Working at my 'real job' all week but check out my cool name tag I can wear (created by the instructor, not me-and no, I really don't wear a name tag!)
Ulla and I took a calligraphy class this weekend and we had a blast. She will probably have all the details on her blog later so check here.
I wonder if my CPA will mind if I submit all of the end of the fiscal year info in Spencerian script?
Man.... that is some BEAUTIFUL lettering!!! I love the Spencerian script, and believe it must be preserved.... A lost art bestowed in you!

Hi Donna,
According to Rodger, you can submit your books to your CPA in any legible manner you want. Hope your back is getting better each day.

Hey Queen of Sparkle,
How's it going today? Hope you are ALL BETTER.
Just dropping by to make sure that there is enough frivolity in the air over in the Land of the Ribboned Crown!
Have you been practicing your calligraphy? Or wearing your hardhat?

Happy day!

for sharing. Pinkie Denise

That's so funny that you should mention calligraphy. Just last week we had a customer looking for someone to do calligraphy for her. We did'nt know of anyone in our area. It looks beautiful by the way!
Posted by: DENISE | November 05, 2007 at 08:06 PM
That is a superior name tag, Donna. I think it exudes the most splendid and luxurious taste! You are a name tag diva!
I will go visit Ulla to see her post...

My hands are so tight from using a computer keyboard, I think I'd need a good dose of WD40 before I could even begin a flourish! Yes, I'm afraid I would be a "Spencerian Spaz". (I can't believe I said "spaz" - that certainly dates me!) Loved Ulla's picture of you, Donna.
Posted by: Dorian | November 05, 2007 at 07:14 PM
What a wonderful class! I only wish I'd known about it or I would have been your class mate. I adore flourishes and the birds, OH MY! I loathe name tags but I'd seriously be proud to wear one that looked like that! It actually reminds me long ago calling cards. So happy you and Ulla were in the class together. How delightful!
I hope the back is feeling better!
XOXOXO
Love,
Lisa

"LOVE IT...but really wish you would call me and let me know of these things so i can participate..(clearing my throat!) No, really looks like a blast you two had!! "Are you planning on writing a novel in Spencerian Script?" (lol)

Just think you'll be able to script the initials on the crowns now.
How's the back? You look bent over your writing in Ulla's pic so I'm gathering it's improved.
Have fun at your real job but remember to take it slow.
Love the name tag it's beautiful on the red background. Susan

Posted by: Lori | November 05, 2007 at 02:32 PM
I'm a nametag phobe, but this is a name tag I would wear!!! Now, I'm going to go see if Ulla has pix!
So glad you're feeling better and that you could be will Ulla.

So YOU took the class too? You do run in the very best circles. That is so sweet of Ulla to have gotten a picture of you while you're at it; I look forward to seeing that too, so I will be off to Ulla's to finish my tea in hopes that she has already posted said picture.
