After having found the perfect pencil sharpener (see a pic of it on the right hand side of this page), I am in search of the perfect stapler! None of them seem to work on everything every time! Here is my offer: If you comment about a stapler you really love, you will be entered in the wonderful giveaway below!
As Greg has already explained…he is at home with the FLEP (LOL) as he likes to call it, and I have either taken a cold on top of just getting over the flu, or I have a case of strep cookin! Blech! In any event, we both decided to make some lemonade out this lemon of a day, so we created two adorable
packs “Gangnam Style”! Who DOESN’T love that song! My little girls are wild about it, and I just couldn’t pass up the chance to create a Writer’s Workshop/Writing Center pack for February with the super cute clip art from Pink Cat Studio. I can’t wait to print it and see them in action! I know they will be dancing with those cute little characters on their hats!
Greg has created the cutest pack for measuring with the same clip art! Here are both packs! Be sure to leave a comment and direct me to a GREAT stapler, then go over to Kindergarten Smorgasboard for another chance to win! We will be using rafflecopter.com to determine the winners at 10:00 p.m.
tonight! Good luck!!!
Here is the great Measurement Pack from Greg!
Hi Maggie! I have this stapler – http://www.staples.com/Staples-One-Touch-CX-3-Compact-Flat-Stack-Stapler-Light-Blue/product_916853 and it works well. Still, I would not let my fristies within ten feet. Nope. Not a chance.
Feel better soon!

Thank you Catherine! You are entered in the giveaway. I'll check that one out. We have an Office Depot pretty close by. š
I use a panasonic electric stapler. I hate anything else as none ever work.

I bought mine at Wal Mart and it's lasted almost 3 years now. I'm not sure what brand it is though. š I like it better that the Swinglines because it's really light weight and makes it easy to carry and do bulletin boards. I'm short and have to jump to get staples in sometimes. š
Hope you feel better! I had the "flep" over Christmas break! Yuck!!!!

I bought an inexpensive black one at Target my first year teaching, which was 7 years ago and it still works perfect for me. I only use it on papers and bulletin boards, but it definitely does the job. I also love that I am getting more than my monies worth of use out of it!

The PaperPro stapler is my favorite! It is not good for stapling things to boards but it is FANTASTIC for stapling pages.
Thanks ladies! You are in the running! š
I am a post-it note junkie…big ones, little ones, ginormous ones, and even lined ones!
JUNIOR STAPLE GUN TACKERALL CHROME is a great stapler for wall displays. Hope this helps.

Don't know about stapler's, but my new pencil sharpener is giving me trouble. They came so highly recommended that I ordered 3. Two work fine but one stopped working after the third day. I just won't cut into the pencil. Is it operator error? Have you had any problems with yours? I guess I might need to return it.
I took the cutting cylinder out and mine had a piece of a pencil wedged in it. After I took that out, it was fine again. So far, I love it!
Have you tried PaperPro staplers?

I bought one for my friend, but hers is not reliable. The staple cartridge pops open sometimes. š
I am still looking for the perfect stapler. nothing is dependable. I will check back to see what you end up with & how it works. dbednarsk@yahoo.com
I am very particular about my stuff. My stapler is a swingline compact ultima.
I have had it at least 6 years, maybe more. Works GREAT!!
Thanks for the giveaway

Okay so I started with a swingline…after a while, not such a big fan! So now I am using a Paperpro stapler and I am liking it! I will stick with this one! I am trouble with finding a reliable pencil sharpener. Let me know.
I have several of these…http://www.amazon.com/PaperPro-Miniature-Stapler-Capacity-Translucent/dp/B0013C7YDK/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1358481223&sr=8-30&keywords=stapler and love them.
