I need your help - PLEASE. Last night before I went to bed, I was trying to think of the name of something and couldn't come up with it. I begged Justin to get out of bed to Google it for me, but he wouldn't. So I'm counting on you (because I Googled it and came up short).
Ok, remember those pens that write either silver or gold? I used one to write on my graduation envelopes. Now they have gel pens that you can use, but the name of the pen that I'm looking for was the kind you used to have to shake before you wrote with it. It also smelled like paint and was a huge mess. Ohmygosh this is driving me crazy! My brain keeps saying over and over 'highlighter' but I obviously know that's not it. BUT - what is it?
So other than this, I've just been non stop busy. I don't enjoy non stop busy. At the salon I'm going from client to client which is wonderful for my bank account, but a tad bit stressful. (When I say a tad bit I mean THREE KING huge. That was very funny, BTW Heidijowhatdoyouknow.)
Now, people, PLEASE help me out before I go completely crazy. Do it for your friend. Please!
I've always called them metallic pens...
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you very much. Since you said 'highlighter' I can't get that out of my head. It's your own fault I can't help you. ;o)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking metallic pen too....also a Caligraphy pen....they write the fancy letters but were messy.
ReplyDeleteare you unsatisfied with the new gel version? doesn't it give the 'high' while you write with it like the old ones? :0)
ReplyDeleteso glad that we amuse you over here at heidijowhatdoyouknow...consider our holiday gift to you.
good luck.
Oh man....did they actually have a name? They were the kind that you had to kind of push down on so that the tip would go up into the pen to get wet with ink before you could use it. (Remember, you'd have to have an extra piece of paper with all kinds of blobs on in because the tip would dry out once in a while and you'd have to push it down again?)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried looking in the craft department? For some reason I seem to think that's where they keep those... I'm not done thinking about this - thanks for the new obsession!!

ReplyDeleteYes, we're all thinking of the same thing - but what's the name? I think it must be a brand that I'm thinking of. For some reason H stands out. Does it start with an H?
ReplyDeleteFor reals y'all - you've gotta help me.
=)
I think they were called Outliner pens. I found them here:
