I was one of those girls whose handwriting changed at least once a year in middle school. By the end of high school, I think I pretty much got my handwriting sorted out, but I still have a different style for when I'm writing a grocery list, or journaling, or addressing a letter. So it's probably no surprise that I really love calligraphy. L-O-V-E it. I think elaborate scripts with zillions of flourishes are gorgeous, but I also think playful and simple and sweet styles can be just as wonderful. In no particular order, here are some of my favorites.
