A few weeks ago I was at a small town parade and one float was passing out pencils. Nothing fancy...just simple pencils that need to be sharpened and had pictures of balloons all over them. It was such a small gift but I was really pleased and sharpened and began using my pencil within a day or two. This pencil also reminded me of how exciting it was when I was a child and my mother would put small gifts into my school lunch such as pencils, stickers, erasers, etc.
This week I noticed all the back to school sales and picked up a package of pencils. Each will get a note for the finder and hopefully they will bring smiles whether they are added to a child's lunchbox, used with a sketch pad or simply to make grocery lists in the kitchen.
