A little funny to share:
I have 3 older sisters & they are all talented, but really don't understand my crafting addiction. They love the things I make... but are totally clueless when they ask what I would like for my birthday or Christmas and they get a list of crafty things. :o) This year I thought I would make it very simple for them...I told them I wanted Copic Ciao Markers & gave each of them a list of 6 colors to get my Ciao B set going. I told them I would be happy with one marker, but was giving them some color choices. Two of my sisters live in Oregon & they don't have Hobby Lobby. Who knew? I told them (all 3) about a website where my hubby had purchased my Ciao Set A.
Sister #3...goes to the website & orders me 8 Ciao Markers. Yeah!!
Sister #1....goes to Art Store in Salem, Oregon & buys me 5 Sketch Markers (love them, but they are a little pricey & that is why I thought I would just get the Ciao sets). She thinks getting me markers was slighting me somehow, so she sent me some beautiful earrings & a gift certificate. I racked up!! :o)
Sister #2....bless her heart!! LOL! She takes her list & goes to Hobby Lobby...she doesn't have a clue what she's looking for, she asks an employee...they don't carry them. What? My sweet BIL is looking around and finds them...they only have the Sketch markers. She only finds 1 on the list of colors that I had given her, so she decides that just won't do....she buys me all the colors they have (19 Sketch markers). WHOO-HOO!!
I ended up with 24 Sketch Markers & 8 Ciao Markers for my birthday. Whoa!! I've got some markers now! I'm tickled, but now I think I need all of the Sketch & Ciao markers. My hubby thinks NOT! LOL! He said I need to quit admiring them & use them. hehe!!
Can you believe in all the chaos of marker shopping there were no duplicates? They did good! I have the BEST big sisters & I love them dearly....plus, they spoil me rotten! :o)
I've had a fun weekend opening all my belated b'day packages. It's been a fun week.
FYI: Don't forget to sign up for the Blog Candy (post below)! I will post the winner late Monday afternoon or early evening.
I have to get busy and craft some things this week.
Thanks for stopping by.....

I am completely amazed that you did not get any duplicates. I figured that was what the story today was going to be! lol
Yes you sure made out and I know you will have hours and hours of fun with them :)
Your sister is close to Salem huh, well that is in my old stomping grounds cause I grew up in Sweet Home. Small world
Have fun playing Deb!
I have 30 of the sketch markers & LOVE them - doubt I'll collect all 322 though! *LOL* You'll have to let me know what you think of the Ciao line. I can only get those over the net. I'm going to try the certification class in April down in Salt Lake.
Here's a fun blog from a lady that works at Copic & she's got some great techniques for getting the most out of your markers - www.ilikemarkers.blogspot.com
Lisa's right - get on it girl - we wanna see what you can do with 'em! *LOL*
{mwah!}
You lucky girl!!! That is awesome! I can't wait to see what you do with them since you are so talented.
