Feast your eyes! My DH designed and handcrafted this Copic cart – I am so excited! (Thanks, sweetie!) My dear friend BeckyTE was the one who got me into Copic markers, and she and I came up with design ideas that my DH used to make one for me and one for Becky. The top portion is a removable tray that holds up to five of the Copic Sketch 72-marker plastic cases. The tray has handles on the front and back for carrying it, and the handles are also useful for moving the entire cart where I want it. It’s two feet high (including the markers), which makes a great height for having it next to me to select the markers and still fits under my work table. The storage area below will hold my air brush compressor and accessories. As I rolled it around the house to find a good place to photograph it, I thought of the next generation of cart – one that has a Roomba base that responds to commands – ha-ha! Seriously, I am so pleased to have this handy cart to use for my Copic markers. Thanks for taking a look!

wow! what a great husband you have and what a wonderful cart! I am sure many women out there will be begging your hubby to make them one too. You can certainly see the time and quality that your husband put into your cart. He's a keeper for sure!

Can you say EXTRA CHRISTMAS MONEY? I think if he starts now he will be ready to sell them for Christmas 2010.
It is very well constructed, and pretty too. LUCKY YOU and Becky Too!

What a wonderful DH....lucky girl you are.....but then again, you deserve it, right!!?? giggle.
How are you?? Hope you renos are done and you get some more time to make some of your wonderful lovely cards. I haven't jumped into the world of Copics yet....they are so darn expensive up here in Canda and just not in the budget right now....they are also not that easy to get here either.
take care my friend, hugs,

So this is the cart you and Becky were talking about. I can see why you're excited about it. Your hubby could probably do well mass producing these! It's beautifully crafted. Lucky you!

Wow! This is fantastic, Cheryl! Almost looks like a mini kitchen cabinet. The fact that the whole top lifts off is wonderful! You two really pooled some great design ideas to come up with this!
