    The art of handwritten letters has been lost since computers came onto the scene. It is so important to maintain this skill since one day computers may not be available to us. Plus it is just super cute!

    My oldest daughter does the most beautiful calligraphy. I got her some books and pens for Christmas. She loved them.

    This is a great skill to have. It is so sad that many children today have no clue how to handwrite, let alone calligraphy. Thanks for sharing these amazing resources!

    What a great list of products. I am terrible at hand lettering/calligraphy/writing anything out. I’m thankful for e-mail so that I don’t have to worry about how bad my lettering is.
