It’s tax time! It’s tax time! Okay… so maybe it’s more like: It’s tax time? It’s tax time. Why not make the experience a little bit better with the right supplies! There is a terrific tool out there to help with homework, household lists AND taxes and it’s the X-ACTO Spira Pencil Sharpener!
The Spira is a work of art in addition to being functional! It has a large receptacle to collect the shavings. It is really easy to open also. It has a carbon steel sharpened blade so it’s sure to handle composite and hard wood pencils. The motor is exceptionally quite-no disturbing the napping baby!
Check out my google+ album where I shop for the Spira and check out some of the other fantastic X-ACTO models:
We were all pretty excited to get the shiny new Spira out of the box.
My family loved the Spira the second it was set up on our dining room table! The no-slip feature was wonderful for when my younger kids sharpened their pencils!
You just push a button to release the shavings receptacle. But safety first-there is no way to access the blade when you have the trap door open.

Armed with a cup of coffee, all of our documents, a supply of pencils and a hard working Spira, I am happy to announce that we were able to get our taxes done! The project took over my dining room table for the good part of an afternoon, but it was a success!
And after we are done with our taxes, our new Spira will find a new home on the kitchen counter-easy access for all!

We ended up using our kitchen table to spread all the tax stuff on too!!! Nothing like doing the taxes!!!
Just got our taxes done, too! Yay! Love that sharpener! Super cool. 🙂
You must have posted your links as I was commenting! I was about to close my tab when I decided to look to see if anyone else had posted their links and there was yours! My husband usually does taxes at the table too. I use my desk for my sorting etc.
I think black was the most popular color. I got the red, but all the colors really look great.
I like the black, too! Isn’t it great to be able to say “I’m DONE with my taxes!” 🙂
How awesome that you finished your taxes! I am still waiting for a corrected 1099 🙁
That is one snazzy sharpener! 🙂
