Whether it’s a family member or a friend you’re missing, or you’d simply like to show your appreciation to the NHS or keyworkers who continue to work on the front line, we want to see your colourful creations, so get creative, take a picture and share a photo of them on your social media channels using the hashtag #SaySomethingSpecial to show your support and that you are thinking of them. Alternatively, you can email them to us at manuscript@manuscriptpen.com and we’ll be happy to share them on our social media channels.
