PIF: Hand-calligraphed custom quote!

[arisu]

Hey girls! I know I haven't been around very much recently.. but this community means a lot to me, so I wanted to do something small for someone and hopefully bring some holiday cheer.

I participated in a homemade/handmade PIF where I promised to make something handmade for the first 5 people who posted on my Facebook status in 2012... I am just now getting around to making them, and I wanted to pay it forward a little more to all you amazing girls on this forum and offer it to one of you as well

It'll be something along the lines of this... (excuse the instagram photo. )

If you'd like one, please post your favorite quote and (if you'd prefer a color combo other than white ink on black) the color combo of paper/ink that you'd like and I'll do my best to accommodate you!

I'll probably close this December 14, because that's when my finals end! LOL! I'll pick up at least one person, maybe more if I have more time, and might come back to the thread from time to time whenever I have the spare time to do some more calligraphy.

All I ask is that you PIF in some way! It can be anything from baking some cookies for your neighbors/friends to leaving a few really genuine comments in the gallery or starting your own PIF thread. Totally up to you!

Such a wonderful thing to spread a little happiness, Alice! Some of my favorites are:

"Not all who wander are lost." -- I want this one to hang in a wall grouping with photographs I've taken in Rome, Paris and other places we've traveled.

"Walk in a manner worthy of the calling." Ephesians 4:1

"Today is a gift. Live accordingly."

I would love one - I'd give it to my sister.

These are a few of her favorite quotes:

Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."

OR

I carry your heart
(I carry it in my heart) - ee cummings
