I always buy stamp, glued and sending it at the post office in the same time.
So, i dont know if the person who selling it have the virus or not.
Then the same person at my post office will received and put the cancellation stamp manually.
i just trying to protect myself and the staff at the post office.
Off course postcrossing is wonderful and safe and my joy during this pandemic
Watercolor brush (not for stamps, since ours are self-adhesive)
Whiteout pen
Colored pencil
Mechanical pencil (with extra lead)
Small ruler
Bulldog clips
The watercolor set doesn’t fit in the pencil case, but I often bring it along if I’m going on longer trips
…and there should be some tape in there too, but I recently ran out.
Like you, I’m also enjoying snooping on everyone’s stuff! I’m thinking of starting a couple other similar threads this weekend — maybe for people to show their workspace?
We have the same watercolor case! And those scissors seem rather odd to use… Do they work ok? And tell us more about your best eraser ever! Is it the white and black “pen-like” thing?
That’s a great idea @meiadeleite! Workspaces would be super interesting. And maybe also people’s tools and media? e.g. I have a lot of paper scraps and cut-out images that are waiting to find a space on a collage postcard.
Here’s a better picture of my eraser pen. It’s made in Japan by Tombow, and it is just a super effective and precise pencil eraser.
And no, the scissors aren’t great for precision work, but they are ok, and can be “folded” to become perfectly cylindrical so they fit much better in the pencil case.
I have a pencil “basket” which contains way too much (see photo). Many pens, pencils, markers, correction pen, glue stick, ruler, scissors, precision knife, letter opener, and notepad!
Thanks for this tip! I bought a water brush pen after reading your comment, and now it’s turning out to be so useful for sealing holiday greeting card envelopes.
I actually hardly ever use pencil case now. Because i just found it is more convenient to write with ipad pro 2020 and apple pencil 2. But i used this pencil bag when i was in high school.There was a mechanical pencil, some pens, an eraser, a ruler and a correction tape.
Well, since I’m a student at an art school, I have several pencil cases. Most of them are filled with pencils and color pencils, fineliners or markers. But there are also some I simply use for theory classes, like languages or history of art. There is one I usually carry with me when I’m going somewhere. This one contains a pencil, an eraser, a red marker, a highlighter, a ballpoint pen, a few basic pens, multiple fineliners, a washi and a few markers I use for caligraphy/typography… But I don’t look inside my pencil cases often lately, because I’m not going anywhere during the pandemy… And you’ve probably heard of the situation in Czechia. So I just use the pens, pencils, etc in my pencil holders.
I don’t really use pencil cases that much, but here are some of my pens that are in visible places in my crafting room. I have more in the desk drawers too.

I love this thread and looking at what’s inside your cases! thank you for sharing the watercolor brush tip… will definitely be on the lookout for one now
here’s what’s inside mine! I love this case because it stands hassle-free!
Watermelon case has only InkJoy Ballpoints.
Surfboard case has Pilot G-2 Gel Pens, but I use those for letters & cards as they smear.
I enjoy this hobby so much!
