Major achievement this evening. The entire Art 'n Soul staff met over dinner at the Thai House next door (thanks, Susie!) to discuss plans for the store this coming year. All of us were able to participate in the meeting which hasn't happened in quite a while, so we thought we'd take a photo to commemorate the event; this will show you the folks who were at my dining room table last month but left before I could take a picture. We were unanimous that Art 'n Soul has the best team working together to offer customers the best in fine art rubber stamping, paper, ribbon and other art supply products in the northwest.
