Woohoo! Ten cent notebooks and so, so many pens. It’s rolling up to back to school time in the States.

I hate to say it (because I’m an Australian now, and national pride), but Australia has nothing on the United States when it comes to back to school shopping.

I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same, but I always loved cruising around, stocking up on ten cent notebooks and folders. Ah, all those pencils and pens. Markers and crayons.

Yes, I have a stationery addiction, and I might need help…

BUT, even with the bargains, you might like to put a personal touch to your supplies list and make your own notepad.
