Over on Facebook ComposeCreate, I’ve been talking about my obsession with office supplies. It turns out that many of you share my love of browsing at the local office supply store for fun!
Well, I was super excited and surprised to learn of a new product: the Sharpie Liquid Pencil! Ever since it was drilled into me to complete my theory assignments in pencil, I’ve always had a pencil handy. Though I knew a liquid pencil would be a novelty I had to have, I had a hard time imagining why I would want a pencil that becomes permanent after 24 hours. My husband bought a package at Office Max for me and I love it! Here’s why:
The pencil writes as smoothly as a ball point pen.- No more breaking leads!
- The package comes with a number of replacement erasers
- I can finally write my Thank You notes in pencil since it will dry in 24 hours. For some reason, I never have a pen in my purse and eversharp pencils are a must for a composer. So, now I don’t even have to worry about having a pen handy.
- The “lead” is 0.5 mm, #2 lead equivalent
My students always think my endless supply of eversharps are pretty cool since the 0.5 mm lead makes them think it’s a pen. They’ll be fascinated with this one too!
Do you have a new “office supply find?” As a fellow OS Junkie, I’d love to hear about it!

Ooooh! I’ll have to try out this one!
