Steph, I have a guest book from Blurb too and was wondering what kind of pens are you using or liked? A regular ink pen or sharpie type pens? I haven't received my book yet but want to go ahead and get the pens. TIA!

    I got ultra fine sharpies but some people on the DIY board have said these don't work.  Someone suggested something called "photo markers" from Michael's--I'm actually going to go by there tonight and see if I can get them.  I'll try and test them both tonight and let you know.

    Photo markers? Hmmm, didn't even think about that but good to know about the sharpies. I found an antique fountian pen that I really like, I just don't know if it would work and didn't want to order it unless I know pens would work. That would be great if you find out what works the best. Thanks! BTW, I am still dealing with the candy and I bought a bunch at Costco last night and I am worried it won't be enough. Oh well, I have gotten to the point to where if I run out, I run out!

    Ugggh, I got my candy order in and realized how 30 lbs of candy is almost nothing!  So I placed another order and am going to try and get the rest locally.  I realize now I need about 75 lbs.  Which is about right I guess, I was just hoping it would be cheaper.  Live and learn!I'll let you know about the pens.

    Thanks Danielle!  Yeah, I just saw this week people saying the Sharpie's don't work so I'm glad I found out now.

    We used "archival pens" and I got them at Hobby Lobby next to the frames.

    Oh and Steph, I agree, candy is NOT cheap, no matter what you do.
