For the inspiring quote I chose the one from my favourite book ever: The Little Prince.
Hope you enjoy it as I do

That's great Chiarag! Someone in my group did a The Little Prince quote too. So many beautiful quotes in that book.

I choose a quote from one of my favorite books A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. "Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost."
I hope the others in my group feel feel inclined to share. Beauties they were!

One hundred words!  I decided against a 24-word quote (including the attribution) because it felt too long for my nascent skills (and the stationery I wanted to use).  Hats off to you.  Beautifully-consistent spacing, too.

medical illustration. I even found a college, but then I found out I had to buy a cadaver (dead body), so I decided that was not for me.

"buy" a dead body?! That is intense!

So this isn't strictly a normal picture of the exchanges, but I felt it belonged here. I've received so many wonderful letters through the exchanges they were starting to overflow my box where I keep my letters.

So I cut a piece of fabric, tied them up and transferred them to an empty cardboard box that will start holding my older letters that I don't want to let go of. But of course I had to take a picture of them and share of the pile all tied up.

Connie.  This could quite possibly be the best thing I've seen all year (from someone who is obsessed with Halloween AND calligraphy).  That coffin... that script. Call me morbid, but I might take a vampire bite just to get something that cool.

And the teeth holding the scroll, right? Because that seemed pretty plasticy to me, and glued down.
