     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0012]    With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 6  thereof, a new carrying device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
         [0013]    As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 6 , the writing utensil carrying assembly  10  generally comprises a holder  12  to contain a plurality of writing utensils  14 . The writing utensils  14  may be pens or pencils or the like. The holder  12  comprises a panel  16  that has a front side  18 , a back side  20  and a perimeter edge  22  extending therebetween. A plurality of sleeves  24  is coupled to the front side  18  and the sleeves  24  extend between a top side  26  and a bottom side  28  of the perimeter edge  22 . The sleeves  24  are spaced between a first lateral side  30  and a second lateral side  32  of the perimeter edge  22 . Each of the sleeves  24  has an open end  34  and the open end  34  may insertably receive one of the writing utensils  14 . 
         [0014]    A pocket  36  is coupled to the back side  20  and the pocket  36  has an aperture  38  therein to insertably receive an item  40 . The aperture  38  may have a closure  40  comprising a zipper or the like. A strap  42  is coupled to the holder  12  and the strap  42  may wrapped around an object  44  such that the holder  12  is retained on the object  44 . The object  44  may be a cover of a book or the like. 
         [0015]    The strap  42  has a first end  46  and a second end  48 . The first end  46  is coupled to the top side  26  and the second end  48  is coupled to the bottom side  28 . The strap  42  has a break therein to define a first portion  50  and a second portion  52 . Additionally, the break defines a distal end  54  of each of the first portion  50  and the second portion  52  with respect to the holder  12 . As shown in  FIG. 4 , the strap  42  may be one of a pair of straps  60  each positioned adjacent to one of the first lateral side  30  and the second lateral side  32  of the perimeter edge  22 . In an alternative embodiment as shown in  FIG. 6 , the first end  46  of the strap  42  is coupled to the first lateral side  30  of the perimeter edge  22  and the second end  48  of the strap  42  is coupled to the second lateral side  32  of the perimeter edge  22 . The strap  42  may be wrapped around an arm  53  of a user  55  such that the writing utensils  14  are oriented to extend along the arm  53  of the user  55 . 
         [0016]    A first coupler  56  and a second coupler  58  are provided. The first coupler  56  is coupled to the first portion  50  and the first coupler  56  is positioned adjacent to the distal end  54  of the first portion  50 . The second coupler  58  is coupled to the second portion  52  and the second coupler  58  is positioned adjacent to the distal end  54  of the second portion  52 . The first coupler  56  engages the second coupler  58 . The first  56  and second  58  couplers may comprise hook and loop fasteners. 
         [0017]    In use, the strap  42  is wrapped around the object  44  and the first  56  and second  58  couplers are coupled together. The writing utensils  14  are positioned in the sleeves  24  to be transported on the object  44 . The holder  12  may be utilized in an educational environment, a medical environment or an administrative environment. Additionally, the holder  12  ensures the writing utensils  14  are always available. 
         [0018]    With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
         [0019]    Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
