» And Away We Go! Biffybeans is the new Rhodia Driver

And so here I am, pleased as punch to be driving for the orange team. Ever since I was a child, I loved all things connected to paper- writing, drawing, doodling, and to this day, I can still spend hours in a stationary or art store just breathing in the creative goodness.

Some of you may know me from my blog, Spiritual Evolution of the Bean – a project that I started with the intention of sharing my ever growing collection of product reviews. They were scattered all over Flickr and various other discussion forums, and I thought that a blog would be a good way to put them all into one easily accessible space.

Others may know me from The Fountain Pen Network because I have a special fondness for writing with a fountain pen. Their ease of use, combined with good quality writing paper is a pure writer’s bliss.

For those of you meeting me for the first time I wave a hearty “Hellllloooooo!” and I invite you to take off your shoes and stay a while. In the future, we want you to become as much a part of Rhodia as the products. We invite reader submissions of Rhodia product reviews, as well as photos of how your use your Rhodia and where they take you.  We will be inviting you to submit your feedback and also make suggestions on what kinds of Rhodia products you would like to see in the future. Oh, and contests!  I can’t forget to mention the contests! We will be giving away all sorts of goodies this year including the New Rhodia Webnotebooks, limited edition Paul Smith notebooks, and the new Rhodia Weekly Planners.

Be sure to stay tuned -
Stephanie

Very cool, congrats!! ;-)

This is FANTASTIC news! For those of you not yet familiar with our beloved Bean, Stephanie gives reviews from actual use. She writes in the products, she paints, she sketches, she bends the covers back, she writes on her knee – in short, she gives the products a full workout. You’ll get a fair and unbiased review, because she’s not afraid to tell the companies what they need to change and WHY.

Congrats to Stephanie and especially to Rhodia/Exaclair. You have gotten one to the BEST reviewers on the net. Whenever I am thinking of new inks to get, the first place that I go is to BiffyBeans to see ‘what Stephanie has said about it”. I know that she will do a GREAT job in talking about the great Exaclair product line, and hopefully will spread its goodness around the world.

What a perfect pairing. Great to see the melding of marvelous minds!

I’ve been following biffybeans.com for several months now. Stephanie does fantasic reviews of pens, inks, and paper. I look forward to reading more here on Rhodia Drive.

As an aside, I absolutely LOVE my Quo Vadis Septanote academic planner. I picked it up at my school bookstore and have been carting it around with me every since! Fabulous design and great fountain pen friendly paper.

Keep up the great work! I’ll be watching. LOL

Congratulations Stephanie!

Welcome, and I can’t wait to see what you’ve got planned for us. Of course, I use Rhodia every day, and I can’t wait for the 2010 planner.

Congratulations, Stephanie! You are perfect for the job.

COngratulations, Stephanie! Now I got more scheduled reading as I look forward to your reviews here. I’m happy for you! :) Cheers!

Congrats! I love reading your blog and reviews on FPN!

Definitely congratulations! I’ve been reading your blog and love your drawings and reviews.

Much thanks to you, dear readers. I greatly appreciate your kind words and well wishes. See you all soon!

Congrates, Stephanie. What a catch for all us Rhodia Fans. I believe you will be a great driver!
