I think that would qualify as paper so you'd still be in.
Maybe... I am going to pick up the planner for sure, no maybe about it. I've used the same one for several years now, and it's been a tremendous item in helping me get and stay organized. I'll let the general consensus decide if it knocks me out or not. lol
Still in! But that bluish shimmery Herbin ink was a temptation for awhile...
Still in, but that may change on the 24th when nanami paper reopen 
Well gents, after 8 and a half months, I must say.......
I'm Out
I received a "Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy" book for my birthday last month and have been eyeing off some dip pens since.
Broke down recently and ordered them
Received the following today;
I also have 2 speedball oblique nib holders arriving next week.
At least I didn't go out with a single item I suppose
Am happy to have lasted as long as I had, perhaps I will have more luck next year......

Well Andy, that is quite a run. I'm officially calling myself out as well. The new job showed me a need for some new notebooks (there's no office supplies cabinet here), so I ordered my planner notebook for next year, several spiral bound ones for general desk use and training notes, and a meeting notebook to cover the weekly meeting thing we do here. I envy you that you got to drop out on a fun hobby materials aspect. lol
Thought paper was ok to stay in?
Dustin, looks like that is all work related purchases, so it would be exempt for the sabbatical, yes?
Well, no exceptions were made in the rules for work items, the 2016 daily planner wasn't a work item, I just didn't want to risk them running out like they did a couple years ago before I got mine, and I did add on at least one notebook for work that wile it is for work, it was a bit of a splurge purchase (notebook designed just to take meetings notes in). So in the end, I can't justify calling myself still in with a clean conscience.

Fair enough, that has always been my guide too.
Still, over 8 months is pretty good, in my book

Let's all work on the rules together.
1. No fountain pens or ink.
From there??

Dude, im still in, but so looking forward to jan1st. Been on this sabbatical thing for 2 years for shaving and this year for nibbing...that's enough for me.
I would suggest some within reason allowance for work related notebooks, if one is supplying their own items. lol
Hi,
I am still in for the home version. I tripped across this 'pen' yall can buy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281772958161?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Well, if it relists, that is.
Oddest razor. Ever.

I will try a Nib sabbatical next year, I think.
As for shaving sabbatical, I am down to the point now where I could be on perpetual sabbatical if I planned things appropriately.
