For Your Penjoyment, Episode 17:

Hey pen friends! Leila (IG: @nibs_out) here with another fun episode for you! It is my triumphant return following having my gallbladder removed! In this episode, Laura (IG: @1003inks) and I go over what's new in store, we answer #13PenQuestions (please join along in the comments or as a response video), and we get tingly in our silly segment! And we top it all off with our... MAILBAG! We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we do!

We LOVE receiving mail! Send us a letter, a postcard, whatever you want! And let us know what pen and ink you're using!
