 Hi everyone,

We have a huge weekend planned for you starting with Demo Day on Saturday (Demo Day rewind is scheduled for Friday June 22nd, All day.) We will be closing at 6:00 PM on Saturday.  Sunday, Lisa Hetrick has lots of ladies joining her for Copic 101 and 102. 

Here is a little Message from Lisa - If you are joining us for Copic 101 and/or 102 this Sunday, and you own markers... please bring them. We will not have enough sets for each person to play with without sharing. And, for 102, please bring a Colorless Blender. We have a full house of COLORISTA's and we're going to have some serious coloring fun. 101 begins promptly at 1:00. Looking forward to spending the day with everyone! -Lisa Hetrick
