Important Announcement About Copic Classes

It has been nearly three years since Sue introduced me to Copic markers and I started teaching classes at Pizazz It! Scrapbooks.  Since then, we've moved our little group to Hobby Lobby and continued classes there.  You ladies are such a joy to be around and I have thoroughly enjoyed researching and learning different techniques to bring you each month.  Lately, however, I'm finding the creative juices are drying up and my heart is just not into teaching any more.  The class is ready for a fresh face and fresh ideas.  I am THRILLED to announce that Charmaine Blue will begin taking over teaching Copic classes at Hobby Lobby in August.  She is amazingly talented and really has a passion for Copic markers.  I'm excited for the group to learn new techniques and fresh ideas.  I'm excited for Charmaine because I know teaching has been something she has been thinking about doing.  And I'm excited for me to continue to participate in the class with you wonderful ladies as a student!

The transition to a new instructor should be pretty smooth.  Charmaine plans to keep things the same for now, but I'm sure changes will be made down the road as she sees ways to improve upon the process.  If there are any changes you would like to see made, please don't hesitate to let Charmaine know.  She is also very interested knowing what techniques and stamp images you would like to see in future classes.  Charmaine's email address is cqblue@att.net

Please join me on congratulating Charmaine!

(Brownie points for anyone who can tell me how to rotate this last photo.  It is NOT uploaded like that.  Kindly tilt your head to the right to view.)

Any hoo......I still have a couple more card kits left.  $15 for the class kit with instructions and $4 for each additional kit.

Mark your calendar for the next class which is July 28 at 12:30.  Markers and technique to be announced shortly.

Copic classes delayed just a wee bit

I'm thrilled so many of you are interested in continuing your Copic marker skills.  I just wanted to touch base with you to let everyone know I haven't dropped the ball or forgotten about you.  I was hoping to have a class in July, however, my little dude was at Children's Hospital.  He has kidney stones in both kidneys and had to have surgery. 

Doesn't this just break your heart?

He is doing well but needs to go back next week for an out patient procedure and then have another follow up surgery after that.  


I have an awesome technique in mind for our first class, but haven't planned for markers yet.  Here is a 50% off coupon for Michael's for today only and a 40% off coupon for the next week.  You might want to take advantage of it and pick up a marker or two you've had your eye on.  Michael's offers 60 Copic colors for $6.99.  Here is a link to the 60 colors Michael's carries.



Hobby Lobby also has a 40% off coupon good through July 9th.  HL offers 144 Copic colors for $6.49.  They are located by the custom framing counter and are kept in a back room.  You need to ask an employee to see them and must know the secret hand shake before being admitted into the sanctum.  (JK about the hand shake!).  Here is a link to the 144 colors HL carries.



Enjoy the coupons, happy shopping and I'll be in touch very shortly!
