    I Love your color selections, combinations. Wish I had WiFi while I was in Japan so I could purchase COPIC colors you have been using to color your various projects. Just a heads up IF you go to Japan….I found the BEST COPIC price at TOOLS (COPIC Store) located on the 6F of LUMINE EST in Shinjuku near JR Shinjuku Station and walking distance from BLOSSOM Hotel. Tokyu Hands had the next best price.

    So, is there anyone that doesn’t love OCC. I loved the class I took, but I’m doing well sticking to my budget this year! The lily is gorgeous and reminds me of many days spent
    with my parents on the lake!

    Hi Kathy,
    I’m really enjoying this round. I can’t participate, because I’m a teacher and the beginning of school is a lot right now. But I love learning from you and seeing what is being made.
    Blessings,
    Carolyn

    September 19, 2017 at 5:27 pm

    Need this. Funds are low and this win would put me in a crafty mood.

  122. bev p says

    September 19, 2017 at 5:29 pm

    I can’t believe I thought I couldn’t follow along this time, as I have done something almost every day…just as you said, even a few minutes. And I have felt unbelievably stressed on the days I don’t. I haven’t done any of the online card classes, but have wanted to. Thanks to you and to them for giving me a chance at winning a spot. And…one more thought: I think florals are about the most fun of anything to color! Yours are always beautiful, even though I can’t believe what you consider fun to fussy cut. (smile…this is from someone who flunked scissors in kindergarten!)

  123. Shona Chambers says

    September 19, 2017 at 5:33 pm

    Is Merry Making about making Christmas Cards? I plan to join in the Christmas Card volunteer effort – I forget what it is called, but I and my coworkers made 500 cards last year.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 24, 2017 at 1:05 pm

      Yes Barbara, it it Christmas cardmaking. If you’ve never taken a class from OnlineCardClasses.com I cannot recommend them enough!!! Lifetime access and the prices are affordable! PDFs to download, coupon codes to use at stores during the week the class is live….. the list goes on!!!

  127. Francine says

    September 19, 2017 at 6:28 pm

    What a wonderful give away. You must have some good friends. Get the final image to look like I want is always a challenge.. When I think I am doing ok, I look again later and its not. I’m sure a class would help to improve my work.
