Colored Smencils

Yes, I have lots of loves. Another love is Colored Smencils. I feel like a kid again when I use colored pencils and these really make me giggle. They are made from 100% recycled newspapers and come packaged in their own (recyclable) Freshness Tube. You may ask why it needs a Freshness Tube. Well, let me tell you why I love these eco art supplies… They are soaked in environmentally-friendly fragrance liquids and they smell YUMMY!

A great gift for under $10 for kids or an adult who is a kid at heart.

To EVEN IT OUT when you are creating in color… use Colored Smencils from Stubby Pencil Studio.

I heart paper!

I know it is probably more environmentally conscious to send an email, write a text or call. Believe me, I probably communicate more via technology than the average American. We know from previous blogs, I am “a high tech girl on a low tech budget.”

Another one of my loves is paper. Yes, I LOVE PAPER. I love to flip through magazines. I love the feeling of a book. I love writing and receiving letters. I love maps. Recently GPS and Google Maps changed my life, so I stopped buying maps. Yeah for the environment and a woohoo for not getting lost!

I would however feel lost if I stopped writing letters. I think letter writing is a lost art and I don’t want to stop writing letters. One of my favorite stationaries is made from recycled maps. Check out Omni Resources in North Carolina for recycled map stationary. For just $4.95 you can order 25 envelopes!!!
