Sharpies are my writing implement of choice. I thought it was brilliant when they came out with the retractable Sharpies. I also like the Mini Sharpies.

I use the Ultrafine Sharpies for writing my day to day notes. I remember standing in the middle of Wegmans with the Ultrafine Sharpie cap in my mouth scratching out "egg noodles" wishing they made them retractable too.

A few weeks later I am watching TV and there is the pen I dreamed of being hawked by David Beckham. A Retractable Ultrafine!

But guess what? I went to Sharpie's website to check them out and found something even better. PERSONALIZED SHARPIES! How cool is that?

Here are a few I made. Dreamy.

  6. I thought I was alone in my sharpie obsession. I have the colourful array of sharpie mini's. People at work think I'm crazy but I just feel like adding colour to my workplace. I do however wish they were the fine tip kind but then again those ones always dry out on me.
    Visions of retractable mini are spinning through my head... that would be heavenly.

  15. lucky - I totally stumbled upon these!

    Veronica - finding the name of the paint is going to take some searching. I can tell you that the brand is Sherwin Williams and they can match the color of just about anything.

    Nicole - I use Adobe Illustrator to create my characters and then I combine them with photos in Adobe Photoshop. I design my characters from scratch, there isn't a program for creating them.
