December 2023: I love to share my journey of writing with fountain pens and inks here on this You Tube channel. I make regular videos each month about what I'm writing with and I update mid month with a progress report on how each pen/nib and ink is doing. Also, I'm likely to review anything I get really excited about that relates to the fountain pen hobby. I'm in my 7th year of making You Tube videos and I enjoy connecting with other fountain pen people + talking about books, cats and fixing an old house. My husband and I are retired and this venture here on You Tube is one of my hobbies - it brings me a lot of joy. In the beginning, I reviewed a lot of inks but that became something I didn't enjoy the repetition of after a few years. However, I still really enjoy talking about how a specific ink does for me in a specific pen/nib. Thank you for joining me. I keep ads on the channel to help me fund my postage for pen pal writing, and to pay for other hobby supplies!

Hi pen friends! My friend Julie is starting a cool adventure over on her You Tube channel and I wanted to share this in case you're interested in following along! Julie inspired me so very much back in my Periscope days and she continues to inspire me now on Instagram ... so I was very excited to see her posting more on You Tube. I have done a lot of fun and enriching writing along with Julie (and her amazing prompts) over the years ... she is a such a talented writer, poet and creative! I know many of you are looking for positive, creative adventures these days so I wanted to share with you!

Hi pen friends ... I just got an update about my Benu Pixie fountain pen and it looks like it will likely be mid-March arrival. It may be my last fountain pen for awhile (for this year at least) ... I pre-ordered it quite a few weeks ago. But, whenever it gets here it will be fun to explore!!!! I'll keep you posted!

I noticed a trend in the comments recently ... many people have mentioned struggling with journaling. Today, I remembered a You Tuber @CarrieWalker I have watched over the years who has really inspired me. She's very young and newly married so look back on some of her earlier journaling content. I feel inspired to share her channel because she's just so positive and inspiring: youtube.com/@CarrieWalker

Hi Pen Friends! New video coming very soon! I had a set back (coughing/respiratory issues flared up) on Jan. 2nd and so I've "lost" about a week ... but I'm happy to say I do feel much better once again NOW. I'm starting to respond to comments today. And, while not feeling well I still enjoyed receiving an item for review (rare for me) which I'm ready to shoot the video soon (possibly today but no guarantees)... all my notes and preps are complete to show you something I'm quite excited about!!! Today, I have an appointment which should help quite a bit get me back on track even more. Thank you for being so patient and I will get around to comments soon + resume posting videos!!!! I was surprised to see so many comments and as you know, I enjoy our "conversations" so much. Take care and be well + I'll "see" you soon! ~Chris~

Ugh. I'm sick with some sort of cold. Rare for me! I'm going to be delayed with today's video recap of day 9-16 of the Colorvent inks. I'll "see" you soon with it hopefully. The spirit is willing but not my voice or achy body! 😷👩⚕️✒️🐾🐈⬛️❄️📺

Just for fun, I found and playlisted each of the 7 You Tube Anniversary/Celebration videos I've made! I'm not sure if this will work to share it in the Community Tab but I'm giving it a whirl! Also, today's video is my 7th Anniversary video ... I started this channel on Sept. 7th, 2017 with my video about organizing fountain pens with cigar boxes!
Thank you all for the massive amount of support, watching, liking, subscribing, commenting, and all the generous contributions you've made to me and this You Tube channel over the past 7 years! I intend to stick around and continue to share about fountain pen hobby related things, cats, books and life in general. Thanks for sticking around with me!!!!!! ~Chris~

In today's video - I show you the Fountain Pen Inventory and Tracking (3x5" card file box) System I'm now using! I love it so much more than my spreadsheet!!! It's like my own personal little library card file & in the long run it will show me which pens get all the love!!!✒️❤️📚😜
