A great new package of "fashion color" Sharpies and I knew I must make time to try them in my journal. I just love a BRAND NEW Sharpie; loaded with ink and ready to roll. And the colors can't be beat.
I remember when I was five or six years old, playing at my grandmother's BIG desk. She always had a supply of Sharpies in the drawer...ONLY black, that's all there was back then. Grandma had a fabulous, flowing, gorgeous handwriting and she'd write letters with a black Sharpie (not the ultra-fine, mind you, but the traditional.) She might only fit ten or twelve lines on one sheet of paper; but what style!
Sharpie, you've come a long way. Thanks for the memories and the fun yet to come.

This is such inspiring journalling, Nancy! I love the way you've used the pens and integrated images and paint. I think I might challenge myself to start a summer journal. Surely I can stick with it that long! Thanks for sharing yours!

Reminds me of when I would get a brand new package of markers when I was a kid - fun stuff ! Are you drawing over watercolors ? I have had trouble with Sharpies on acrylics, even if they are very dry. Do you know if the new ones are the same formula !
Love your doodle play!
i love these pages! sharpies are the best i use oodles of them with kids i teach and if i ever write a note it is with a black reg. sharpie!
Sharpies are so freeing! I love how you have taken doodles to the next level. These were so much fun to look over, thanks for sharing!
Nancy, thanks for sharing, these came out great, you tease. I suppose I can spring for $12.99 at BJ's. I just have so much stuff!
