Abstract: A writing pad and holder with a writing pad consisting of a uniform stack of paper sheets, a semi-permanent adhesive backing strip, a pad holding member, a permanent double sided adhesive strip. Each paper sheet has a semi-permanent adhesive backing strip centrally attached to its rear surface. The writing pad fits in a depression in the pad holding member. The pad holding member has a cut out portion allowing the user to access the edge of each paper sheet. The paper sheet has an optional visual indicating feature that helps the user know the proper orientation of the pad in relationship to the cut out portion of the pad holder. The semi-permanent adhesive backing strip is fixed in a perpendicular orientation with respect to the cut out portion of the rigid pad holding member. The pad holder is attached to a tape measure housing with the permanent double adhesive strip.
