For those of you who have been with me for awhile, you might remember that my favorite type of pen was the old original Paper Mate. I wrote a very sad post about having to use my last one HERE.
As I scrolled back, it has been two years to the date that I hung on dearly to that last Paper Mate. Then to my surprise some of you mailed me more. That tickled me pink and I enjoyed them all. But, I have been without my favorite pen for quite sometime now, and I am here today to tell you . . . I have a New Fav!

It is not a Paper Mate, but a BIC. It is the new Cristal 1.6mm. You’ve got to try it. It writes big, smooth and steady. The ink flows freely! It is the best.
Ah . . . a new fav!
Fun!! It's like getting a new puppy after losing an old canine friend!

You are too funny Alene!!!
Glad to be here again. Thanks for updating with the new Cristal 1.6mm, for I am still using my trusty paper mate. God bless.
Since I write longhand almost everything except blogging :) – I am always looking for the best pen to fit my hand – my weak grip and the ink…it must be steady – not blotchy – easy flowing with out pushing. I'm very picky about my writing instruments too, Arlene. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the cute advertisement. ( did they pay you to say this?:)
