Creative handwriting for all occasions

My name is Sandy Smith and I am originally from New York, the big apple.  I moved to Georgia 24 years ago and I am now a Georgia Peach.

I am a mother of 2- a son (51) and daughter (47)-  And, I am a very proud grandmother of 4 – 2 grandsons (22 and 24) and 2 granddaughters (23 and 9)

I retired from the Marietta Police Department as Assistant to the Chief of Police.

I am a volunteer and board member of the South Cobb Arts Alliance.

I believe that cursive writing is important for all ages to be able to read and write.  I have enhanced my own penmanship and I now do calligraphy.
