One of the small, fun benefits of taking classes is the implied permission to collect supplies. Promotional pens and pencils, colorful clips, happy highlighters and a pencil sharpener that I forgot I even owned!
The coursework is hard and I will write about it in more detail someday. But every time I see pretty desk items on sale, I justify their purchases with, “I’m going to neeeeed this!”
They match the new life that I am crafting.

Nice combination!

I totally get this! I love having nice stationery and art supplies. Even when I was a kid, a huge treat for me was to go and buy a really beautiful notebook. I have a favourite pen to write with and won’t use grungy old erasers. Actually reading this, I think I’m just OCD.

I don’t think that’s OCD, or maybe I’m not the right person to make that diagnosis!
