Good looking pencil! I like the colors and the kit too. Where did you get the kit? I have a son and daughter too and have made them a couple pens each. My son is 20 and lives away and when I gave him his pen he was blown away and told me he wanted me to keep it for him because he was afraid he might lose it. My daughter works for hospice and uses her pens every day! I've been blessed with two great children!
