If you saw the video I made on what watercolor pencils work best for me, I had purchased a small set of Derwent Inktense pencils and six loose Inktense pencils from Dick Blick.  I only tried a couple of them out to know that I didn’t like them and called Dick Blick and asked if I could return them.  Of course, no problem, because they don’t want anyone to have products they aren’t happy with. Great, now all I have to do is find them in my crazy cluttered mess of a craft room.  All of my haul purchases keep piling up and there’s no room in the inn.  I have tried to organize things so the surfaces are at least clean, but still no pencils.  Where could they be?  I’m very obsessive when it comes to locating anything I purchase.  I almost always have a fairly good idea of where I put things.  This time, I have absolutely no idea.  Of course we need to keep in mind how many things I dropped on the floor that are now in a box (courtesy of a friend who felt sorry for my mess.)  At the time, I forgot to ask her if she saw the pencils so it’s too late now to ask. Additionally, the last time I saw them was before my surgery so it’s been at least two  weeks.  I’m fixated on them now.  I can’t let it go.  In my head I keep hearing that children’s song, “Where oh where did my little dog go,” so there’s a good chance I’m losing my mind over pencils.

Now I’m the ribbon hoarder with a crazy song going through my head over them.  I need to let it go.  Or not.
