No no not CERTIFIABLY....CERTIFIED!!! LOL (although some may argue certifiably works)
Yes I spent ALL DAY WEDNESDAY soaking up a WEALTH of information on COPIC MARKERS!!! My certification class was taught by none other than the illustrious Marianne Walker.
See now Marianne and I have a history...although brief, a very important history....and it goes something like this...
I show up to Winter CHA 2008 with Copics in hand ready for Ellen Hutson to show me FIRST HAND how to make these markers work wonders....Marianne, shows up to Winter CHA to teach a few classes....BUT THE COPIC PALETTE DOES NOT SHOW UP TO CHA!!!! So Marianne has no markers...but she has students...well Marianne knows Ellen, I am rooming with Ellen, Ellen says "Hey my roomie has markers...let me go see if you can use hers till the palette arrives"...I of course say "Sure let me go get them".... I literally RUN to my hotel room and RUN back to the CHA Classrooms Floor, open the door to the classroom where there are TONS of students, Marianne and NO MARKERS! LOL So I hand off my markers and head back to the CHF booth to finish setting up.....
Fast forward to Wednesday morning...I walk into the room - LATE - I thought the class was at 9:30 but it was at 9:00 am! LOL So I walk in at 9:05 with three beautiful huge walletts of Copic markers, the room is filled with students, Marianne and NO MARKERS!!! (there were some gals who brought theirs but Mariannes boxes had not arrived the day they were supposed to so she didn't have markers)...I walk in she realizes a) who I am and b) that I have markers.....we all just laughed and of course HANDED OVER MY MARKERS for the first part of the class until the wonderful UPS man arrived bearing the class kits and all of Marianne's markers! LOL So here are a few pics of the day! LOL
First a photo of me with Broni, Karen and Marianne - We didn't think to take this pic until after Susan left so we were missing our other partner in crime for the day!
Next we have Marianne and I - See I am Copic Certified!!!! WOOHOOO!
And here we have Marianne trying to STEAL MY MARKERS AGAIN...eventhough hers did finally show up!!!!
But really it is all good...cause at the end of the day I was on Mariannes "fave peeps list"... :) Ahhh all is well with the world!!!
