A mug holding pens on a countertop.Let's face it. Mugs and cups are sooooooooooooo universal. I have used mugs for pen holders a lot. But then, I wanted to sell them and oops, there are pen marks inside. You either have to bleach them or scrub them. Sometimes they are a lost cause.

Today an idea literally "fell into place". I was reorganizing the pantry and this lid fell into this cup. I thought, "how cool is this that pens can leak and mark all they want, but the cup will still be nice and safe to drink from".

N-JOY!
