Miss R is into manga in a big way.  Apparently the markers to use are copic markers and the other day she dove in head first.  She bought herself an instruction and idea book and three markers.  Yesterday she bought five more after an Internet search determined that the best place to buy them is our local Daniel Smith art store (aka heaven on earth for me).  They are expensive ($5.20 each) so she is dipping into her birthday money that she set aside.  She has been tucked away in her room drawing ever since.

Now my little partner in crime not only wants to go to Shipwreck Beads every time we head south, but she also wants to visit the art supply store.  Big trouble.  Yay.
