I recently selected a 36-color kit that would be good for teaching Copic basics and since I'm constantly asked for suggestions of a selection of colors for someone just starting their Copic collection, I thought I'd share those selections. There's a good variety of colors, in 2 and 3-color blending groups that should just about cover most anything a beginner would need to color.
This information will also be listed at the bottom of my blog's Copic Info Page, for easy future reference. This list is a little heavy on pinks, but those are my most favorite colors!!

Now how about something that sparkles?! There is reason to celebrate at Copic as they have added a new sparkle to our team! Her name is JENNIE BLACK! Jennie will be handling all the California and surrounding area Copic Certification classes. So to welcome Jennie and her sparkling personality (sorry for the pun!), Copic is generously giving away a Spica Glitter Pen set (retail value over $30 each!) on each of the designer’s blogs (linked below)!!
Below is a photo of all of us this past week at the Craft & Hobby Association show in Anaheim. We were all there but could never find a time to get us all together for a group photo, so Sally Lynn Photoshopped everyone together ... cracks me up, LOL!
Top row (L-R): Lori Craig, Sally Lynn MacDonald, Sharon Harnist, Debbie Olson
Bottom row (L-R): Nancy Zenke (our very organized office team coordinator!), Sherrie Siemens, Marianne Walker, Jennie Black, Colleen Schaan.
All you have to do to be entered for the chance to win the glitter pen set (your choice of either set A or set B) is leave a comment on this post by Friday, February 5 at 10pm CST and I will let Random.org pick a winner and post it on Saturday morning. Please only one entry per person per blog (yes, you can enter on each of our blogs!) Good luck & welcome to Jennie!!
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED, THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
