I have a little scrap of paper with my daughter's first attempts at writing her name. I also have a stack of papers from her that just say "MOM." I will never throw them away.

Why is it that a text message that says the exact same thing can fade away into the scroll of a hundred other texts? A handwritten note is different. Seeing...

Have you ever started addressing an envelope, only to realize your letters are slowly drifting downhill?

If you’ve ever practiced your calligraphy and thought: My letters look good, but how do I turn this into something "finished"? You’re not alone! Creating a composition is more challenging than simply writing letters and words. With letters, you have a clear structure to follow. But with layouts, you have endless possibilities. To make it feel less overwhelming, we created a simple, repeatable process you can use with any quote. If your lettering looks good on practice sheets, but you’re not...
