This Friday's flourish is one I tried to duplicate from page 157 of The Universal Penman by George Bickham. It was a tough one for me. I should speed up to reduce the wiggles, but when I speed up my pen starts doing things and going places I don't want!
IAMPETH has mailed the 2010 convention information to all members. If you like pointed pen work, I encourage you to join IAMPETH. You can visit the IAMPETH site here. The convention looks as though it will be another good one. Non-members will be able to view and register for the convention on February 19th.
Although we have not yet received official word on Madiana and her family specifically, today we have learned that her child development center was moderately affected by the Haiti earthquake. This means her center was located outside a zone officially reported as severe and the center has not reported any deaths. The center has reported damage to homes and center facilities, but this is reason to believe that Madiana is alive and well. Thank you so much for your prayers, and I will post when we hear specific word about Madiana. I understand that specific news may take a very long time to reach us.
I see A Place to Fourish will be celebrating its 1st anniversary next week! I think it's time for me to have my first giveaway. hmmmm.... I will have to think of something flourishy to create. Thank you all for taking the time to visit, read, comment and email me. Blogging has been a wonderful experience. I have met so many warm and wonderful people. Check back next week for the Anniversary Giveaway.
Go forth and flourish!

Flourish Friday - August 21

This flourish is patterned after one I saw on page 4 of The Universal Penman. Today, we take our daughter back to Purdue University to begin her sophomore year. She is excited to return to campus. It's been wonderful having her home this summer. August is a bittersweet month for me....
Happy Flourish Friday!

Flourish Friday May 15th
Is it Friday already?! The week flew by for me. I love, love, love to make these mandalas. I have a step-by-step mandala picture tutorial at Flickr. You can view it here. This particular mandala was made for an exchange. The quote is by Jean Paul Richter and says, "Cheerfulness, like spring, opens all the blossoms of the inward man."
