First try on script lettering

Tira, I've always admired Sam's engraving and have been for the past, at least 10 yrs and want to attend his class when possible. If anyone has any scholarships out there that I don't know about, just holler

Hi Dwayne.
FEGA has a scollarship for engravers.
You can get the details from FEGA VP Jim Blair C/O fega@fega.com
It would be great to see you get some class time with Sam or one of the other fine instructors.
I'm sure you would get a lot out of it. Best of luck with your application.
John B.

I throw $20 a week into a wallet to save up money to go to BLADE and buy fun things. On rare occasions I'll have a little 'extra' money I can toss in as well. Keep at it and it adds up pretty good.

The ever-indulgent wife and I do the 'allowance' thing were we each get a certain amount of money each week for our own personal use. Main thing about it is that you can't complain about what the other person spends their own money on. I split my weekly bit in half - half I keep, the other half goes into my BLADE fund and a similar fund I keep just for presents for the ever-indulgent wife. Ok, some of her presents come (at least in part) out of 'my' money, and I get credit for things bought with 'our' money but the point I'm trying to make is that a piggy bank and consistency can be your friend in things like this.
