it's no secret that i love letterforms. and i love creating letterforms. and i love love collecting all kinds of pens to create letterforms. but i was starting to have a love/hate thing with how i was storing them.....all thrown in a box......making it really frustrating to find the size i was looking for! and then during a recent trip to my favorite stamp store, i discovered my answer......
meet the "color cubbie"! it was designed to hold all of your copic markers (hard to believe that's the one collection i don't have!), but all of my microns, white gel pens, sharpies, g-tecs, and pitt pens are as happy as a value-pack-bag-of-fun-size-candy-bars-at-halloween......and i'm loving how easy it is to find what i'm looking for!! you can read more about it here!!
hope your weekend is filled with lots of creative goodness!!!

Love these cubbies! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing! :)
Mini-cubbies...how cute! Looking at your organized collection, I feel like I should get my stuff in order as well...perhaps over the weekend, I hope.
Hey, Lori I'll trade you a .1 micron for a .05???? Hahaha....This my dear is so UNBELIEVABLY cool!! You are now in heaven al beit!! I should do something like that as well....I'm the frustrated lady with all her pens in a box, spending way too much time finding the right pen!! Yeah YOU!!
This is wonderful...Ive never seen this before. Its perfect that it is slanted so the pens don't fall out. YAY for you. I am going to check the link.
What a great way to display your most precious pens. Much better than being in a box. You have so many that it looks like a store display!
What a smart way to store your pens, and most of those probably should be stored laying down, right? You've got some collection there! :-)
oooh! I love your pen cubby Lori. Sure is a little classier than the old dishwasher untensil caddies I use!! :)
Whooo! You are so organised! I have cubby envy!
At first I thought those were IKEA bookshelves....the ones I have in my studio. Lol. Have a great weekend!
That's a really great idea! I love how it doesn't take much counter or table space but keeps the markers horizontal. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Organization (and at a decent price). Can't go wrong there! Great find. Thanks for sharing. I'm off to see what else they have.
silly me.
says right there.
it's their first & only product.
well it's a good start!
Wow! It looks like the pens are having a fun-filled pajama party!!!!
Was there any fighting for the top bunk bed? ;-)
You always find the neatest stuff, Lori!
Thanks for the insppiration, as always!
xoxo :-)
Great tip, Lori! Thanks.
Uhoh...I love cubbies and already looking around to see where I can put these. Thanks for sharing..can you send yours filled with pens? :)
Well done Ms. Lori! Perfect idea for all your pens. Gave me an idea for my bedside table to keep my grandson's little fingers out of my things!
Thanks!
oohh that is PERFECT!!! I love it :) I love your assortment of pens :)
this is great!! i love how pens look in cute cups, but i know storing them upright is not good for them.
this is functional and cute to boot!!!
you crack me up! i need one of these little pen holding wonders. all my pens are mad at me at the moment because the are all tossled and jangled up in an old ball canning jar with no order to speak of.
and of course i giggled right out loud at the value-pack-bag-of-fun-size-candy-bars!!
thank you for your sweetest comments on my last post. i just adore you!

I am impressed with your assortment of pens and love your new cubbie storage. Happy drawing...
Gosh...even your cubbies are cute, Lori! You find the best accessories for you studio...Most of my pencils and things are stuck in old plastic coleslaw containers! Your way is so much better! ;) xo Paulette
cool idea! i need a giant cubbie for the mess in my room..... :-)
Oh my goodness, I think I'm in pen happy love.♥ You must be a BLAST to go shopping with.
oh, i love organizing stuff! great use of those cubbies to sort out all your pens and markers!
nice to meet you,
ms. color cubbie!
isn't it so pleasing
to see them all
nestled prettily
in their beds?
sweet dreams to you too,
lovely one. xox
I've got to get one of these!!!
So totally CooL!
love this cubbie idea..
my pencils are everywhere!!
merci for visiting me:))

Fantabulous!! Thank you for sharing!!
Oh I need that cubbie too! Of course I would also like to have your wonderful and large stash of all kinds of pens. I'm slowly getting a small stash started.
I love it!!! How handy is this?! I've currently got my pens sticking out of flower pots that are too big. It seemed cute at the time, but now...nothing cute about it! I need this cubby!
fantastic idea! not only does it keep the markers easy to find and identify, they won't dry out! thanks for sharing!
What a fabulous storage idea! I am currently on the hunt for a clip-it-up storage system. Thanks for the great ideas :)
I keep seeing these pop up in everyone's studio...they must be perfect for holding copics and such... wow!
