    I wrote better with the stink mouse than I did with my stylus and phone or with actual pen and paper...guess that's what happens when you're forced to take your time ROFL!

    Well---shoot! Seems there is more to using this pen than I can figure out. Guess I will have to hit YouTube and hope they have a video on this.

    I've got an old one from when I had a basic desktop pc, but it doesn't work with my wider screen laptop - can't cope with the different screen size. I've never got round to replacing it.

    Ours is super old too - like from 2009 or so, but it was a larger one at the time and it still works great. Unfortunately, my husband has it hooked up to his computer and he does Graphic Design, so he needs it more than I want it, KWIM? LOL

    So, I'm saving for a Bamboo!

    I'll be using my Apple Magic Trackpad. I love it for everything else. Let's see how well I can handwrite with it . . .

    OH MY!! Can I say----creating this was a BLAST!!! Ten years of digi scrapping and I never would have dreamed of creating my own word art using my own hand writing!!! I re-did the words "I", "perfect", "life", "happy" and the last "life". Thank you for making me climb outside my box!!!

    By the time I got all the handwriting done, I was tired, so I didn't put a lot into decorating of the page. I like the idea of using my own handwriting. I think I'd like it better just for one word though.

    p.s. In honor of this muse, I changed my siggy a little, handwriting my name. :D

    Well, this was very challenging. I'm not crazy about my handwriting, but it was fun to try this and I learned to stoke my writing. YEAH!
