I am working on getting Charlie ready for school this year. I have been working on a list of items for our classroom. As well as I list of things, I will need for myself to make our school year smoother. As I was working on the supply list, I let David know I wanted to get me Paper Mate 300RT Effortless Glide Ballpoint for myself.

Everyone who knows me knows I love pens and that if I could, I would buy everyone I find. David has been trying to keep me out of stores and away from the Back-to-School Sales. That’s fine with me because what David doesn’t know is I was chosen to conduct a review for Paper Mate and Shoplet. They sent me a variety of items we can use in our school. The thoughts in the report are all mine and my families.

This morning I would like to share the items Shoplet sent me so I can put them up before Charlie or David sees them and ask if they can have some of them. Because even though my mom always told me to share when it comes to pens, I do not like sharing.

Paper Mate Triangular No.2 Mechanical Pencils Kit isn’t something we usually use in our classroom. I like the sharp old-fashioned pencils we have to sharpen. As they last longer than the ones that use lead. When these Paper Mate Triangular No.2 Mechanical Pencils Kit arrived, I couldn’t wait to try them out as I wanted to see if the point in them breaks as quickly as the ink in other mechanical pencils I have used.

I opened up Paper Mate Triangular No.2 Mechanical Pencils Kit, and I fell in love with the size. They are fatter than most mechanical pencils and more comfortable for me to hold. I wanted to use them and see how well they wrote, and I liked how smooth they were. And that when I erase it does it thoroughly.

I also like knowing Paper Mate Mates Easy-to-hold Mechanical Pencils is refillable as this will save us money. We will not have to keep purchasing more pencils. I have had to do in the past.

David was walking around the house this morning before leaving for work I saw him looking for something. I asked David what he was looking for and he said he needed a pen for work. With today being Davids Birthday I showed him my new pens from Paper Mate 300RT Effortless Glide Ballpoint Pen and asked if he would like to use one at work.

And he said yes and took my black one. But that is OK as I prefer blue link and liked the light blue one, but Charlie saw he is giving David the black one and asked for the light blue one is fine as I was able to keep the dark blue for myself.

When I wasn’t looking, Charlie came and borrowed my red and orange one as well. Then he asked if he could give the orange one to his sister Leslie. I said no, no, no, it is all mine. Now Charlie wants to purchase him and Leslie a pack, and that is fine as they can both use them in school.

Charlie used the Paper Mate 300RT Effortless Glide Ballpoint Pen to write out his spelling words, and they didn’t smear. The colors popped on the paper. So, he also used them to draw a couple of p pictures out for his notebook, and they worked out as well as the colored pencils or crayons we usually use.  I can’t wait to purchase more Paper Mate 300RT Effortless Glide Ballpoint Pen not only for my family but to give as gifts.

I would like to share another item I was sent from Shoplet and Papermate to review and it was a set of Sharpie Ultra Fine Electro Pop Marker, and this is funny as the past week and a half Charlie obsessed with Sharpies. He has been begging to go and pick some up from the store. Even though I know, I should have some in my office.

Once I saw Sharpie Ultra Fine Electro Pop Marker I knew I would have to hide them as both Charlie and David would want to take them and not give them back. As the sharpies, all come in our favorite colors. Before I showed them to Charlie or David, I hide the pink and purple one so I could keep them for myself.

Charlie asked me, just what I knew he would, for the orange and blue Sharpie so he could draw a picture. David wanted to see if he would be able to have the Dark Blue if he shared it with Charlie. At first, Charlie didn’t want to share it with David but when I showed Charlie the Turquoise one, he said it was okay for David to take the darker colored Sharpie.

These Sharpie Electro Pop Permanent Markers made with extra excellent ink that both Charlie and David wanted to try out. I liked knowing they are water resistant and fast drying. There is one thing you need to know they are a limited edition set so if you would like a set of them, you but hurry and pick them up before they run out.

I had to hide the part of the package that says they mark on almost any surface because with Charlie, I could see him trying them out to see if this would be true. If you have children, you might want to keep the package out of their hands.

The last item we received was Liquid Paper DryLine Grip Correction Tape. When I was in school, I always had a bottle of Liquid Paper with me. Since then, I stopped using it, even though I knew it would make things easier when working. So, I keep throwing papers away I mess up.  Now I will be able to keep the documents Charlie, or I mess up on as I can use the Paper Mate Liquid Paper DryLine Grip Correction Tape to correct our mistakes and save us time as we will not have to start our papers over.

As you get ready to do your “back to school” shopping make sure you check out Shoplet and all the Office Supplies they have to offer us. And don’t forget you get to shop online which saves you time.

I love knowing I can also purchase cleaning supplies we need to get the school room ready for next year. That I don’t have to get dressed to go shopping. I can keep working once we order all the items we need.

As you put together you back to school shopping list together, don’t forget you will also need Medical Supplies or an Emergency Kit when you or the children get hurt. Which we all know will happen.

Don’t forget you will also need office furniture and you can find it here. As I need a new desk chair and a desk and if I find one, I will put it on my Christmas Wish List and see if David gets it for me for Christmas.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
