To let you guys know, all but two parcels have now been sent out, can you please give me a shout when they arrive please!

Smoni, BMH, yours are coming, I simply need to wait to be paid again, you got the short end of the stick being in UK too, had to get those internationals out first! At least i'm on top of it now and those parcels are ready to go. Please forgive my tardiness.

I just wanted to let all my writing buddies that I am sending out replys! Hopefully everyone's letters will be in the mail Thursday or Friday. Getting them was a little slow coming because our mailman decided that since there was more than an inch of snowon the ground, he'd take a week and a half off of delivering anything, which was lovely, but alas.

It's a type of pointed pen calligraphy which is sometimes called English round hand or Anglaise.
It's old but most used in the 19th century and is mostly written with a weird angular pen.
I've just started, but googling 'copperplate' or 'florishing' there is alot of really pretty examples.
