And One More Thing...

A couple weeks ago, I was looking for something that would hold my color pencils that I use when journaling (a habit forced encouraged by a dear friend of mine back in May.) Did I tell you about this already? If you've heard it before, just stop me. Anyway, I reluctantly began journaling and it was like drudgery! But after about a week, I decided it wasn't too bad, and now I can't stay away from it. I went from a nearly empty page each day to one filled with text, quotations I like, Scripture I love, and little things I like to draw. No, I'm not an artist, but really, the more I do this the easier it seems to become. And almost as addictive as eating pistachios while watching a movie!

So back to the point of all this: I tried carrying my color pencils in a Tupperware box. Ugh. Then I found a nice pencils box here in the house (one of those things I didn't purge - see?), but then went on Amazon to see if I could find a briefcase or something that would be handy to carry with me. I looked at cases with handles, but I already carry a large canvas bag and it would be one more thing!

Then I saw this colorful holder with spaces for 72 color pencils. It rolls up and easily fits into my canvas bag along with my journal, my wallet, and my little English red phone box tin of mints - so it's easy to carry with me. I ordered it. This is one reason Amazon loves me. Although I don't get birthday greetings from them like I do from Google.

 See? All wrapped up

Here's the Amazon link in case anyone's interested:

 I love the fabric too. A nice canvas-type fabric with a print I like.
It came with two long black cords for tying it up after you've rolled up the canvas.
You've got to be kidding me! That is SO much work and such a nuisance!  So I cut the cords off and got two large ponytailers that I can quickly slip onto the roll.
Perfect!

You can see by my journal entry above, that I didn't seem to know what day it was before I started.  Good grief!
