I organize a ton of fundraising for our local school through our PTO and we found this magical pencil!  It's 100% recycled pencils made from recycled newspaper with a hint of a magical scent!  These pencils are the standard size number 2 with regular lead and can simply be sharpened just as a regular pencil.  As you sharpen your pencil you can actually see the recycled newspaper in layers by the point.  The kids truly get a kick out of trying to read the newspaper through their pencils!  "Smencils" are saving one tree at a time by the process and have added a scented kicker - they are available in over 50 different scents such as bubble gum, grape, cherry and peppermint.  Each smencil is encased in a plastic tube  which is also made from 100% biodegradeable plastic.  They are available 50 to a bucket and the suggested retail price is a buck a pencil.  The profit is good, the kids absolutely love them just as much as the teachers!  Smencils also make great birthday goodie bag gifts, great for further donations through your Church, Girl Scout Troop or even local Nursing Home.  I found that the seniors work on many crossword puzzles and sodoku!  Smencils not only are great for the environment but are opening the eyes of kids on how to recycle just about anything!  Visit www.smencils.com or www.ezfund.com to learn more about these fabulous pencils as well as the profit margins for your local charity! 

Angie's philosophy is simple: take on projects that are affordable and easily achievable. Look for inspiration in magazines and make the projects your own. Hers are real projects for real people and they don't require you to have a background in art. Test
