I am so excited for this morning! I have a new friend coming for coffee this morning. She's a young mom that I met at a Bridal Fair--a fellow calligrapher! I've longed to have another friend who is a calligrapher for business reasons; it's good to have someone to refer work to if you can't take it or to hire for help on large projects. It's also important to have someone as a back up in case you get sick in the middle of a deadline. (That has never happened but it always makes me nervous when I am working to a short deadline.) The best thing is that her work is marvelous and she's a warm, sweet and generous person on top of that! Today we're just going to chat and have coffee and get to know each other but I'm hoping that we can eventually start 'playing' together--show and tell, making paste paper, learning new techniques, sharing favorite tools and materials. Who knows? Could be the start of a guild!
I'm ashamed to say that I have long wished for another calligrapher but I never prayed for one, and yet God has granted me this great blessing!
I am thankful for Cristine.
Can't wait!

What a joy to have a new friend over. I love Calliigraphy, so today I wish I could join you and your friend so you can teach me!
Have a most blessed day!
Sounds like fun, Kim. I hope you've had a great time!
What a unique gift to be given – a calligrapher friend. I love the originality of your thanks today. May you and Cristine become wonderful business associates and friends.
What a treat!
Wonderful! What a gift from the Lord. :)
I love when God gives us kindred spirits! Hope your morning was terrific.
I know what you mean. Your enthusiasm needs someone who understands and agrees- and no one agrees unless they are as enthusiastic as you. Convoluted, but true. :)
