Silverlava in Do It Yourself, on January 3, 2017 at 12:40 PM

I'm reasonably confident in my ability to learn some calligraphy for addressing these envelopes. Has anyone done calligraphy before, and if so, what sort of pen would you reccommend I buy?

Wedding sign?
Silverlava in Do It Yourself, on July 4, 2017 at 7:26 AM

I'm at a loss for what to put on our sign. I have a beautiful blank canvas but every time I look at it, I stress. What did you all put on your signs?
