European Paper Company Give-away Winner!

I am a planner geek. I started back in 1982 with a pocket daytimer. So, when I had the opportunity to enter the Eureopean Paper give-away for a Moleskine planner, I jumped at it. And I won!!!! So here we go.

The mailbox revealed a package that held...

another envelope! Which was opened to reveal cardboard!

So I tossed that crap aside to find a shrink-wrapped book!

Being the subtle guy that I am, I pulled my pocket knife out (freshly sharpened) and gingerly sliced my way into the package.

It is little (small) but I think it will work to help me keep me on task

it has stickers that will let me tell myself to do something important!

The best part, it seems to be fountain pen friendly! I will be so organized that I won't be able to stand myself and neither will you. I will be scheduling penpal letters, journal writing and ink changes! Well,...I probably won't, but dang, this is a cool little notebook. Get yourself over to European Paper over in Boulder, Colorado and see what they have to offer. Check out the blog, you might win too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cyclops!

I wrote to Clive Cussler last month. For those who don't know, Clive is a modern writer of adventure fiction. I have been reading his books for years. Check out his stuff at his website Well, this week I received a HANDWRITTEN RESPONSE from the pen of Clive Cussler. How much fun is that? Here ya go!

A handwritten letter and an autograph. I am sorta geeked out by this. I bought and read one of his books just this past week and then donated the read book to our school library. Who have you written to lately?

Settling On A Brand...for now

I've noticed that I enjoy writing on Rhodia paper. I seem to have several versions of their products. So, I post these photos for you.

To heighten the interest in Rhodia products, Stephanie at Rhodia Drive has a huge Rhodia Give-Away going on right now! Enter to win a pack of 3 Rhodia items (technically 4) and discover for yourself how nice this paper really is!

I won

Yesterday I discovered a suspicious brown envelope in the mail. Apparently I entered this over at Rhodia Drive and I won a Rhodia Bloc pad. Rhodia is great paper.

So now I have 70 sheets of creme smooth writing ahead of me. Thanks to Stephanie at Rhodia Drive and Karen at Exaclair USA for providing this awesome prize. I think the notepad has a retail price of around $12.50.
