Did you know that ink pens should be stored vertically, cap down? The reason being that over time the ink inside the barrel thickens and dries up from the outside in. You’ll get more usage from your pens by not letting them lay horizontally on table tops, desks and counters. Every once in while it’s a good idea to take them out and give them a good shake so the ink doesn’t have time to dry up. Specialty markers, fabric pens, paint pens and scrapbooking pens, etc last twice as long when they are stored properly.
Pencil cups are pretty cool. I’m using an old Glade candle jar. What are you using?

I keep mine in a plastic pencil cup on a shelf here on my desk. The other day I went into the bathroom and realized I had gobs of ink all over my face. Apparently an ink pen had leaked into the pencil cup and when I used my highlighter earlier, it had transferred to my hands. Every time I scratched my nose or pushed my hair from my forehead I left ink on my face.
It wasn’t pretty.
