Default Got my prismacolor pencils. Now what?

Ok....um 120 pencils to sharpen!!! I know I have read on here before how some people were having problems with theirs breaking. Any advice you would like to pass along about making this process a little easier?

I had no trouble at all sharpening my pencils, but some people that did suggested placing them in the freezer for a bit to kinda toughen them up a bit before sharpening them. Do you have the color chart that coordinates the stampin up colors? Those are the only ones I have sharpened so far . . . I wish I remember who originally posted the chart, it was a SCS gal!

I have always used an electric sharpener for them, they do seem to break if I do it by hand. I may try the freezer technique.
