I flunked handwritting all through school. My mom bought me a calligraphy set in junior high to try to help my handwritting. I enjoyed it & I don't know why I stopped doing it. I'm glad I picked it back up again. I left a job because I was moving and my boss said "well miss you, morgan, but we won't miss your handwritting." We had appointment books that everyone wrote in. The funniest thing was a year later I went back to work there during the summer & there was a girl with handwritting just like mine. It was creepy how similar it was.

Here is one a scraweled out real fast to share. I don't want to put up an actual address so I made this one on an envelope that was messed up. The big pile are the ones a friend did last night.

It took me a couple tries to get that D right. Normally I practice a letter like that before I write on the envelope. Don't worry I'm not scratching out on the real ones. I'm not that tacky.

It's funny. you were asking for a pic as I was posting it. I know the rules around here :)

I had a book when I was younger that showed arrows so you knew what direction to start in. I'm just looking at this website copying the look of each letter. I know it's nothing close to pro calligraphy, but it's better than my chicken scratch.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
