Great Coloring Pens

I am always looking for more coloring pens. I have found that I really like the neon, fluorescent, metallic and glitter colors the best.  The pastels are ok but the classics just seem eh, ok, the dark classics are great as background to make the others pop even more, or as a shadow kind of effect that makes something stand out, but otherwise I tend to skip them. The white I rarely if ever use because you cannot tell you used it most of the time.

Pros:

• Glitter pens do not clog
• Mixture of medium and almost fine point (.8mm-1.0mm)
• So many choices, sometimes you can color a page and not use the same color twice
• Only gel pens I have bought, so far that have a beige/flesh tone and a brown color
• Rarely, if ever, except near end of ink, did I have any problems with ink flow

Cons:

• Some of the caps just did not want to stay on the pens

Overall:  Great pens for coloring, scrapbooking, sketching, or just writing. I will buy again. I was greatly impressed with them.

Great coloring pencils, love the case

I purchased 48 natural wood colored pencils for my son and I to use. We both liked the tub case. Just wish it was a little sturdier. He keeps it in the outside side pocket of his backpack and is hard on everything inside. He has already caved in the top of the case and asked me to find another tube carrying case.

Pros:

• Pastel/light colors
• Much better quality than those we normally purchase for school
• Very comfortable to use
•  Have not broken when sharpening, unlike others I have tried
• Easy to sharpen to a point
• Hexagon shape of the pencils makes a natural easy grip

Cons:

• Really pale colors
• No names of colors on pencils

Overall:       I love the shade and have been told by an artistic friend that these pencils will darken if you wet the tips, which if I can get them back from my son I will try. Love the case, others have come in boxes and always tear, which other than the top of the lid caving in some this is perfect.

UV flashlight

I purchased this UV flashlight to find areas we might have missed when cleaning up after the dogs.

Wall after cleaning

Hardwood floor

Pros: 

•  Shows things that you cannot see

Cons:

• Lots of false negatives, at least in my opinion
• Clean water and cleanser is splashed on wall, it will show a false positive

Overall: 

I have used several different solutions to remove dog urine. I believe it has lots of false negatives because after using baking soda & vinegar to clean the carpets I still see the same spots showing up but now they are bigger. I have also bought Bissell carpet cleaner pet solution with oxy additive and had the same results. I do not know if this is normal or if it is proving that none of the cleansers actually work.
