Archive for A Million Pens
Today I went to my PO box and found not one but 5 packages filled with recycled pens from all over the place. In fact since my last post I have gotten a ton more pens and I have been to busy to post. So a BIG HUGE thanks goes to:
For making my Friday and inspiring to write yet again:)

Bic Promo Pens is great source for promotional, advertising, and logo pens which guarantee the lowest prices online. I think getting personalized pens are a smart marketing solution and a great way to advertise and promote your business. I will definitely get the word out this summer about Collecting One Million Pens as I head out in the Mercedes Pens Art Car covered in 10,000 pens handing my new BIC PENS
Thanks Tej:)

I got an email from Tisha Bell who started collecting pens when she was in middle school one summer. Her goal is to also collect a million pens from around the world so her friend set up a web sit for her to get the word out. She asked me for advise on were to get used pens and I told her to ask thrift stores. She ended up getting about 300 pens from St. Vincent De Paul in Ellensburg.
In 2006, she displayed her pens at the puyallup fair where she received a peoples choice award and hopes to go back this year with even more.

And speaking of pen donations for the million pen project, these used pens just came in from some faithful pen guy fans. Three envelopes with used pens were sent from San Diego, Detroit and the UK. The San Diego one came with two Pilot g2 pens and the one from the UK came in a bag because the envelope burst open and had to be re-wrapped, but it got here OK. The third envelope came over from the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI, so thank you and hope things warm up for you guys soon.
I have to give kudos to Angelika Unverhau from Dinslaken (Germany) who has managed to collect more than 220,000 ball-point pens (excluding duplicates) from 146 countries. She has been collecting pens since childhood, but in 1990 decided to take her hobby more seriously and go for the world record. She meets twice with other pen collectors through her ball-point club and trade pens with each other, fun. She currently holds the Guinness World Record
