I have purchased multiple digital workbooks and tutorials and have found them thoroughly instructive and inspiring. I love the annual holiday worksheets! I frequently check back for new downloads because they are always new, creative and keep pushing me to improve.

So Impressed

★★★★★

I just signed up for the Beginner’s Calligraphy class/kit. So impressed with the box of tools, the package – every possible detail is more than you would expect. Super excited and hoping by this time next year I can address my beautiful Christmas Cards with my own calligraphy instead of someone else’s!
