Calligraphy

Well onto another DIY project. . .Calligraphy! This is the one I always knew I would have to do and have dreaded it. I taught myself calligraphy about 8 years ago when a parent of one of my students saw some of my art work (I used to draw for the kids in my after school program all the time). She said since I was so artistically inclined could I learn how to do it. . . well I guess so I told her. Yup a week later I had a second job doing Christmas cards for the rich and famous and its paying off now b/c I don't have to hire a calligrapher :o) One down and 100 something to go, here is one that I had already completed

I just think it adds a special touch when your guest sees their name written all pretty.
