Writing instruments...

An observation I made tonight in my craft room is that I do not lack for writing instruments.

At every turn, there is something to write with within an arm's reach. 

Can you tell that I have a penchant for pencils?  There's nothing like a No. 2 lead moving smoothly across a good sheet of paper.

In the above photo, I like to keep my favorite journaling pen (American Crafts Precision Point pens) in a vase all on it's own.  So when I'm ready to journal in my scrapbooks, I know where to find it.

And below, keeping a couple of White Signo's available comes in handy while working on projects at the table.

I could stand to go through and test some of the pens in this turnabout as I have not used them in a long while and are probably dried-up at this point.

And I do love Stampin' Up! markers.  Oh yes. 

Pens & markers are even hidden in drawers. 

It is beyond ridiculous.  Do you have a fetish for writing tools?

There are also ballpoint pens.  It's a staple, whether you are at home, at work, in your car or keep them in your handbag or your shirt pocket. 

There's a few I keep in a repurposed gift box from Jo Malone (honestly, I will not throw those boxes away). 

Keeping ballpoint pens in my handbag is quite challenging.  I seem to lose them as easily as losing my lip gloss.  Somehow I manage to do that quite often.

The pencil drawer in the desk of where my laptop sits is full of good writing paraphernalia. 

Last, but not least in every sense of the word (my bank book can prove it), the world of Copic markers that I have been living and breathing the last couple months.

Snapware does wonders for organizing markers and tools. 

So, this brings me to the question:  What do you like to write with?  Perhaps there's some great writing instrument I am missing out on.  Inquiring minds want to know...
