Cheap alternative to Copic markers


Imagine my delight when I happened upon this blog by Jacquie video

I found this on Friday, high-tailed it on down to Staples and got my package of 36 markers for only $19.99 and have been a coloring maniac ever since!
(Yesterday, I was in a stamp store with DH and I showwed him the price of one Copic marker was $5.99 and he was soooooo glad that I got the BICs instead.)
Appearantly, the Sharpie markers work the same too. Be sure to check out Jacquie's video and blog because she is the expert and tells a lot about them all.

Woo hoo! I am so glad you found a cheaper alternative. This is happy news! Shhh... Don't tell my hubby, cause I have another order out for some more copics and I am not telling him there is a cheaper alternative. I have to have them all match now that I started this expensive road! Now go color some more and come back and show me! :)

Your coloring is gorgeous! I may just have to add these to my list when I start back to school shopping for the kids. Love how bright some of the colors are.

WOW...how awesome to share her blog for that video! Now I have a reason to break out my Sharpies other than for poster boards for DD's school banners! Thanks for sharing Meg!
