A Little Gift from My Desk 🌹

I’ve been working on a little something I’ve wanted to share for some time.

Two sets of printable gift tags, featuring my original hand-lettered penmanship, are now available as a complimentary download from Rose Art Creative.

Print them on cardstock, cut along the outlines, add a ribbon—and perhaps use one the next time you have a little something to give.

Nothing elaborates. Just a small handwritten touch to make a gift feel a little more personal.

From my desk to yours, with joy. ❤️

My newest journal entry is a very special one to me.

🌹 Before the Pen Touches the Paper 🌹 is about my mentor, Master Penman Michael R. Sull, and a journey that began ten years ago.

Looking back through old photographs, lessons, memories, and pieces of writing reminded me just how much one teacher can influence the direction of another person's life.

Michael was my mentor as I worked toward becoming a Master Penman, but what he taught me went far beyond beautiful writing.

I'm grateful that he gave me his blessing to share this story. ❤️

I hope you'll enjoy reading it.

When we lose someone we love...

Some pieces are created to celebrate joy. Others are created to offer comfort.

This artwork was born from a simple truth that many of us will one day face:

"When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the Love they left behind."

As I penned this piece, every element was intentional. The cross represents faith and remembrance. The flourishing border rises a little higher to symbolize hope and the future. And if you look closely, you'll notice the word "Love" appears twice. The second is larger by design, because I believe the love left behind does not become smaller with time—it continues to grow within our hearts.

Today, I share this piece in memory of the many friends and family members who are no longer with us, and in honor of everyone who carries the memory of someone they love.

May their love continue to guide you.

Some people spend a lifetime collecting accomplishments.

Others spend a lifetime sharing what they know.

My second Journal entry is about Ralph B. Stillwell — a longtime fountain pen collector and dealer whose passion has enriched the pen community for decades, a teacher, and one of the people who has quietly inspired generations through the Pens for Kids program.

Writing this piece reminded me that preserving penmanship isn't only about beautiful letters. It's about passing knowledge from one generation to the next, one child at a time.

I'm grateful I had the opportunity to tell a small part of Ralph's story.

I hope you'll enjoy reading it.

When you visit a website, you see only the finished result. What you don't see are the countless hours of learning, experimenting, making mistakes, and trying again to make everything work smoothly.

I'm happy to share that I've been rebuilding my website myself, with the wonderful help of my friend, Uni. It's been a challenging journey, but also one of the most rewarding things I've done.

🎉 The Artist Who Designs the Web

She does not build with brick or stone,
Nor carve with chisel, steel, or flame.
She gathers light upon a screen
And quietly gives a dream its name.

She chooses not the loudest hue,
But one that lets the heart exhale.
A gentle ivory, a rose,
A whispered blue, a softened trail.

Each margin breathes, each letter sings,
Each empty space has purpose, too.
For beauty is not only found
In all we add—but what shines through.

She thinks of strangers yet to come,
Their hurried days, their searching eyes.
She asks, "Will they feel welcome here?
Will hope be waiting when they arrive?"

Her canvas stretches far and wide,
Yet every page is touched by hand.
A quiet gallery of thoughts,
A place where kindness makes its stand.

The web becomes a living home,
Where stories bloom instead of fade.
Not woven merely out of code,
But stitched with every choice she made.

For every artist leaves a mark
Beyond the work that others see.
Some paint on paper, some on walls—
She paints where hearts may wander free.

The glass holds the memory of all four Detroit inks.

Even though the colors have blended into a soft rose hue, each ink contributed to it. That's actually a beautiful metaphor.

It reminds me of Detroit itself:

Different people.
Different neighborhoods.
Different histories.

Together creating one city.

Some inks invite you to write...

This one invited me to slow down.

My first Journal entry is now live on Rose Art Creative. It begins with a bottle of Detroit Pen Show ink, a glass pen, and a quiet evening at my desk.
If you'd like to read the story, I'd love to share it with you:

After many months of work, I'm excited to share my newly refreshed website.

Rose Art Creative is where I share my commissioned penmanship, workshops, and the timeless art of beautiful writing. Whether you're looking for a meaningful handwritten keepsake or would like to learn American Cursive Handwriting or Spencerian, I'd love to welcome you.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey over the years. I hope you'll take a look, and if you enjoy it, I'd be grateful if you shared it with someone who appreciates the beauty of handwriting.
