Will you be using a fountain pen to write your cards?

|
|
Post by Midge on Oct 27, 2014 18:27:12 GMT -6
No. I've got an old fountain pen, but I stopped using it years ago and now I can't get it to work. Fountain pens are treacherous for us left-handed people anyway because we tend to smear the ink.
