Having gone through thousands of regular and colored pencils that "disappear"
every day, I tried buying the big, fat beginner pencils and put hand held
sharpeners, one on each of 6 tables, in a small container.
Now I lose pencils at half the rate, but the 3 of the sharpeners were stolen
on the first day. I can't get through a day with every eraser either! I
try almost every tip I read, I guess its just my population!
