Thank you for a wonderful forum!

I just wanted to say hello to everyone of you for a wonderful community !. I am kind of new on the forum (on my way to 3rd exchange) I have felt very welcomed here by everyone specially @Brookeemcdonald @Starlee @Inked botanicals and of course @Erica McPhee  who has answered everyone of my questions! I discovered this forum via Calligrafile because I had taken classes with Plurabelle (Molly Suber Thorpe) and so she's got this other website with calligraphy resources etc... and there it was listed!  So I am super happy I found all of you and that the people that I have approached with calligraphy questions or just general questions regarding the forum have been so kind and helpful! I am looking forward for a 2017 full of beautiful calligraphy and learning new styles!!! LONG LIVE CALLIGRAPHY!!!

OmG @Bianca M I'm on your creative live classes lol

[Starlee]

Isn't this a wonderful place? I've enjoyed seeing it grow. There is just something innately wonderful about calligraphers, always friendly, polite and willing to help. I've found it to be a breath of fresh air in the uncertain world we live in

@Starlee I know it's a refugee from a very hard cold world, a world of calligraphy where I get to meet souls as creative and talented a you!

@esmy77  there you are! So glad to see you peeping around the forum! I'm not on nearly as much as I should be, because it is really awesome! Keep up all your amazing creative work!

Esmeralda you are so sweet!! It really is a wonderful place here! We all were starters at some point and the community is very welcoming and helpful! I am now quite busy with a new job (not calligraphy related) and don't practice and post as often as before, but I keep reading you all!!

The big big thank you must go for Erica, she is the one who makes this place possible!!

Thanks everyone! Flourish is full of wonderful, sharing, thoughtful people.  Thank you for the post Esmeraldita! Glad you found your way here. As one of our members (I think it was Brad) said a couple of years ago, "Come for the calligraphy. Stay for the people."
