Copic Playing: demo 5/9

The more we play with Copic's, the more we love them. Don't worry if you still haven't seen them first hand, or been able to try your hand at them. We'll be demo'ing them at the retreat (hurry, only 1 spot left for the entire weekend!! A couple for Friday evening & Saturday afternoon.)

Just a Hello & update of Life

Hi,

I don't think that I mentioned this before but I have two Mini Horses, Butter Cup and Fire Fly.

They are great!  I plan on learning how to drive a rig and go to parades around the immediate area surrounding me in Montana. It should be a lot of fun !  Anyway the Mare Butter is going to have a foal this month.  That will be a totally new experience for me. Even though I am a Registered Nurse and worked the ER for years I am not familiar with the animal birthing process. My husband delivered 13 babies while working on the City of Las Vegas Fire Department and is looking forward to changing his number of deliveries to 14.  The trouble is I am afraid that he will be out of town when she foals.  In any case I do have support with the friends that I purchased her from and the Vet if I need him.

I took some pictures of her today and thought that I would post them as very pregnant Mini and her gelding friend fly.

Copic Pens

These markers are a must for anyone that likes to color.  Many of the designers use these pens since they are so versatile and the fact that you can blend colors easily and get professional results in little time.  I have searched the Internet and found several sites on  You Tube for beginners and how to use the pens.  Of the two that are out there one is very involved and the second is not as complex and works best for beginners.  Not that you really need to view them, but I did pick up several points that I found of benefit.  At the store we will be forming a copic club.  This will enable you to get basic pens in order to create wonderful cards and embellishments for you pages.  Keep checking the blog for updates on the club.  Will also post items of interest pertaining to the pens.

UPCOMING EVENTS Retreat

Hi,

Just wanted to let you all know that the spaces for overnight are going fast.  Have 3 remaining so if you intend on going please get in with your deposit.  If you find that you can not attend the sleep over we have evening slots available on Friday night, plus Saturday.  Although it won't be as much fun as the sleep over we will be having special events and prizes at those times too!  You can let your husbands and family know that this would be a great present for you on Mothers day.
