You can see the first attempt below. I needed to fix that S and the L was wonky.
The S was still too small at the top, so I added those lines and I actually think that bit of texture adds some visual interest.
I do not like how the li combo looks like a t on both of them. But, I have to let this one go. The part of me that is eager to wrap up 2019 and approach 2020 with a few changes is ....... on a roller coaster of --- you can do it ---followed by --- you are delusional.
Leslie mentioned that she liked to see her name BIG on the envelopes. I think she probably prefers lovely traditional calligraphy. I might attempt some of that.
Some day.
Onward.

Real time P.S. Embracing the chaos. I edited out some of the stuff I wrote in October. The only thing I know is that the blog will be there - faithfully - every single day. Until I expire. (or some condition arises and I will have someone in charge of notifying you) It will be daily. It will be fairly short and sweet. It will aspire to inspire. Nuf said.
