My daughters both love school supplies! They love notebooks and pens and pencils and binders. I try to stock up on school supplies when they are on clearance so we always have a few extras on hand. The problem is that they don’t love just any school supplies. They are totally into school supplies that are pretty, fun, and hip. In other words, they’re into Studio C school supplies by Carolina Pad. I don’t blame them. I feel the same way (although my obsession isn’t all school supplies…just binders).
The girls wanted to start shopping for school supplies in June, however, I told them to hold off to see what school supplies were going on sale. To say that they were thrilled when I received a box of goodies from Carolina Pad would be an understatement! We received a 1-subject notebook, an 18 month planner, a 3 pack of 2 pocket folders, a 1″ binder, a composition book, an Ideal Book (a medium size notebook which includes a CD envelope in it), pens, and pencils! There were a few arguments over who got what, but we were able to quickly squelch the arguments with a trip to Wal-Mart! They had tons of Studio C products by Carolina Pad and the prices were terrific! My daughters liked them so much they even offered to pay for their own school supplies! That’s a pretty big deal! Most Junior High and High School girls don’t want to spend their hard earned money on school supplies!

My daughter would LOVE the Peace Out collection. She is so into peace signs, which I totally don’t get. However, I’m sure it’s not the last thing I won’t get.
