Stationery, Stationery, Stationery...


Well, as my friends know, I have a bit of a thing for stationery - it even gripes me when the word is spelt with an "a" instead of "e" - E for Envelope - easy isn't it.

One of the most exciting days of my life was when I visited Officeworks and I noticed they had shopping trolleys - now that is my sort of shop. As a child I have fond memories of visiting Norman Bros and just browsing all the pencils, pens, diaries, notebooks and imaging how I could possibly use all these things.

Well now my daughter is starting prep next year, and joy of joys we needed to by stationery, just to exciting. And then the labels to put on the stationery, ok Christmas has certainly arrived for me today.

I've just spent a very enjoyable morning labelling her pencils, pencils, oil pastels, excercise books, scrap books, rulers, pencil sharpener, glue sticks and scissors - I'm in heaven...Ruth also has the cutest writing book - so want to have a play.

But how do I label her erasers - do I take the plastic off? Yes, I'm a little weird, I also like things pristine...

I understand your stationery love. i still enjoy labeling Amelia's stationery. Rory still gets stuff that the school doles out. Amelia gets hers out to admire all the time. Her favorite store is Smiggle.

oh I am soooo with you on the stationery thing :) Ive always loved newsagents. With the eraser thing, I take them out of the wrapper and write their name in pen on the rubber... there isnt much else you can do with those things :)
