Bit of an outlay at first, but seems one would more than pay for itself over time, especially when it comes to pricier pencils. Thanks for the idea!<br /><br />Of course, that still leaves me with questions about what to do with the stubbier stubs I would then be left with. I'm thinking filling a glass jar with colored pencil stubs would be highly decorative, so there's that. Or I could glue them one at a time to the wall of my home office, eventually covering a whole wall. I'm sure my landlord would *love* that.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-72116318161671005462010-10-19T07:03:43.770-07:002010-10-19T07:03:43.770-07:00Happy Birthday!

Hadn't noticed. But now I'm wondering why 2 Russians and 3 Saudis visited my blog this week. ;)cmwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10582955125941259290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-78278868544754771062010-10-18T17:22:27.290-07:002010-10-18T17:22:27.290-07:00Check ebay or any of the online art stores (Dick B...Check ebay or any of the online art stores (Dick Blick or Jerry's Artarama) for a "pencil extender". These are a 4" or so wooden or metal sleeze into which one slides a far too stubby pencil in order to eek out a few more days. Of course searching for these starts its own new obsession but at least then one can justify hoarding little pencil stubs.<br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-76189308005129956632010-10-18T07:27:11.041-07:002010-10-18T07:27:11.041-07:00I don't know what I would do with a shorty pen...I don't know what I would do with a shorty pencil. I have so many in the junk drawer that they all seem to be getting shorter together, yet all of them still have some life left in them. Like Jeff, I'd figure that at roughly 3.5 inches I'd have to move on. Since I tend to collect all manner of firewood and small flammable scraps for camping, I might just be prone to tossing the old writing tools into the scrap box for later burning entertainment.<br /><br />Maybe you should become a hoarder of too-short-to-use pencils and have everyone send them to you. Pretty soon you could have a room or so full of them. You'd probably make the news someday if you kept at it. I'm sure that is something you aspire to.<br /><br />Happy birthday.Justinhttp://www.Snohomishwriter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-56472351923745519512010-10-18T06:55:00.188-07:002010-10-18T06:55:00.188-07:00Happy Birthday from Pencil Revolution!Happy Birthday from Pencil Revolution!Johnhttp://www.pencilrevolution.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-16951475777194474262010-10-18T04:52:15.697-07:002010-10-18T04:52:15.697-07:00Elizabeth,
Happy Birthday! May there be many year...Elizabeth,<br /><br />Happy Birthday! May there be many years of Inane Bunnies in your future. BTW, I consider anyone under the age of 40 to be a youngster. I vaguely recall being 34 but it's a distant memory.<br /><br />I haven't worn down any pencils that far yet but I have given it some thought. (There's a bit of Scottish in me as well.)3.5 inches is probably my limit because I have big, thick hands. The stub would be uncomfortable for prolonged writing. I might keep a few in my shooting box to jot down notes on targets. I also have an idea for a still life photo session that would involve writing instruments and worn down pencils would be a part of that.<br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
