Last-minute present: DIY Pretty Pencils

Ask anyone who knows my love of office supplies, and they'll tell you about the best gift my husband ever gave me: the red Swingline stapler that Milton pines for in the movie Office Space. Talk about love.

So you can probably figure out that I love nothing more than getting Post-Its, pens and doodads from Staples in my Christmas stocking. Some highlights from the last couple of years:

One thing I would love to get in my stocking this year? Some gorgeous DIY Pretty Pencils made from the tutorial at Omiyage.ca. They're just simple dollar-store pencils dressed up with Japanese washi paper and Mod Podge. Nothing could be simpler!
