Whoa. More superb mailbox goodies! Honestly, I think I get most excited about assembling these posts more than any other posts... First up, I received mail from two overseas pals! I wasn't expecting either so I was thrilled to find them both in my mailbox!

The day I received these two letters was also the day I was expecting my
JetPens parcel - after waiting an extra day for July 4th. Some of you already know of my "fiasco" with the parcel box where I was given the wrong key so I couldn't get my parcel out! I contemplated using a crowbar to open the box and then feigning innocence but I was informed this is a federal offence (thanks MJ hehe). Alas, I was patient and my box was hand delivered to me the next day by the very thoughtful postal worker. He was forgiven.
Today I received my shipment of inks from
Organics Studio. If you haven't heard of them yet, do check out their
website, like them on
Facebook, and/or follow them on
Twitter! They are a new, small company making inks - "Organinks" - I love that! I was one of the lucky people who got the large sized limited bottles - they are hand numbered! I like limited edition and special things like that (What? A sucker? Yeah maybe). In my emails with Tyler of
Organics Studio, I was trying to pick three ink colors when he suggested that he could make a custom colour for me. WHAAAAT? Obviously I couldn't pass up this chance, so I sent him my blog's banner and asked if he could try to make a pink to match it. I was thinking this would take a few months but like, a week and a half later, this parcel shows up.

| I even received a sample of Neon ink which is totally awesome and I wish I had ordered it as well. I also ordered the Mercury red, Uranium green, and Gourmet is my custom pink! |
Now, please bear in mind the picture I took is terrible, and I used a very wet dip pen so everything looks very dark, but with what I have tried already, I am absolutely thrilled with these inks. Seriously. I have never ever had a custom ink before - and it's called
Gourmet. It doesn't get better than this.
Organics Studio may be my new hero. I love these colors madly.

| AWESOME. Isn't this awesome? |
 |
| Deep pink! |
 |
| Ok my camera totally does not represent these colors accurately but I will be reviewing these so don't worry, I'll have proper color representation. I just wanted you to get the general idea and I wanted you to know how excited I am! I can't remember the last time I got this excited about ink!! (Well... that's a lie. But I'm really excited anyway). |
Last but not least, these Derwent pencils are not actually from my mailbox. They were purchased at Michael's using those awesome 50% off one item coupons. I am excited to try them out. Remember, I have zero artistic skills so don't expect much. I just thought I'd share them because they're fun to look at, aren't they? All new and pretty!
