Last Saturday, I was at my local scrapbook store that just happens to be owned by a friend of mine. After standing at the copic rack for 30 minutes or more trying to figure out how the stink to figure out the numbering system, lol, I decided to give up figuring and just get one of each pastel color .. so 1 green, 1 blue, 1 pink etc etc. My friend, and the owner, happened to walk by so I told her what I was doing. The look of horror on her face told me that this was a big no-no. So I ask what I was suppose to do because I didn’t have a clue how they worked. Well, just my luck that there was a free class scheduled to happen about an hour later. So I grabbed a few markers in 1 color tone with her help (because you needed 3 for the class), paid for them and went to grab a tea while I waited for the class to start. 
Can I just tell you now that I love COPICS!! After the class was over I came home to try my hand at coloring one of my Tilda stamps. I think I did a pretty decent job, lol. I can only imagine the $$’s I’ll be spending now trying to build my copic collection up! (just don’t tell my hubby, lol)
