CONGRATULATIONS!! We have a winner!! Thank you all for your sweet wishes and thoughtful comments! I loved how so many of you want to learn calligraphy for service-oriented purposes.
I chose sort of randomly. I just scrolled to a random page of comments and picked my favorite (because it’s my birthday and I can). I love that Meghan wants to do things for others. So I chose her.
Meghan’s comment: I will use my art of writing calligraphy to personalize 2014 planners and notebooks and have a sale in my school for the benefit of the families who were affected by the flood and the earthquake here in the Philippines. My schoolmates can get personalized items with their calligraphed names on them; they also helped put smiles on the victims’ faces.

I have always dreamed of doing calligraphy. I feel like it is a lost art. I have looked in to your workshops many times but have not taken the plunge, financially it has not been good timing. I think this is a really neat giveaway and would love to win!!
I would love to expand my hand lettering skills with beautiful Calligraphy supplies! Hope you had a wonderful Birthday Melissa!

I’d love to learn calligraphy! I’d use it for presents, in artwork for my home, maybe for my dissertation’s title page, if I ever get the thing done – and definitely as something to help me de-stress in the meantime! Thanks so much for the giveaway, Melissa! Happy, happy birthday!

I think that Calligraphy gives a beautiful twist on graphic design. And as a designer, I would incorporate my new calligraphy skills with illustrations and designs to create postcards, notebooks and other paper stuff for my clients, friends and family. :)
Happy birthday and congrats!

Happy Birthday! I would use it to address cards to family and friends. The possibilities are endless! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to learn calligraphy and use it around the home.
Thank you for the fabulous giveaway. I’m dying to pick up one of your kits, but I’m trying to show some self restraint and finish some of my ongoing projects first.
I plan to send handwritten notes to friends and family. Simple messages through snail mail is a lost art.

I am a graphic designer, and I think developing my calligraphy skills would help in so many different aspects of my career and future desires for my life. I want to be able to get away from the computer more often, and do more hand lettering, art, and calligraphy! Winning this would be a dream!

I like DIY projects and I love giving them away as gifts to family and friends. If I win this calligraphy kit, I will practice daily so I will get better and start making hand made Christmas and New Year (and all occasions!) cards to dear family and friends. Cannot wait! the appreciative look on their faces would definitely warm my heart. :)

I’m actually not a new calligrapher, but I haven’t done it for a while. I’d like to get back into it again, though, and do some envelopes. People always love getting mail with their name done really cool on the envelope.

I’d love to learn calligraphy for my future wedding invites and for simple letters and gift tags for friends and family :) I hope to be able to make it into a business venture, too!
I love how Calligraphy makes everything beautiful. As a Graphic Designer, I would love to use my calligraphy hobby in writing inspirational quotes and applying it on my designs to create pretty prints that I can share to everyone. I can also use this in customizing invitations, posters, birthday cards and other cool stuff for my clients and friends. And lastly, I want to spread calligraphy by sharing the skills to those who are interested to learn. :)

i’m new to calligraphy and i want to be good at it. i really admire the work of people who are into it since at this time, most rely on computers and fonts. i am into crafting and would love to use calligraphy in packaging my items, plus christmas is coming up. it would be awesome to be able to write beautifully in tags, notes, etc. Or maybe write a quote or something to give as a gift :)

This is so awesome! And a Happy Birthday! :) winning this great giveaway means more channels to practice my calligraphy (still a noob!) and the workshop would really be lovely. Being a leftie means more practice on calligraphy for me, and having them new nibs and workshop knowledge would really be fantastic. :)
