Back in Business...

This is a picture of what I'm calling The Card Castle North.  I really can't call it a Castle anymore can I? Can you believe it? After being accustomed to having a whole room in which to create, this is all I brought with me!!?? This is where the true test of creativity begins. LOL!  :)  
So far, I have made a few cards but I've mostly done a lot of coloring.  This has been an amazingly crazy and busy month. I have to be honest and say that the Copics are really growing on me as I get better with manipulating and shading the colors.  I'll tell you a secret if you promise not to tell Color Pencils (what I call my collection of colored pencils). Sometimes I prefer the look I can get with the markers.  shhhh!!!! Color Pencils and I go way back so I have to be careful not to offend. :) 
I think I'm ready to start developing coloring classes with the markers and color pencils, but, I wonder if there is any interest here in MI... We will soon see. ;)
That's all I'm going to share for today because I have BIG PLANS! Seriously? It's World Card Making Day and I've announced to my family that I'm going to be making cards today. Truth be told, it would be much better for me if WCMD was on a work/school day when everyone is gone! I don't have a room with a door that I can close and cut myself off from real life.  So today, if I get anything accomplished, it will be a miracle! I'm just realizing that the best part about having a room is the door... just kidding... not! 
I will be back with a post showing you my successful card-filled day. Be blessed!

I think a color pencil-marker class would be great! About what part of MI do you live in? I'm just outside of Chicago.

I had a very small crafting space until my son moved out. I saved a lot of money with the smaller space because I didn't have the space to store much. :) Bet my husband wishes I still had the smaller space. Where'd you get the cute Copic holder? I like it!
