| Has eveyone been using the parchment from Group for the Scribe Shop or does regular paper work? Due to budget constraints I was going to pass on the parchment, but my Scribe shopkeeper spoke to someone else who did it and was told to get the parchment, because regular paper won't soak up the ink. Any alternatives?

| I bought parchment (ivory) colored card stock from a craft store - the cheapest they had, and it worked great. This was a very popular shop. I was concerned about not being big enough sheets to roll nicely into a scroll, but it worked very well.Lots of kids made a new scroll every day. I would definitely recommend the stylus's though. They worked very well.

| We just tested out our scribe activity today. We used regular paper and found it to be perfectly compatible with the ink. We also created an easy cheap alternative stylus. Just take a regular plastic straw and cut the end off to form a point. You will have to keep refilling it, but it worked fine when we tried it.

| My teenage daughter wrote with the stylus and ink on a roll of plain white easel paper (much cheaper than parchment, but not as cool looking) and it worked perfectly. It looked so good she actually ended up making the scroll for Paul's letters and will use the rest of the paper in the scribe's shop. The stylus and ink are very messy though--you'll definitely need wipes available. The styluses are really fun to use, so don't skip those. If you end up using straws instead, you'll need to poke a tiny hole just above the point to hold the ink. If you look at a stylus you'll see it has one, too.
