It is a pencil my best friend, Jimmy (also my crush), lent me the day we met. I was really mean to him that day, the reason I don't know, and I kept the pencil. I rarely ever use it, but mostly on a test. When I do use it though, I always come out with the nicest things to write about.Geelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502941973370186985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-29085682255910775302011-12-12T19:00:34.518-05:002011-12-12T19:00:34.518-05:00I am definitely a Dixon Ticonderoga #2 pencil and ...I am definitely a Dixon Ticonderoga #2 pencil and Pink Pearl eraser kind of girl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-33393223868633603232011-12-12T19:00:11.961-05:002011-12-12T19:00:11.961-05:00Cate's Folly: You can find a dozen for about $...Cate's Folly: You can find a dozen for about $20 total.Sharon Creechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297551991159941966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-19251547205577481162011-12-12T18:37:12.213-05:002011-12-12T18:37:12.213-05:00OMG they still make Blackwing pencils?

The last Christmas she was alive she gave me a box of them (she had given me many boxes of them for Christmas since I was a child) and I hung onto the last two from that box, now nineteen years later. I looked once on ebay several years ago and a single Blackwing was selling for $75. They must have re-issued them?

I don't have a favorite pencil, except that it must have a fun, colorful, bold design! Since Thanksgiving I've been writing with my Christmas-themed pencils. :)Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-65396066306490704882011-12-03T13:06:38.401-05:002011-12-03T13:06:38.401-05:00posse: I love those V5's, too.posse: I love those V5's, too.Sharon Creechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297551991159941966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-13322989357263829972011-12-03T12:40:01.295-05:002011-12-03T12:40:01.295-05:00i prefer pens and my favorite is a pilot V5 extra ...i prefer pens and my favorite is a pilot V5 extra fine in blue. if i used pencils, i'd probably end up erasing most of what i had written.possehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147097673732572305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-9238272606813935492011-12-03T12:26:19.265-05:002011-12-03T12:26:19.265-05:00I ordered these from pencils.com.I ordered these from pencils.com.Sharon Creechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297551991159941966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-25335649688477447702011-12-03T11:45:41.102-05:002011-12-03T11:45:41.102-05:00I will have when you tell me how I can get my own ...I will have when you tell me how I can get my own Blackwing. :-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00652954536843347233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-47006899928114079982011-12-03T10:50:28.241-05:002011-12-03T10:50:28.241-05:00mr. brattcat shares this passion with you. i'l...mr. brattcat shares this passion with you. i'll use whatever comes to hand and am often chastised for scribbling away with an impossibly dull pencil. i do love the idea of writing with a 'blackwing'...brattcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382428477056833533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-89008270709330644132011-12-03T07:10:53.810-05:002011-12-03T07:10:53.810-05:00I like soft lead, so you can see what you have wri...I like soft lead, so you can see what you have written or drawn.
