I love the written word, and I love artwork. It's only natural that I would take an interest in calligraphy. I learned about it in high school art class and enjoyed it enough to take a class in college. Then I went on to make my own Christmas cards and even sold copies of calligraphy sayings at a craft fair for several years. Here are a couple of the sayings I sold:

I also collect sayings that someday I'd like to do in calligraphy. Here are some of them:

 Blessed are those who engage in lively conversation with the helplessly mute -
   for they shall be called dentists.

 You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Pete Rose

 A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart.

 Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our
   blessings.
