    Sandy, I’m a huge fan and grateful customer. And I’m thoroughly enjoying these types of posts. Thank you! I do have a quick question – your link/post for DOUBLE COLORED PENCIL SHARPENING FOR A SUPERFINE POINT seems to have disappeared. I tried searching for it on your site to no avail. Is it available anywhere?

    Thank you again for all your sharing and generosity!
