I managed to save all my mail and Amazon packages for an entire week, to open in one big opening adventure. I get so excited getting mail, that I usually have it open before I get to my front door. There was a lot of craft supplies and pens.
I love watching YouTube videos of people opening their mail. This time I put myself on YouTube opening my own mail. It was a little awkward, but I enjoyed doing it. I’ll post the video below.
This pen set came.
It looked really cool, but I managed to break the tip within the first hour of using it.
I can’t fault the pen for this, I was tapping it on the bottom of the water jar, and I knew I could break it.
The bottles were super messy.
I got ink all over both hands. I STILL have ink stained hands, several hours later. I managed to try every ink before I broke the pen. I also sampled the ink with a dip quill to compare it with the glass pen.
I liked the quill better. In defense of the glass pen, I was probably using it wrong and didn’t have a chance to get the learning curve down. I think I had too much ink on it and most of the smearing in the photo below, is due to me being a left handed side writer. I found the ink bled a lot with the glass pen and not so much with the extra fine nib on the quill. I do believe these inks aren’t the greatest quality, but they did have their charm.
The shimmer in the blue ink was incredible. The others have some shimmer to them as well, but it’s not showing up in the photo. The bottle design could should be different. The ink pooled inside the lids. If you’re going to get a glass pen be very careful with it. Apparently, glass is breakable 😀

OMG that’s so cool you did a video! I HATE the sound of my speaking voice, but yours is so sweet and cheerful! I didn’t know you were left handed though! The glass pen is really pretty, but too bad it wasn’t stronger (yeah, glass is breakable, lol). Have fun with all the pens and colors! (oh, and your ring is beautiful!)

I love watching people open their mail. I figured I’d try too. I wont likely be replacing the pen, I liked the quill so much better. Thank you for the ring compliment. He picked that one out by himself. He did so good!

I feel like we’re all so critical off ourselves. I bet your voice is beautiful. I never liked my voice when I was younger and then one day I did. I think it’s more to do with us being hard on ourselves.
