First of all I wanted to get the word out that Art Essentials is having a huge canvas sale. When I was there yesterday pre-stretched canvases were 50% off!! Make sure to get in there before they are all gone.

Secondly, the Art From Scrap monthly news letter appeared in my inbox today, and I wanted to make sure to get the word out about this very interesting discussion that will take place at Design With Reach TONIGHT. There is an email near the bottom of the info below for RSVPing. If you make it to the talk tonight and would like to let us know what you thought, please come back here to post your comments.
