Pen to Paper has taken on a different meaning over the past year to me. I still love brush calligraphy and all that it entails but I also found myself in a rut. I do so much more than calligraphy. I am a painter, a crafter, a mom, a wife, and am just plain Krystal. I really haven’t showed you guys that side of me, just because I felt like it didn’t fit in my “box” that I was in. Pen to Paper was always a name I knew I loved because it could mean so much more than just brush calligraphy. Pen to Paper is a to-do list, a sketch, and a list of new ideas, just to name a few. And, I can’t wait to share all that I am as Krystal and not just brush calligraphy.
Honestly, it wasn’t a hard name to come up with. Well, at least for me it wasn’t. That’s all thanks to one of my best friends, Rachel Leslie with Polka Square Designs. She is seriously the best! I don’t know how she does it but she can create something beautiful out of the ordinary. She helped design and create my business within days. I have also in-trusted her with my husband’s business as she created their name and logo for when he became partner one year ago.
She writes beautifully and so elegantly and her website about her precious daughter will bring you to tears. Her strength and charisma cannot be touched by anyone that I know of.
Have I mentioned her Instagram account?! Well, please take a moment and gush over her photography skills and once again amazing use of words. Ohhhhhh and her jewelry line right now is killing it!
I kinda love her and everything she is about. She is my person I can always count on and even though she lives in a different town now, I know for a 100% certainty that our friendship and love for each other will stand the test of time.
Every year the holiday season seems to fly by. Last year I had an excuse with a newborn, but this year I am going to try and be more meaningful. So, to help me, I decided to make this printable to fill out every night at dinner with my family. I am very blessed that we all still sit and eat dinner with each other almost every night. Harrison is finally getting more “involved” and I am loving the dynamic he gives our family.
Brush Calligraphy is a fun and quick way to create modern and traditional calligraphy without all the hassle of traditional pens and nibs. You will be able to create beautiful calligraphy with just one pen!
