#nobuy2023 #plannercommunity #pencollection - Jak na to + styl
You need a box that you keep all year for your uses up planner supplies- easier to see what you've used up than counting at the end of the year. And it would give you something to look at for progress.
Yes! I saw someone use a giant pickle jar and she would put dried up pens, and packaging for things that wouldn’t fit in there. It was cool to see
The emtys pen jar
Maybe to have less bulk in your planner you can do some color pen spreads. Valentines Day, St Patrick’s Day, a spring rainbow, Pride rainbow etc. use the color pens only. Or days leading up to the day so you can use the sticker kits.
This is a great idea!
agree 100%... I haven't bought any art/pen/garbage supplies since 2021 and it has been so refreshing! No trips to Michaels, AcMoore.. no online dick blick, jetpens, Amazon... I not only saved a ton of money, but found out I could get buy just fine with a few essential microns and/or cheap Ohto pens. I encourage everyone to do the same... stop buying stuff and use what you already own.
this might be blasphemy in planner world but i've actually become a ball point gal. my fav writing pen these days is the Zebra Blen. now when i feel bad about my massive pen pile, i can rewatch this video and feel less bad 🤣 what i've found helpful in using more of my stash is storing things in clear containers and not in piles or bins that get tucked away - it may not be feasible for ALL of your stuff but its been a game changer for me! i also separate my favs from my hangers on, like the stabilo fine liners and water color pens are across the room but all of my mildliners, brush pens and gel pens are within reach. you've inspired me to just LET GO of the stuff i'm holding onto for the sake of holding onto....
I love the bLen! In Canada they came out with a gel version as well in stores which is okay, but the ballpoint is so so beautiful. 😀
I've fallen down the fountain pen rabbit hole 🙈
I am LIVING for this series, I find it so incredibly soothing and funny as well.
Something that I started doing when I found a pen I loved was bought a box of refills instead of new whole pens. That way I knew I would still have "the pen" but could reuse the body and save a lot of room. Don't get me wrong.. I still have 900000 pens, but going forward if things break or die, that's how I'll be managing my collection 😂😂
I've made a random spin wheel online of themes i could do with the art supplies I have (goal is to use up washitape, stickers and ephemera) and have been using that to come up with my bujo themes :) I plan a lot ahead so I've planned out through may with this method and it worked pretty well!
That's great!
Another great idea!
Much later, but I've been feeling stagnant about planning, but I just set this up after seeing your comment. I did a spread with only washi, and it was so much fun! Thank you!
I’d love to see where you keep them all in your desk/cabinet. I love pens too and have a bunch I need to organize better so I can use them up. I’m on a no buy for planner supplies as well. I loved le pens as a kid but I have messed up hands from rheumatoid arthritis so I dont think I’d be able to grip a pen that small. Thanks for inspiration
New week; new courage and strength for all the things, Cindy.🙏🏾
I think I found someone who has more pens than me. They seem to come out with new ones and as a addict of supplies must buy! I have joined the no buy so I will do as you did in this video and go thru my collection and rediscover some that I have forgot about, Thanks for sharing
I actually just decluttered my office pens (haven't gotten to the fineliners/art pens yet...) this weekend and ended up with a gallon ziplock to be donated to the school and a small trashcan full of dead pens. I recently started working from home and can now use my fountain pens for work so my current favorite is my Pilot Metropolitan in Fine inked with Papier & Plume Bayou Nightfall (a gorgeous dark muted teal). I'm doing a one pen/one ink a week challenge so my favorite may change as I try more combinations over the course of the year!
I also donated a ton of pens, markers, paper, stickers, color pencils and notebooks to a high school library. They were getting ready for Prom and needed supplies. I was in the process of moving from State to State and decided I'd donate a ton of stuff since it would be in storage for a few months and I didn't think some of the supplies would last (they'd probably dry out by the time I purchased and home and got moved in). The staff was very appreciative and they sent me a video of the staff and students thanking me for the donation. Felt so good to help them out. I did keep some favorites but would like to buy some that I gave away because I did use them. In time....
"I have enough jell rollers to choke a chicken" OMG LOL also if you decide to declutter any of these, I found a really good pen recycling options via terracycle
"...what lives in the drawers next to my desk..." I am picturing the pens coming to life when you close the drawer a la 'Sausage Party' - but maybe no so R rated.
Cindy we wanna see all the videos 🤣. I'm also on no spend but I love watching your stashes. Also favorite pen.... Depends on the day. Today was a .35 black Muji day but yesterday I went classic flare in a plum color.
"i don't have an excuse for this" SOOOOO relatable
Holy crap that is a lot of pens! My 10 year old self would die over all those jellyrolls lol.
Probably a weird compliment but your hands look really pretty in this video 😊
Came here to say the same! Love the glove things with the matching nails!
she has the nicest hands! (i dont think there is a finger filter app, lol)
I agree! Hand model comes to mind
Get some pen/pencil grips for the pens that are too small! They def help. You’d prob find bigger ones if you search for OT or disability aids (I got mine from my hand therapist). I’ve also seen someone mash a kneaded eraser around a marker for a makeshift grip, which makes it customizable!
I can have a difficult time deciding what supplies to use with the collection I have..I don’t know if I’d get anything done with yours with all the decision fatigue/overwhelm haha. But great job with working to whittle down your collection!
The 03 Clena is my daily use planner pen, thanks to you., but we could be here all day for my favorites in about 50 different categories. My new favorite multi pen is a Uni Jetstream 4 + 1 because it has A FREAKIN' PENCIL in it.
"Look on my pens, ye mighty, and despair!" - Cindy Guentert-Baldo, probably
Have you done a fine liner thunderdome before? I'd love to see how the le pens hold up against the more common brands like stabilos because some of those colors looked really pretty!
Thanks, Cindy, for being so honest and open about all the stationery stuff you have. I love this series!
Can you tell us about your gloves/sleeves? Love the look. Seems fierce, yet cozy.
I have a ton of pens, too, so it's fun to see yours. My go to is the old school Papermate Flair. I have my favorite colors (the Candy Pop colors plus the hard to find gray) and I'll buy a new package when they're on sale to fish out my favorites. Looking forward to seeing your markers & highlighters, too.
I love the medium ones. I have to import them but they are my babies lol
My fav everyday pen is the Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen. Love the ink, cheap and I need a little resistance in my pen when I write or my handwriting because unreadable. For sketching and inking in I am a Micron girl. I like the Pentel Flairs for Journal headings and setup pages. I am pretty basic and happy about it. I would love a review of those bold Flair pens!
To daily use, the Pentel RSVP is perfect
My guilty pen pleasure is purple and teal ink. I love them for some.reason. probably because it's just something different. Purple ink makes me happy. 🙂
I’m left handed the pens that have really worked for me the best with not smearing all over the paper and my hands have been sharpie pens.
The pens that makes me think of childhood are the RSVP pens! I coveted those and thought they were for rich people 😂
At minute 22:33 a purple'ish le pen goes in to Papermate Flair organizer!
Thank you for doing this. I was looking to make sure somebody else told her so that I’m not repeating information.😂
❤
Literally SAME, we are all here for the same reason, friends. ❤
Haha... This is why I'm here leaving a comment too! I'm such a pen nerd, I'm pretty sure it's the periwinkle color. 🙃
@@TheKatalystical Ha! I watched pretty early to it's release and I was all "red alert, red alert"
Metal barrel energel or paper mate ink joy gel 0.7 (the rubbery grip barrel) are my favorites. I do try to use my pretty pens from a planner subscription box as well.
Ooooooooo. Pens!
I got entergel pen cause of you. I love it!!
Can't wait to see the reviews and pen only weeks
Just a note, you can buy refills for the energels
I heard about Pentel Energel RTX from your videos and I now love this pen! I stocked up on these and even got some refills to reduce waste 😊
my favorite go to pens are the pilot precise V5 in all the colors. I rarely write in black ink.
At the point you pulled out the box of refills, I laughed out loud. I love pens! This is so similar to my stash.
Holy next level pen collection!
I'm loving the Sarasa 0.5 clip when you mentioned that this brand wrote a bit drier. (I'm a Lefty and appreciate your including us in your reviews ) Also the Pentel Slicci in that purple a 0.8 and 0.5. I have a pen and paper and YARN addiction. I've been using the Studio brand gel pen 0.5mm from the Dollar Store for a few years ...has been a cheap fav. I would love to see reviews on your pen stash.
🥲 I thought I was the only one to have a massive pen collection. I'm so glad to see your stash. I feel a wee bit better but the guilt of buying all those pens is still there for me 😮💨
I love my Paper Mate InkJoy gel pens in .7 and have been using them exclusively in my bujo for going on 3 years now.
Love this! I don’t have as many pens as you, not even close. But I went through all of my pens and threw out the dried up ones and ones that I don’t like / don’t use. It feels nice to have room in my pen cup again 😂
I love seeing your collections! I can't wait to see the energel hint of color pen review!
Loved your stash videos! Best of luck on your no spend & especially with your dialysis!
I saw a couple people ask, so not sure if you've already answered this, but would So Love to know where you got your shirt with those fun thumb hole sleeves. Soooo cute!!😍😍😍
Looking forward to your Paper Mate broad pens review!
You left a periwinkle LePen in the box of colorful fineliners! It's about in the middle with just like one fineliners above it.
you don't actually have my favorite pen! it's the pilot dr. grip pen, and it's the only one my arthritic hands can use for more than like 10 minutes without hurting. i love it so much i own the pencil version too.
Yes! I love the dr. grip too! so comfy
Oh the Saga! LOL
Be still my heart.....colored pens❤ Iwillshopmystash Iwillshopmystash Iwillshopmystash......
😍!! Love all the pens😍♥️♥️ but now I need to see how u store them!
Girl are we gonna talk about what you’re wearing tho?!? I need those details lol
I'd like to try an oil-based pen for writing on glossy stickers/post-its. What do you recommend?
I feel better about my stationary situation. It has not gotten that bad yet Cindy.
Love the video. Also- where did you get this cute thumbhole shirt? It's adorbs.
🤓
I LOVE the LePen fine liners! They’re my absolute FAVORITE!
Oh I love the Energel Black with hint of color! Its what Im using for class notes this semester
Hi Cindy! Love this series! Have you considered counting/inventorying what you have? That way you could keep track as you use them up!
That's what these are for :)
I see several rainbow weeks with colored finalizes and washi!
welp lol my favorite pen right now is the sarasa clip black in 0.4. My planner takes to it like absolute butter and the 0.3 is a very close second but i only use that when i need to cram words in somewhere. fav work pen is STILL pentel energel inside of a papermate inkjoy gel body. i know i was over the moon for the papermate inkjoy pen but i literally can’t remember what ink was in it. once i found the pentel refills it was over.
Which pen do you use on the krissyanne designs srickers?? I've been struggling to use the major ones in my stash because nothing seems to stick to it
Currently my favorite pen is the muji 0.5 black. I also primarily use black, but I used to use a lot of colored pens, mostly sharpie pens. I’ve reverted to black (and neutrals) more or muted colors, but I still get tempted by colorful gel pens and buy them on occasion only for them to sit and stare at me :(
Right before Covid when sitting at home with a newborn I went through my pens and kept my 2 favourite ones while giving the rest to my teacher friend. It was a whole box of pens. I only use fountain pens anyways so they were sitting there doing nothing. There were a lot of hotel pens. A lot. I mostly use my twsbi ecos right now with lots of shimmer and sheen inks. It’s been very fun.
Wow, you have a lot of pens. I thought I had a lot of pens. I love the way you have them organized. My favourites are the Pentel energel, micron pigma, Flair and I absolutely love the jelly roll pens. Oh yes, I love the sarasa clip pens as well. And I will definitely watch for some of your pen reviews....I'm looking forward to the markers review! :)
I use Pilot G2s and Papermate Inkjoys and el cheapo Papermate WriteBros pens. I've got so many colors in the G2s and Inkjoys but I do use them, mostly for journaling. I've got G2s that go back to 2016 and still write very well.
I love the monami pens! So underrated!
Le Pens are just gorgeous and give my all kinds of vibes (especially the "Oriental Blue" ones, a former obsession of mine). For now, I love the Monami ballpoint FX 153, along with a black Muji .38 and Energel .5 as needed. Cindy, I'd love to see you review the Energel black with hint of color pens, they look very cool. Thank you!
I love my zebra sarasa multi .5 so I have 1 utensil with 4 pen colors and a pencil. Nicest on my hand, easy refills, and choices!
Not me watching this pen collection video as I stare at my three 3-drawer acrylic organizers that are also very very full of pens and markers and fineliners and highlighters 🤣
I love the Pilot Juice pens so much!
I have a big pen, marker and color pencil collection. I try and separate mine as well. I love the Le Pens too but the barrel is very small and my fingers start to hurt if I'm writing with them for too long; I also use them for drawing. It'd be great to see a video comparison on the paper mate flare fine point. I think I have some around here. I'd have to dig them out. 🤣 My favorite pens to write with in my journal / planner are the Sarasa's and the Uniball Signo RT1. 🙃
I love a chunky gel pen! My go tos are either Uniball Signo Broad UM-153 in black and other colors or Pilot G2 Bold in black. I don't feel like the other colors of the pilot work as well. Both have a 1.0mm tip 😎
Have you used the paper mate flairs on transparent post it notes?
My everyday pen is the Pentel Arts Hybrid Technica in .5 (although I use the .3 and .7 depending on what I need). I use a Micron 05 in Red for some of my accounting work, but the Pentel is what I run through all the time.
Love the energel 07 and my most recent addition a tul for black ink. for colored ink, it's flairs, le pens, and g2s all the way.
Ok, this may be the worst of the stash videos so far (that really is a lot of pens!) but still super fun to watch!! I’ve tried so many different styles but I still go back to a fine point black ballpoint every time 😂
I have so many pens I love. But recently I've found that I'll always go back to my Sarasa Dry in any thickness. Though ... I just got into fountain pens so we'll see if Sarasa can hold on to the top spot!
My current go-tos are the tried and true Pilot G2 (0.5), Mircroperm (0.3), and I have always loved my Faber Castell Pit Artist Pens! I recently tried the Uniball One and I really like it, but my only dislike is I find it skips quite a bit; I use it mostly in my financial planner because I find highlighters don't smudge the ink quite as much!
I can’t pick just one 🤣
But, right now I’m in a HoCo, and so the uni jetstream has been heaven. And I can’t even believe I’m saying that about a non-gel pen 😂
I love all of the pens
I would love all the pen reviews. I do my pens differently than you do yours. I like to use one single pen (not just one type but a single individual pen) until it is dried up and then move on to the next. Don't get me wrong I still buy pens I love in bulk and have refills up the wazoo for the Pentel Energel 0.5 needle tip. As far as colored pens or markers go I always have a pack of flairs going (in each tip size) and another pack I use for coloring or current projects. When I get down to less than a thrid left in the pack I put all the leftovers in my "slop" bin and open a new full pack. My "slop" bin is an aluminum baking pan in the giant loaf size (like maybe 10x5 inches) and is full of pens in colors that I don't use often. But my personal rule is that if a pen in the set I'm using dries out and I NEED another in that color I have to check the "slop" bin thoroughly before I can open a new package. And no, I don't have to order new packages - I have several. I had papermate flairs on subscribe and save through Amazon for awhile. That was either the greatest thing ever or a massive mistake - depending on my mood.
Have you tried using a single solitary pen until it dries up. I go through at least one a week most weeks - sometimes more. Or at least run dry the refill. It is a fun challenge and makes me feel like I've accmpished something when I can throw a pen away because it's empty - even if all I've really done is make out my grocery list. (Kind of like when you write something on your list that's already complete just for the fun of crossing it off!)
I hope your dialysis is going well and you are feeling better physical or at the very list more confident mentally. You are in my thoughts and prayers! And I have loved these collection videos - for some reason they are very soothing!!
Fav pens hard call. I have a Dr. Grip multipen which is a space saver. I am usually using a Uniball Vision Elite.
My current favorite are the zebra sarasa clips. It may change in a month or two but don't worry, I bought a bunch of them for now 😆
I love the EnerGel RTX - discovered it via a server at a restaurant. I did add a little finger bump thingy to thicken the barrel a bit though. Just got the teal/turquoise blue version for Christmas because it's my color. I also had to laugh because the washi video - I thought, ok that's quite a bit but I can see how that's addictive. Stickers? No interest in for me but WOW THAT'S A LOT. Pens? What, that seems like a perfectly normal amount and totally understandable and wait what was the name of that one ... oooo, and that one so I can try that...
I do a lot of vinyl kits so I use primarily taotree permanent marker ultra fine point. That being said I have a ton of sharpies, papermate multi colors in flair and jelly rolls that I color with.
I see all your colored pens and I'm itching to organize them in rainbow color!!!🤣🤣
Can we talk about the oil-based ink pens? I am in need of some! Sharpies bleed through too much, any other options??
Yes, you probably do own all the pens that I own because basically you own all the pens!!! Amazing collection!
I can't wait to see your Marker collection, that's my weak spot, lol. I've always wanted to try the Monami pens for the same nostalgic reason... might have to grab some, but I really don't NEED them, ya know?
This makes me feel better about my own collection, although I am jealous of all of the different brands
My favourites would the medium tip flair, sharpie pen and bold flair.
Right now my favorite is the Pentel RTX. Although I love pens in general. Just be glad you didn't get on the fountain pen train!
PLEASE REVIEW THE PENS YOU HAVENT ALREADY REVIEWD! I miss your review videos, so funny.
In terms of writing,I'll stick to the Staedler pigment liners. I gravitate towards the 0.2 and 0.3 ones a lot. I tried the Sakura Micron, and while I loved the sharper black, for some reason the lot I got either dried out really fast, or got damaged during shipping somehow and leaked all over the packaging.
Pigma micron flex: I own every size from 003 to 12, but have exactly ONE of each. If I need a replacement they have all sizes in open stock at my local art store.
you should do a video where you swatch all of your pens, markers, washi etc. This will help you get rid of some of the older ones and so you remember what you liked.
i think i have about the same amount of coloured pens..and i'm sad enough to have packages of coloured gel pens that have not been opened... and i mean packages and packages of them... i gravitate towards Sharpie pens, clena and inkjoy gels
My favorite pen is the Energel Clena.
My current pen of choice is uniball Signo 207 and 207 Bold (when I need a fatter line).
I had some Signo RTs and my husband claimed them (so I got the 207 to keep our pens distinct) and now he can't find his and claims I stole them. 🙄
Do they ever dry out/up before you get to them? that causes me the most guilt when it happens to me! I try to stay on top of it, but well, you know.....
💜💜
14:34 Those energel with black are my absolute favorite pens right now and I can’t find them anywhere except overpriced on eBay (where I’m not sure they are real)😢 Try sketching with them then take a water brush to them 😍 it’s ✨magic✨
I’ve found a Uni pen that’s *close* to these but still not the same. I might actually cry when my last ones run out, but hey I’m dramatic 😅
Can you do an office/ studio tour?
