I ordered 2 boxes of the newly released seconds color pencils because curiosity was killing me!! I received 16 different colors in the mix, some colors were very sparse and i saw only one or two. I was hoping for some scented or highlighter pencils but there were none. I saw many “Stranger Things” and “Color Pop -Demon hunter (?)” themed ones. I was able to make 2 sets of each using a couple from other themes and using some unnamed colors. I also found some Beatles (wish there were more), Gilmore Girls and Schitt’x Creek. After sorting them out I ended up with half a box of copper!!! The color payoff is good (student grade). Core is thick and soft so they do tend to break. Shipping was steep, around $14! Now I am not sure what to do with them all!! I am not an artist by any means😆!!

These pencils are neat! They come in a tin box comprising of 9 pencils, a sharpenable eraser with a brush tip, a sharpener and a pencil cap. As expected, writes smooth as butter. Very comparable to the green Tombow 2Bs. I bought them from Amazon India during my recent trip. All for INR 125 (around $1.3 USD). My only regret is that I didn’t buy more. Such as easy and universal gift.

My uncle passed away last week and I feel so devastated. He loved us unconditionally. I miss him so much. He had been intermittently sick the past year but I did not expect him to leave so soon. I feel guilty that I was not there for him. There are so many memories and he was such a genuine person. I love him more than I love my parents. I didn’t get to say goodbye. I want to connect with him so bad just to tell him how much I love him and how lucky I was to be loved by him. Does he have any message for me? Is he okay? Please tell him that I love him very much.

Stumbled across some Dove cream and had to buy them.

So this is my final haul from the conference. I have a good assortment of pens stickers and more pad. Science stickers are hard to find and I am so happy I could grab some!

My childhood erasers from India. There was a company called Mr Clean which made recall cool erasers.

Picked up these stickers and a pin at a conference!

Bought the earlier versions of Plus Mt Fujj erasers. Only the orange one is made in Japan. Pink, light pink and yellows are made in China. The dimensions are identical and all of them have the arch sleeve. Does anyone have the yellow, pink or light pink version that’s made in Japan or were these exclusively manufactured in China?
