Fabulous Friday: Sharpie Ultra Fine Point Markers

It’s that time again—Fabulous Friday!

This week's fabulousness comes from Sharpie Ultra Fine Point permanent markers. Despite the obvious lack of hyphens in the product name (which drives this self-proclaimed Punctuation Policewoman absolutely mad), these markers really are fabulous.

An orange one was included in the office supplies that graced my desk my first day at Hobby Lobby. I immediately fell in love and recently made a trip to Target specifically to buy a pack of them so I would have several of these wonderful markers to use at home.

I’m a little weird with pens. If a pen just doesn’t feel right, if my pen and I don’t have an instant connection, I’ll search high and low for The One. A great pen just puts me in the mood to write, and I find myself looking for excuses to write. More on that in an upcoming post. Get excited.
 
These markers
write so fluidly and precisely and make my handwriting look neat even when it’s not. The only downside is that they bleed through to the next page a bit, but I suppose that’s to be expected when you use a permanent marker to take notes during meetings, make grocery lists, and write journal entries.

The pack I bought has red, blue, green, and black markers. I now want the 80s Glam set. But they cost a bit more than I want to pay for markers that I use as pens—$16. My birthday is coming up, though. Just sayin’…



Please ignore the glaringly unnecessary apostrophe in “80’s.” It has been brought to the Punctuation Police's attention, and a strongly worded letter will be sent to Sharpie straightaway…written with a Sharpie Ultra Fine Point marker, of course.
