Adding/Including Memories
I lost my dad last year (2023) and have been finding ways to include keepsakes/memories in my workstation. I've dabbled here and there with doing small woodworking projects and attempted a wrist rest from a piece of oak I picked up with him from my great uncles wood shop. I milled it to fit a 60% keyboard as I hadn't decided what keyboard I would be using it on and thought that's where most of my wrist would be in contact even typing on a full keyboard. I gave it a torched/burn appearance as I really was lost in what to do. I found an old shell casing from going hunting with my dad in my hunting pack and decided to imbed it into the end of the wrist rest so it would just have a little difference and a small story behind it as well. I have other things around my workstation from family and friends, but it just feels a little more special having worked on it and adding something small that has a memory for me to it.

Although they seem to kill you on shipping. Sadly I'm not convinced that the savings here are worth having to buy 6 pads. I'll also freely admit that I'd be a lot more interested if there were blank or dot pads.
I can definitely look into a drop for those standard Orange and Black notepads with Blank or Dot Grid paper, thanks for the suggestion.
The Ice was produced for Rhodia's 80th Anniversary as a special edition and is currently available in Blank or Ruled only. Here's a link to the product line associated with this drop: http://rhodiapads.com/collections_classic_ice.shtml
EDIT: I'd also add that in large towns and cities (at least those with art stores), lined and graphed Rhodia pads are relatively available, and for me the savings (esp considering shipping etc), aren't really worth it (I'd like to support Masdrop's raison d'être, but it does have to make a bit of sense). Dot and blank pads however are MUCH harder to come by, so buying 6 is something I'm much more likely to consider.

Feedback like this helps to create drops that will appeal to the most members, which can be difficult with an item like this that's offered in a number of sizes, colors, and paper types.
Sometimes we're able to offer many options within a single drop, and sometimes the only way that we're able to offer the best price is by reducing the number of variables.
Keep watching the site for more styles of Rhodia products if this drop goes well, and thanks again for participating.
