The Love Story That Inspired a Font.

I love a good love story. After 35 years of marriage, I thought it was time to celebrate and tell ours in a very special way…so I created a font!

The name “Hello My Love” refers to the way we greet each other. As corny as it sounds, there’s nothing that puts a smile on my face more than to see my hubby, Michael, walk in the door, which is in direct sight of my home studio and say those 3 words.

We were married November 9, 1984.  Two kids and five houses later, we still like each other and feel an even deeper love and appreciation for our relationship. For us, that required a big celebration! So last October, we took a trip to Vienna and Italy with our sons Alex and Nick and his girlfriend Victoria.

This is all of us in Verona at a pasta making class.

But I wanted something beyond a trip to commemorate this wonderful moment in time. The font is that tribute to our love story. It represents the hard earned ease and flow that comes from sharing the ups and downs of life together and learning “this too shall pass”. It speaks to the level of gratitude that evolves after experiencing heartbreaking moments as well as extreme joy during the many years that we’ve been lucky enough to share together. But most importantly it’s filled with the love that grew and evolved into something that we cherish every day.

So how did this journey begin?

It all started many years ago when I first saw Michael at the age of 4 in his grandfather’s corner grocery store. I imagined he got to eat all the candy he wanted! Fast forward 12 years, and we met at McDonald’s after our high school’s football game. We dated for awhile but went our separate ways when he left for college. Eleven years later, I moved to Dallas.  Meanwhile, back in our hometown of Erie, Pa. his mom ran into my dad at a local Italian deli.  When he told her I lived in Dallas, she was delighted to share that her son had been transferred there 6 months earlier. When Michael called his parents at the usual time, she shared the news. He gave me a call. We reconnected at a restaurant called “The Magic Time Machine”. (How perfect is that!) And a year and a half later we were married at the same church both of our parents had been married in. Serendipitous to say the least!

I can’t imagine my life without this man who has taught, accepted, tolerated, supported and encouraged me for the last 35 years to follow my own unique path.  He puts his all into whatever he does. He is passionate about his family, golf, track and field and his faith. He’s been a loving, devoted father whose sons always know how proud he is of them. And he’s a great story teller, regaling us throughout the years with funny moments of his life working in his close knit family’s Italian deli and bakery. He is usually laughing so hard he can barely get the words out. I love his laugh. It’s a deep gut laugh. It’s like his whole body is erupting with joy.

I could go on. But I hope this helps you to understand the inspiration behind the font. I hope you have your own love story to tell. It doesn’t have to be a romantic one. It can be about having a special bond with a friend, a family member or discovering how to love yourself. We all need to learn that.

The love that inspired me to create this font, is not the kind of emotion you see in movies. Someone doesn’t complete you. It’s doing real life together, every day, with repetitive menial tasks, kids that don’t want to go to bed and parents who become ill. It’s never feeling like you can do it all but somehow managing the most important things because you’re doing it together. It’s going through the stages of life, re-inventing yourself and your relationship over and over. It’s knowing when you to let the small things go and focusing on the good that’s in front of you. Forgiving quickly, crying or comforting when the need arises, knowing when to lead and when to follow and always keeping a sense of humor…these are the subtle lessons that come only with time. This is, to me, what real love is about.

I’m grateful to have it in my life. And I wish I could pass it out like candy. But I can’t. So I’ve put it into a font. My hope is, that it’s used to celebrate many stories about real love.

You can take a peek at the Hello My Love font here.

It’s on sale for 50% off for a limited time. Oh and it comes with a bonus…91 Ornaments including frames, florals and design elements.

New Easy Lettering Tutorials with a Pencil!

Want to learn lettering but feel intimidated? Not sure which brush pens and paper to get?

I’m taking fear out of the equation by showing you how to start lettering with just a pencil and paper.

I’ll even send you the lettering exemplars I use in my beginner classes so you can follow along with me or practice on your own.

Or you can just use lined notebook paper to start.

Below is a tutorial showing you how to draw the letter “b”. I show you how to create it in many different ways.

Then I demonstrate step by step how to flourish the word bubble with lots of “b’s”.

If you try it and find yourself liking it, pick up some tracing paper at any craft store and email me to request the lettering exemplars.

My favorite pencils are Dixon Ticonderoga because they have the best eraser. And I’m not afraid to use it:)

You can find them at most stores where pencils are sold. I get them by the pack at Target.

Then keep that pencil sharpened as I take you through the alphabet letter be letter!

I hope you’ll join me!

You can find more of my tutorials on my YouTube Channel.

Cinque Donne: The Second Sister Honoree

As you know, from my last post, my new Cinque Donne font is named in honor of women, in particular, my sisters and girlfriends.

Today’s focus is on my sister Maryann.  She’s a mother four and grandmother of eight with one on the way!

The best way to describe Maryann is to use the word, Sweetheart.

She has a heart of gold and genuinely cares about people.

When I was nine, she was right in the middle of her teenage years.

That meant dancing with her girlfriends in the basement and talking about boys.

Of course, I was enthralled with both topics.

To my delight, she let me hang out with her and her friends and taught me all the latest dances.

That attention and inclusion made me feel so special. And I actually won a dance contest using the moves she taught me:)

That’s the feeling she still gives to everyone she meets.

When her daughter sees me dancing at a family wedding, she’s always quick to note,

“You dance just like my mom!”.

I’ll take that as a compliment!

Thanks, Maryann, for being such a loving sister, mother, and gramma.

Cinque Donne is #10 on the Hot New Fonts list!

Cinque Donne means “Five Women” in Italian.

It’s named in honor of my sisters as well as the group of five “Club Girls” I have had the pleasure of knowing since I was 14 years old!

But it also honors all women who continue to show up in their lives and the lives of those they love.

But for this post, I’m starting with a little bit of info about the oldest of my incredible sisters, Georgina.

Georgina is now retired and living in Minnesota.

But she spent years as an investigative reporter and then a technical writer for the remainder of her career taking time off to study geology in between.

Though she never had children of her own, she loved to shower attention on all of her nieces and nephews.

But before that, she beautifully played the role of big sister to me.

One moment that stands out is when I was 12.

I was going to be changing schools from one where uniforms were required, to a regular school.

With seven kids, just putting food on the table and a roof over our head took most of the family budget.

Georgina had been working at the city newspaper by this time.

 So she took me out to the local department store and let me pick out several outfits that she then purchased.

I felt like the belle of the ball.

It made all the difference in the world to this shy insecure pre-teen.

It also served as a wonderful example of how to be there for someone you love.

Thanks Georgina! You set the bar high for the rest of us.

Baby announcement with Cantoni Font

I was thrilled when my client Allison asked me to use my hand lettering

in the baby announcement for her beautiful baby boy Teagen Daniel.

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!

I immediately contracted the services of  the talented Beverly Verbeke to create the design

while I focused on the hand lettering.

The navy ( darker in the pics than in real life 🙁 ) and orange colors were a fun combination to work with.

The beautiful photographs  of baby Teagen were by Christy Persichini.
