#LoveYourLettering | Revolution of Love

The 31 Day of Writing Challenge continues. It’s Day 17 of my 31 Days of Gratitude 2015.

On the weekends I try to stay off the computer as much as I can so I can spend time with my family. I treasure the more leisurely days of the weekend and am grateful for the time we have to be more playful or relax and enjoy each others company.

With that in mind, I will use Saturdays to give you a quick recap of my second October challenge – #LoveYourLettering with Lisa at Creativlei.com. 🙂

Week 3…

Day 11

On Day 11 we practiced writing Pangrams (sentences that incorporate each letter of the alphabet) and then we had to letter a quote in any method we’ve learned so far.

* * *

Days 12

Day 12 we practiced writing with a Calligraphy marker making basic letter forms.

* * *

Day 13

On Day 13 we practiced printing with a Calligraphy marker. There were two rows of each series, holding the pen at different angels.

Days 14-17

Lisa is out of town for the weekend so we have a few days to catch up and practice our letters. It worked out perfectly for me since I was already a little behind but I’m caught up now.

Day 15 was National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Lisa remembered her baby girl who passed away at 28 days old. I remembered our two babies we lost in early miscarriage. (We felt they were boys and named them Victor and Joseph.)

Today I practiced words I could write on a note card to a friend.

The 31 Day of Writing Challenge continues. It’s Day 3 of my 31 Days of Gratitude 2015.

On the weekends I try to stay off the computer as much as I can so I can spend time with my family. I treasure the more leisurely days of the weekend (theoretically speaking) and am grateful for the time we have to be more playful and enjoy each others company.

With that in mind, I thought I could use Saturdays to give you a quick recap on my second October challenge – #LoveYourLettering with Lisa at Creativlei.com. 🙂

Day 1

On the first day, we used washi tape to tape two sheets together so the ink wouldn’t bleed through. Then we added a title page.

The second page was affirmations. I have to especially remember that “it’s okay to make mistakes.” I may or may not have already ripped out 2 pages of my notebook because I messed up! Ahem.

Day 2

Day 3 was practice writing in your natural hand. This was a little tough for me since my writing has changed over the years (except for my longhand, that has pretty much stayed the same.) I have a few different ways I like to write so it’s sometimes hard to know what is my natural hand. Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

Day 3

Day 3, today, was practicing basic letter forms. I was getting flashbacks of my grammar school days. I purposely made myself sit up straight, placed my book at an angle and with my left hand holding it steady and practiced the strokes like a determined first grader. It was fun and I noticed better control over the pen and it’s movement. 🙂

Well, that’s it for this week. Next Saturday I’ll recap again. Have a great Saturday!
