Favorite Finds – Putting Pen to Paper
ell, it has been exactly 2 months and 3 days since our last post. That is just disgraceful. We should be ashamed of ourselves! But we aren’t. November was a crazy month for us privately and December was a crazy month for us publicly. Frankly, blogging was the last thing on our mind.
That said, all ended well and we are totally excited to start writing the first chapter of 2010. Speaking of writing…did you hear about our new year’s resolution? We’re going to start writing in cursive again!
While you wouldn’t know it these days, we used to have awesome swirls and slants. Honest. Our mom has 8 years worth of “excellence in penmanship” awards disintegrating in a JC Penny box in the back of her closet to prove it. We’ve recently realized the true damage caused by our computer (and keyboard) guided culture. Our handwriting has deteriorated so much that last month when we used cursive to write our brother’s birthday card, our greetings were stunted by awkward stops and starts as we tried to write a capital “B” and struggled to remember how to connect a “w” to an “r”. Talk about something to be ashamed of…
Luckily, we recently stumbled upon some amazing old calligraphy pens to help us (and you!) put pen to paper again and regain the former glory of our handwritten youth.
