What's Inside the October 2007 Issue of PaintWorks

Inside this Issue — October 2007

August 2007 Issue Autumn Arrives!

In this issue, we have a variety of designs that reflect the vibrant color colors of autumn, as well as some special treats for Halloween. There’s something to go with most everyone’s decor—choose from landscapes, wildlife, fruits and vegetables, and more.

Now is also the perfect time to begin collecting painting surfaces for holiday gifts and festivities. Between August and the end of November you can plan, collect, and paint extra-special items for family and friends, eliminating the stress of having to run out and purchase last-minute gifts. Sounds like a great idea!

Garage sales, thrift shops, and rummage sales offer reasonably-priced merchandise. You’ll be amazed at what fun surfaces these treasure hunts will produce!

Happy fall!
