But if you like any of the colors for scrapbooking or...

I found the most ingeneous picture paper for art projects.  It's actually 4 x 6 photo paper for inkjet printers with removable backs and 2 lines of adhesive to make it a post-it note.  This is by 3M, the makers of post-it notes, and which I found browsing the clearance rack of Office Max one day.  I always carry my phone with me which has a camera that I use to take snap...

Don't tell my husband, but I found a pocket calendar book in Target, that I like better than the one he gave me as a stocking stuffer. It's got a pink leatherette checkbook type cover, and it's a lot more feminine than the other one. (And you know me...I'm a girly girl!)  It is a 2 year calendar from January 2009 through December 2010 (just like the one he gave me.)It has a...

I don’t know why I like to collect fancy papers like these. Maybe because they are cute, I don’t know. These papers I’m going to review are ones of my favorite. I bought them one day when I was hanging around at a stationery store, thought they were cute and decided to buy them to be added into my fancy papers collection. These papers are made by Kuniku. And a set of this cont...

We seem to go through so much paper in our printer! I buy the Georgia Pacific copy paper at Walmart. I get the pack of 500 sheets of 8.5" by 11" paper. I also tend to get the "Soft White" color that has a brightness of 88.  There is whiter paper made by this same company, but it is more expensive, and this paper is good enough for what we need it for. This paper has a n...

I bought these pastel-colored self-stick notes by Z-International Incorporated from Walmart when I was last there. I go through a lot of sticky notes, writing reminders and jotting down little things.I saw that they were $3 cheaper than the ones by Post-It Brand. I like to cut costs where I can, especially with comparable products. I find that these work just as well as Post-Its. I ha...

For all you office people this is a great little stapler. I use this everyday, all day long. It is adverstised at one finger touch and it really is. I had the old fashion metal stapler and my wrist was getting so sore by the end of the day. I found this at our local office supply and decided to try it. I wouldn't go back for anything. It not only is great for your wrist it staples 20 sheets...

We take a lot of pictures of the machines we build where I work. My job often is to take these pictures off the computer and print them to send to potential customers who want to see what our machines look like. We have tried many different photo papers and have finally found the perfect one. This JetPrint Photo paper is fantastic. I use the 4 x 6 sheet which I like because I am not wasting...

How many of us are familiar with those small, adhesive round stickers which are put on filler paper when the holes split and the papers fall out? My two teenage sons were tired of having their school papers constantly tearing and falling out of their binders. I doscovered this reinforced filler paper in Staples and bought quite a few packages of it. We are all much happier nowas the papers neve...

I developed a true appreciation for this product when I helped my 7 year old son with a school project this weekend. Ghostline posterboard is just like traditional posterboard in ever way except it had lines already drawn on it to make projects fast and easy. I purchased ours in a pack of 3 but I think many stores sell them as single sheets as well. They run a bit more money than plain white po...

For several years now, I have bought (in addition to my large kitchen calendar) a small pocket planner. This has been a great solution for me. It keeps me organized with appointments, social engagements, special events, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. My plan is to always post the appointment in my calendar planner, and then transfer it to my kitchen calendar. This prevents d...

I got several of the Leveret notebooks. I am a writer so I have to take down notes during interviews and this notebook is a handy companion. It measures 4.25 x 7.5 inches so it fits snugly in any of my bags. It is not too heavy to carry either.And I like the fact that it is spring-bound for easy flipping through the pages and I can easily tear out a page if I need, too. The covers are made of h...

Walking around Wal-mart, I ended up in the school supplies/office supplies section. I realized I needed a new composition book(as well as everything else already overloading my cart) and decided to look for a non-expensive cute one. I ended up finding one perfect for the occasion. I was trying out for America's Got Talent and wanted a record of my journey. Although my experience only lasted...
