Copic Certified

Well Sunday was the certification class in St. Louis. There were quite a few people there. It was an interesting class and I did learn some nifty things. I all ready knew some of the techniques. But there were a few ah-ha moments. I can't wait to employ some of the new things. And I really can't wait to share what I have learned.

Stuff

Well April is starting off on a mostly good note. The weather has been very nice. A lot of flowers are blooming and the grass has greened up. Last Tuesday my son Mike arrived home from Afghanistan safe and sound. James & Sarah were sure happy to see him. A baby Cole finally got to meet his daddy. John is feeling and doing better. The shop is limping along. The yellow bunny sale is doing well and my visiting customers seem to enjoy the bunny hunt. The copic markers are flying out the door. I am having a hard time keeping them in stock.
Speaking of copic markers I go to St. Louis on Sunday for the certification class. Am looking forward to that.
Right now I am in the middle of doing taxes. I hate it - hate it - hate it. I will be so glad when it is done and over with......

Happy Spring Every Body!!!!!!

I have two fun things for you during the month of April. We will have find the Yellow Bunny Sale and a Bugawump Challenge.
First - Find the Yellow Bunny Sale. There are little yellow bunnies hidden throughout the store.(in the retail area- not the classroom, office or bathroom)
Each one has a discount written on its tummy. Find the bunny get a discount on your total purchase on that day. One discount per person per day. Cannot apply discount to all ready discounted items. Happy Hunting! And shopping!!!!!!


The Bugawump Challenge: Use any Bugawump stamp with any dimensional product that I sell to create a card. Examples of dimensional product would be embossing powder, stickles, brads, liquid applique, fantasy fibers, pedal puffs, punched shapes or embossing paste. Anything that would be raised above the surface of the card. So popping up an image with foam tape would count too. Put your name and contact info on the back of the card. Bring your finished creation to the Artfull Hand for display. You will receive a coupon for 10% off of your total purchase for that day. You may bring me one card per day and receive a discount for that day. During the month of April ALL Bugawump stamps will be on sale for 33% off of price marked. You may use any bugawump stamp that you all ready own. You don't have to buy a new one. But that would be nice if you did.
