a stencil?
Enjoy your new refrigerator. It's so much fun to fill up a brand new one for the very first time, huh? Your talking about them jogged my memory of my very FIRST one...it was PINK with copper shelves. It was so adorable. Can't remember the brand, think it might have been G.E.
Congrats on the new fridge. I love your page. I had to click on it because at first to me it looked like the side of a person with flowers on top of their head. I have no idea why that's what I saw. Love all the little details you use on your pages.
wait, don't they still sell the extra fine sharpies at (big craft chain store that starts with an "M")? does this mean they're discontinuing? hope not! cool pages, too!
thanks for the information on Sharpie. After reading your pen recommendations i found Sharpie PP at Office Depot but they were out the next time. Michael's does carry them as well as a generic brand that's OK.
Sanford discontinued the waterbased poster paint pens a couple of years ago.
In 2010, Michaels was given an exclusive test run of the "new" (not really, they just took the word poster from the name) pens and called them paint pens. The pens are (or were) in a trial run last year. Depending upon how well they sold, Sanford would continue making them.
At the same time, you could still find poster paint pens (in a variety of colors and tip sizes) in various locations as Sanford made hundreds of thousands of them.
My guess is that they sold well enough at Michaels but only in the fine and medium tip points, so Sanford has discontinued extra fine along with certain colors. Sad.
Posca pens are the same as Sanford and in extra fine and similar colors to what Sanford is no longer making.
All that said, you will probably be able to find them at Michaels and other locations until they sell out. After that, you will only see them in select sizes and colors.
I do NOT recommend stocking up on the white. It is the only pen where the ink separates and does funky things.
I only buy water based. I do not like oil based products. :)
