Scriptus 2019, Part II: Bringing Your Kids to the Pen Show

November 12, 2019 by wonderpens Leave a Comment

Every year we’ve brought Caleb, and after she was born, Naomi, to the pen show. It’s always been hairy, and I feel like it’s probably going to get hairier before it gets…less hairy. Hairless?

Scriptus Recap, Part I: Pens and Things
