I've been seeing this idea pop up in a lot of the places I lurk. I definitely concur that the pen/pencil makes all the difference. My handwriting seems to change on a daily basis, and it vacillates between cursive, printing and some sort of tweaked-out hybrid with cursive and printed letters in even the same word. Yeah. I might do this, too. :)

Kerri Anne

Yay! for handwritten anything. This is why I love cards, and notes, and cards with notes.

(And I hadn't seen this before! I'm pretty much in love with this idea.)

Dani

It's funny because today I blogged about Amelia's handwriting!

We make our "W"s the same. Cute!

Nothing But Bonfires

This is great! Totally stealing. Although handwriting things is just going to make me think of my wedding and I'll probably start scrawling my address in the post 3437 times, like I did on the back of our invitations. And RSVP cards. And thank you notes. Wait, I got carpal tunnel syndrome just THINKING about that.

Christina

Awesome! I'm totally doing this:)
Mine wont be as legible as yours - but I will use a good pen because I absolutely agree about the quality of the writing and the pen are directly linked!

A'Dell

Oh GAWD, Holly has the cutest handwriting ever so now I'm not sure I even WANT to compete even though this idea intrigues me.

Steph

I'm loving this! I can't wait to come up with something myself. I have a strange love for handwritten things.

I just finished posting my handwritten post here, about ten minutes before I read this. I even said the same thing about how what writing instrument I'm using affects how my handwriting looks. (Totally crappy with pencil and standard ballpoint pens.)

Angella

I saw this on Swistles site and over at Chris Cactus' site and had contemplated playing along. I just might join you.

Ashley

Yes. My handwriting, while never actually good, is infinitely better when I use a fine tip ball point pen, preferably a black one. Yeah, I know - high maintenance much?

Swistle

YES my handwriting definitely varies depending on the writing instrument.

Also, you should totally do a stick-figure picture of Kyle.

Rachel

So fun, and I totally agree that my writing depends on what type of pen I use! It's pretty interesting, but so true! :)

Rhi

Handwriting TOTALLY depends on the quality of the pen. And, I may try this!

Deanna

I saw Swistle's post and thought I would do one too. You have inspired me to join in for sure! I'm pretty much a pen whore, and a bit of a snobby one at that. We believe we have discovered the perfect pen in my office, and I will definitely use when I get around to writing my post.

nonsoccermom

I did this too! And as I look at my own post, I think I needed a better pen.

She Likes Purple

Deanna, what pen is it? I must know!

Dots

This is SO FUN. I had to do it myself. And I was only *slightly* carried away.

Natalie

I love your handwriting as does my mommy.

Think Pink

That's a fun trend, it gets so much more personal to see someones handwriting, maybe I'll try it sometime:)

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
