Treasure Find and Review- Crayola Take Note Pens

 

Whoo Hoo we have a Dollar Tree find!

I personally LOVE Dollar Tree especially when I find those Bonus treasures. 
This trip was one of those treasure finds, we found Crayola Take Note Felt-Tip Pens, No JOKE.  These items you can expect to pay up to $6 for a 4pk on Amazon or Walmart, but for just 3 dollars you can snag 6 of them at Dollar Tree. The picture above shows you the 3 packs that we found and the colors as well. 
 
Felt tip pens are one of my favorites for journaling and adding to my sketches. These pens are absolutely fabulous they don't clog up with ink and go on smoothly. Second of all they dry quickly, so you are not having ink smear on your hands or across your books.
Below is a sample of  writing done with these pens.  


There is one negative thing with these pens that I have discovered. 
They do bleed....Take it from experience if this bothers you this pen may not be for you.
Below is an example that has been taken from my journal/planner/lesson keeper whatever you want to call it......... 
 

As you can see in the first picture, the itemed circled is the ghosting or bleed through (which looks like a skull,  my daughter outlined for you). This ghosting is from the bears' face in the picture on the right, He was outlined  with a dark blue felt tip pen. There is no smears on him and has a very distinct outline around him from the this pen. 

 Felt Tip Pens are they way to go in my opinion though it is always better when you find what you love for only a Dollar.  Hopefully your treasure hunt to your Local Dollar Tree will be as rewarding as mine was.
