Happy Little Accidents

 

I love hand writing.  I adore making the letters how I want them to look.  My friend, Windy (aka Wendy), thinks that I should even have my own font.  I take that endorsement seriously.  I realized recently as I was addressing envelopes that certain letters and I do not get along.  Ks are very challenging for me.  Which is troubling when you have a brother named Kip, a brother named Kirk AND the last name Kennedy.  I adore the letter J. Another reason to be super thankful for all the Jennifers in my life.  ❤❤  Zibbi was writing her name and grade on the back of school photos.  She messed up, so I shared this story.  Once, Betsy C. and I were decorating balloons for a party.  She was merrily decorating,while I was stalling, frozen with fear over spoiling the balloon.  Betsy assured me that if I did indeed produce something I did not like, I could transform it into part of my design.  She demonstrated.  As I shared the story with Zibbi, she began to transform the deformed letters into designs.  One "i" had a tongue hanging out.  One "b" looked as if it were waving.  We decided they were, "happy little accidents" as Bob Ross would say.  Even better than the original.
