Get a Fine Art Print for Less Than Five Dollars!

I don't know if you have seen the prices of greeting cards of late, but many cost $5 to $8 for a decent one, and the card face is not always that great or has the wrong message. Well you can get a quality greeting card with a print of my fine art painting on it for under $5, or one of my photography pieces, send your own personalized message in it, and the great thing about it, is the art printed on the card doubles as a small 5x7 piece that can be framed, by the person receiving the card, or for even yourself. Mother's Day is coming up soon. This is one of my printed paintings of peachy roses I bought for my own mother one year, who really liked it. Another plus is that my 3D style really makes a flat printed card look like better quality. And their card configuration tool lets you not only adjust the image where you like it on the card, but adjust zoom, and lets you rotate it & not look weird for those certain images that go off the border. http://fineartamerica.com/featured/peachy-roses-taking-form-ruth-collis.html

Rewarding Yourself

Do you Reward Yourself?

How do you treat yourself? When you made an accomplishment, how do you celebrate? When you stuck through a grueling day, or went through something painful, how do YOU say "I deserve this wonderful thing!"?
