Well, one day as I shopped at a local scrapbook store I was tempted to get the one that's always sold out on oozak.com. I paid $5.95 for E000 and had no regrets in doing so. (The website sells them for $4.13 with free shipping after $50).
Anyway, as my husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day this past Saturday (2/12) he mentioned that he wanted to get me 2 or 3 copic markers to get me started on being able to color in at least a face on the stamped image... Sunday after church we headed straight to my LSS and I picked out anything I wanted. I got 4 copics and a stippling brush because I recently saw a very cute technique by Sharon "SMSCRAPPER" on youtube and wanted to try it out also.
I didn't go crazy, just got those 5 things. I can't wait to get my check to really go crazy. I have to get the markers and also the white storage cubes that were created for them. Once that's all purchased and my room is organized (closet, curtains, etc.), I will surely record an updated scrapbook room video.
Since I moved to a 3 story townhouse in April, planned a shower for September, had a baby in October, decorated the house for Christmas and finally got Giovanni on a feeding & sleeping schedule, I have not had time to really organize my room the way it should be and to record a video. Hopefully by the early spring I can get all this done.Above is the photo of my first 5 copic markers taken from the 2nd window of my scraproom to get a clear photo. I'm so proud of my humble bunch! LOL
E000, E00, E02, E21 & R20. I wanted E11, but it was SOLD OUT!!!
Happy Valentine's Day!!

Well, you're on your way. Still haven't broke down and bought any myself. One of these days I too will write about my first set on my blog. Happy crafting hun.
After reading your blog I'm glad that you have started your Copic collection. I would love to buy them but at 8-12 Australia dollars each its a bit much, so I will wait until I can afford to buy them from the States.
Happy Day

Congratts!! Copics are so addicting!! I have over 140 in just 8 months. I buy the ciao ones for colors that I like but don't love and it has helped me grow my stash. Oozak.com is the best.
