My second piece of good news was about the Cincinnati Retreat, and my third piece of good news is very closely related. One of the great things about our Cincinnati retreats is that everyone seems to be on one or more design teams, so we get to play with each others' goodies!
(Okay, that sounded NOT quite right, but I think y'all know what I mean.)
Probably the best thing I got to play with was Spectrum Noir's new line of blendable colored pencils, thanks to Mary Dawn Quirindongo's being on the Crafter's Companion DT. Colored pencils are my favorite coloring medium, so you know I was all over those babies! This line of pencils is brand new, and there are five different collections with 24 different colors per tin, so we're talking a lot of choices! I had some fabulous results which I will be posting soon.
Okay, long story short, Mary Dawn really liked what I did with the pencils, so she contacted Taylor Usry, the Social Media Manager for Crafter's Companion and Spectrum Noir, and Taylor emailed me that she had sent me a box of the entire Spectrum Noir product line - both pencils AND markers.
The entire product line.
I thought that had to be a mistake... and then the parcel arrived.
Oh, my stars and garters, Mother of Pearl, and Mercy, Mercy, Maude!
Not only did she send me all of the markers (150) and pencils (120), she sent me the stackable tray marker holders, a DVD, premium cardstock, replacement nibs, paper stumps, a sanding block for same, and their pencil sharpener!
So how cool is that?
I'm so excited to play with all of it, I don't know which thing to grab first!
And if that's the hardest choice I have to make this week... I can live with that.
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
Deborah
