Wonky but I like it fraktur for Florence

This one is super wonky. But I like it. I like the way the stamp which is from an entirely different culture complements it. I like the two colors. I like the way I discovered that flOrence vOgel has two Os in her name. I will be doing more with that discovery if she signs up for the next exchange.

I keep thinking of filing all my envelopes by the name on the envelope so that I could compare all the different ways I have written each name. If I saw them side-by-side, I bet I would discover things that would be helpful going forward.

Some names give me fits. But if I went back and looked at every time I wrote a particular name, I might figure out what the problem is and how to proceed with more confidence.

    You keep coming up with great ideas that require a lot of time. :-) I like this idea. It would be interesting to compare the different envelopes for one name. You could set up Pinterest boards. I think you need an assistant.

    Yes. An assistant. That would be wonderful.
    I am accepting applications :-)
    Really - anyone with a lot of spare time could easily start a new Pinterest account and just sit and pin all the envelopes on the blog. I'm even tempted to do it myself....
    funny how I can go so enthusiastic about starting new projects vs finishing up half-baked projects.

    On the two Os in Florence's name... I usually think of her with a celebrity contracted name - FloVo.

      Me, too. She's always Flo..
      And my celebrity name is J-Wil.

      or

      The Notorious PTE

      Finnbadger needs a different contraction - FinBad
      Sounds like Sinbad the sailor
