Thanks to The Wine Dark Sea (a blog I recently discovered and am thoroughly enjoying) I found this fun handwriting meme. Back in the day, I was a huge letter writer (“novels” as my friends would call them) and at times I’ll still forgo the email or text and send an old fashioned hand written note. (I practically collect cute note cards and writing paper!)
Here’s how the project works:
Write down the following, snap a picture (or scan the document), post it, and tag others.
1. Name/Blog Name
2. Right handed, left handed or both
3. Favorite letters to write
4. Least favorite letters to write
5. Write: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
6. Write in caps:
CRAB
HUMOR
KALEIDOSCOPE
PAJAMAS
GAZILLION
7. Favorite song lyrics
8. Tag 7 people
9. Any special note or drawing
The only thing is that I have three different types of handwriting, depending on what I am doing. There is the traditional handwriting (see #1-5) when I am writing a letter or note to someone or signing my name. Then there is the all cap printing (see #6) when I need to keep something very clear and legible. Lastly, there is my informal writing that is a hybrid of messy handwriting and printing (see # 7-9). It is what I use most often when I am jotting things down. Okay, here’s the first page.

#3 – B A and S. Funny I didn’t realize until after that they are actually my initials. 🙂
#4 – I hate the cursive Q. Looks like the number two.
#6 – I had no idea that was how you spelled “kaleidoscope.”
I used the last sheet of that tablet so I grabbed a different tablet on my desk to finish.

#7 – It’s hard to choose just one song so I wrote what I was listening to at the moment. Closer to Love by Mat Kearney. It actually has some beautiful lyrics.
#8 – I tag my sis Elena at , Maria at Hail Mary, Full of Grace, Eileen at Our Happy Clan, Teresa at The Kramer Family, Trish at A Wonderful Life and Katherine at Having Left the Altar. Granted they are all busy ladies whom I doubt have time for this but I’ll tag anyway! My last tag is an open call to anyone reading this who wants to join the fun. Just leave your name in the comment box so I can take a peak at your blog. 🙂
#9 – I don’t know why but for years I have not written the word “and” when I am writing. I always use my version of the “&” sign. Also, I don’t usually sign my name to letters of people I know well. It’s just “B” and a smiley face. 🙂
Well, that was a fun little diversion but now it’s back to work. Laundry and dishes call before the baby wakes up! Enjoy your day!
