Calling all Copic Marker Fans

If you are new to copic markers, here is a great chart for you!  Justrite has compile a chart that combines trios, quads and individual marker combinations.  It is a great guide to use when selecting colour shades and highlights in the same family.

My cousin passed this info along to me, and she got it from one of her card making gurus!  It could save you some money when selecting your copics.   I know the mistake I made was to choose "the pretty ones" that I liked instead of buying "families" of colours.  

Here's the link and thank you Carol and Bonita!

More Copic Cards

I just love copic markers!  Here are three cards I made at a class hosted by Memory Keepers on Hamilton Mountain.  Dawn designed and coached as we made these three cards!  I love them and they are too pretty to give away.  Now I feel the need to invest in more copic markers ... I wonder which came first, the markers or the cards .... mmmmm.

18 Scrapbooks for Beverly Central's Grade One Class

Math was never my strong suit.  When Megan's grade one teacher asked me to design a scrapbook for each of her grade one's to put their memories in, I though sure.  How hard can that be? She was very flexible on the design and content and would leave that part up to me.

The sample scrapbook went together very quickly and Mrs. B loved the concept.  We set a deadline and off I went.  What I forgot, is that one book assembly is pretty quick, but 18 books is a marathon session.  40 hours, 6 bottles of glue (the good stuff @ $7.00/bottle), stacks of paper and one cricuit sheet later, the books were done.  Fortunately I had left the "fun" decorating/embellishing part until the end or I might still be working on them!

They were definitely a labour of love, but Megan got first choice and everyone thinks her mom is the best!  Crafty Mom, as I am affectionately known at the school, is really happy with the result and I know the kids will love working on them and that makes the effort all worthwhile!

How Many Fellas Does It Take to Change a Water Filter?

The answer is three.

My father passed away seven years ago and my youngest brother lives with my mother. Yes, he's in his 40's, a confirmed bachelor, godfather to my daughters and one of the most OCD people you'll ever meet.  But, to his defense, he does look after my mother and helps her live independently by taking care of the heavy house work, yard work and is her personal chauffeur.  I love him to bits, but the one thing Phil is not good at is anything that would fall in to the "handy man dept."  


As a matter of fact, the "handy man" gene is missing from both of my brothers' DNA.  My husband is oozing with that gene.  Alf is a millwright and loves to tinker and fix stuff.  My brothers, on the other hand, try to assemble things and have parts left over (they inherited that from my father.)


One afternoon, Todd (brother one) and Phil (mom's homeboy) decided to change the water filter.  They had changed the filter before, but somehow during the installation they managed to block the water flow completely.  Phil, had my mother call the plumber/water treatment folks (sensing a $150 service call, so much for saving a few dollars by doing it yourself!)  Todd just left and went home, perplexed and leaving Phil to deal with the situation.


When Phil came over to our house (we live just across the road) to get water to flush the toilets.  Given our gene pool and based on past experience,  I dispatched my husband, aka MacGyver, to rescue the water-less pair.


Turns out, the boys put the filter in backwards.  Service call averted.  Water restored.  Result thanks to Alf! Now Mr. MacGyver ... can you assemble a liposuction machine for me with some paperclips, string and duct tape?  My diet isn't working very well!
