thoughts of sharpie fun

shared by VJ Rabuy, her sister

Cindy liked pens. I don’t know why she liked them so much. But for as long as I can remember, she just did. I know other blog entries have also mentioned her love of pens.

She liked Sharpie brand permanent makers. Both the fine tip and regular size Sharpies specifically state, "not for letter writing"; but I know she used to write letters with them, at least with the fine tip markers.

I was reminded of this the other day when Cyn Cyn was preparing for her volleyball team’s Senior Night, and her teammates were using Sharpies to write messages to the senior players.

I was at the gym watching her game, and Cyn Cyn had brought a set of multi-colored Sharpies, but was disappointed that she didn’t have more dark colors. I just happened to have some Sharpies of different shades of blue with me, and was able to lend them to her team to use.

Maybe when it says "not for letter writing", they mean for letters on thin, regular paper. Sharpies seem to be okay on cards and cardstock. I recently sent out some Halloween cards; and just for fun, I used my orange and black fine tip Sharpie markers. I was channeling my inner Cindy.
