A stash of Marbig Notebooks from Australia
I’m not sure how many of you are aware, but Australia Day is coming up on January 26th, and I just so happen to have been given some cool office supplies from the folks at Marbig who is actually an Australian office supplies company. I thought this would be the perfect time to review them to help celebrate the holiday with our Australian friends.

The O'BONanza Series A5 Notebook with SUgar Cane Paper
This environmentally friendly notebook was sent to me by O’BON a little while ago, and I’ve been a little slow in getting around to reviewing it. The unique thing about it is that the paper in it is made from sugar cane pulp which is also known as Bagasse. This green notebook can be found at the O’BON site here, along with many other green office supplies from them.

My original writing sample from the first Uniball Signo 207 review
Recently I had a comment on my first Uniball Signo 207 review regarding the drying time for this ink on different papers. When I went back and looked at the review, I realized that I never did any kind of test to see how quickly these pens dry. So Luis, here is an update to take a look at the Signo 207 on some different paper.

Kokuyo Work Support Notebook with Elastic Pen Holder Cover
The Kokuyo Work Support Notebook with Elastic Pen Holder looked like a pretty unique notebook when I first saw it on the shelf at Maido. Plenty of notebooks have an elastic strap to hold a pen for you, but usually on the edge somewhere….since this one has the strap built into the cover I figured Id buy it for myself and give it a try.

The Black n' Red Ruled & Perforated Notebook
On my many trips to Staples for office supplies, Ive always seen the Black n’ Red brand notebooks, but I never really thought much of them so I always passed them up for something else. On my last trip to Staples, I finally broke down and decided to pick one up, so I went with the Polypropylene Wirebound Notebook that was $4.99.

The fun and bright design of the Carolina Pad Hot Chocolate collection.
I recently received some great office supplies to review from Carolina Pad, including some samples from their Sasquatch line, and now this review will focus on their Hot Chocolate line. As you can see from the first photo, the Hot Chocolate line from Carolina Pad is full of bright colors and energetic designs. The items they sent from this line are the notebooks, a ballpoint pen, and the notebook bookmarks.

The Carolina Pad Sasquatch Line. Recycled content and environmentally friendly.
April over at Carolina Pad (@carolinapad on Twitter) was kind enough to give me a stack of new office supplies for review, so this is the first bunch that Ill be reviewing. All of the products in this review are part of the Carolina Pad Sasquatch line, which are environmentally friendly. Carolina Pad also has a fun website to go with the Sasquatch brand that includes environmental tips, links, interactive games, and blogs. In addition to being based in the US (Charlotte, NC) they also do great work through their “Commerce with a Conscience” program that helps out teachers who work in low-income schools, and their partnership to donate a portion of the sales one of their lines to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The Pistachio Recycled Monogram Notebook
During my recent trip to DC, I stopped in a Barnes & Noble to escape the awful heat, and I came across a great little notebook that I had not seen in any of the usual office supply stores to review. I was hesitant to buy it because I was skeptical of buying a brand that I never saw before, but I am glad I picked it up, it was the Pistachio Recycled Monogram Notebook.

The Whitelines A4 graph paper notebook
The Whitelines brand of notebooks offer a unique design that I have not seen with other notebooks or stationery in general. The paper itself has a very soft gray color to it, and the lines are actually pure white, so it is basically the opposite of any white paper that you may have seen that has gray lines. There are a lot of other unique things about this paper, so let me get into today’s new office supply review and explain. Read More→
Clairefontaine Wirebound Notebook Review

The Clairefontaine wirebound notebook.
Back when I got my free samples of J. Herbin Ink from Karen over at the Quo Vadis Blog, she also sent me over two very nice notebooks. One of them was this Clairefontaine wirebound one subject, 90 page notebook. This was my first time using the Clairefontaine paper, and I was very pleased with its performance.
You can usually find these notebooks for about $5.00 – $6.00 at your favorite stationary stores such as The Daily Planner. The notebook measures in at 4 3/4″ by 6 3/4″ and has 90 sheets of 24lb., pH neutral, extra white vellum paper. The sample I have here is black, but they come in various color combinations.
