Play Day at Art 'n Soul is tomorrow . . . anytime between 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Bring whatever it is you're working on . . . or want to work on . . . and immerse yourself into 'artsy creativity' at the store while enjoying the friendship of others also working on their creations.

The 12 Days of Christmas at Art 'n Soul is getting close to the end! The big drawing is on Sunday at 12:00 Noon when the store opens. For Friday . . .

On the tenth day of Christmas (12/21/12), my Art ‘n Soul gave to me, 15% off my whole purchase.

Alissa felt like it was "Christmas Early" when she opened the Magenta box. Come on in and take a look . . . hopefully, you'll see something you just have to have -- or something you know a friend would love to add to their stamp collection -- and take advantage of today's 10th Day of Christmas special!

We are now drooling over the sneak peek of new dies that Memory Box and Poppystamps are releasing right after the first of the year. Wait until you see the 100 new dies and stamps, mostly dies! This may urge you to 'insist' that an Art 'n Soul Gift Certificate is under the tree or in your stocking this year because you're going to want these dies! As soon as we are able to share them with you, we will!

Speaking of Poppystamps, I loved this card shown on their blog.

I've banished the Mayan calendar from my world; have you?
