I got mine today too! I have a workshop (my first) to prepare for this weekend so I can't really play yet but I've picked up everything else for the Magic Colored Pencil technique so I can't wait to play!
Have fun with them!!! I never knew how great they were until I got mine just after Chrismas, now I don't want to color with anything else! They are fabulous, soft, blendable, a joy to use!! Go out and play!!!
I've got all of the necessary supplies to get started, except the pencils! I should be getting mine tomorrow.
You mean we have to sharpen them? That makes me nervous because I always seem to have problems sharpening pencils! I usually end up with about 2 inches of pencil left.
I opened the door before Matt even got to the bell. (YES! I am on a first name basis with my UPS man.) He laughed and said, "its not even from stampin' up and you are practically chasing me down!"
I tore those pencils open quicker than you can say Viking. I sat and oohh and ahhed over them for half an hour. I took each tray out and straitened them since they'd gotten kind of messed up in shipping..They smell so...so ...so...
artzy!!!! Now I just have to wait for my 'stumps' which won't be here until the end of the week. I live in smallsville USA and no one around here had them of course.
What a steal! Enjoy your new toys girls! Will we all be going to the garage after our kids go to bed to sharpen our pencils????

I received my pencils today as well and was very excited. I had 3 pencils that were not really that good, 2 very bowed and one had a crushed tip. Did anyone here have the same problem? Also, what did you sharpen you pencils with, electric or hand sharpener? I am afraid to use the electric or is that what I should use?
Well, I just called Viking and they wanted to replace them, but I would have to wait, they were on back ordered for 7 days and then add the shipping day so it would be over a week. I asked her to cancel that and I would use them the way they were. Because I did not exchange them and I had a problem, they are going to give me 10% off my next purchase for the inconvience. They are certainly a great company to deal with, I did not expect that at all.
I'm expecting mine today. I went to Michaels this morning to get all my supplies...... and of course, just had to pick up a couple of other things!! :lol:
