Sue's Retirement page

Sue has contributed so much to the store throughout the years she has been with me.  Her talent in so many areas has benefited the store and many of our customers.  The following are really just a few of her projects.  I couldn't begin to show them all here.  Whether they are stamping or scrapbooking designs her creations have been unique and stunning.

As Sue has been our resident Certified Copic teacher this is going to be just one area in which myself as well as our many customers that have taken her class will be sad to see her go.  The kind of information below, that she wanted on the site shows how Sue was willing to share her expertise and time to help her customers.

If you are addicted to Copic Markers, you know that there are over 300
different colours available in ‘Sketch’.
It seems like I want to get all of them BUT when you compare the colours
some seem very close.......my theory is - why buy similar colours when I could
get others that are different!
Thanks to a number of other “Copic Junkies”, we are gradually filling in a
large chart with samples of the colours. (We are still working on this so
please feel free to bring your markers in and share if you haven’t already
done so.) It is much better to actually see the colour than guess from the
copied charts.
With that in mind I have made a list of colours that seem very similar - they
are not exact but I think close enough that you wouldn’t need to buy each
of them. This is just a start at doing something like this so bear with
me.......
Here goes:
BV01 and BV02;
RV02 and RV23;
RV29 and R35;
R02 and E93 and YR01;
R11 and E01,
YR07 and YR68;
Y02 and Y13;
YG99 and G99;
BG01 and B01;
BG32 and BG34;
B28 and B29;
E00 and E51;
E27 and E57;
E33 and E35;
YR00 and E02
I hope that this list continues to be expanded and will be helpful to all of us.
I plan to keep a copy with my ‘purse Copic list’ to compare prior to buying
more markers.

I've lost count on how many events Sue has been a part of, always being there to design her classes and make and takes.  I remember for one event, Sue was away on holidays and flew back to make sure she was there to be apart of it all.  Talk about going that extra mile.

Here's Sue in her Make and Take corners at just some of our events.
