Subject: Birth Announcement, from Gifts With A Heart.

We are proud and excited to announce the Birth of Adventures In Art - PRO! 

 Adventures In Art - PRO does everything our any of our previous software versions did, including the old DOS "Names & Faces".  Specifically exciting:

• The Name lookups for the odd spelling;  Adventures In Art - PRO has our most advanced look-ups thus far released.  This, in addition to updated and edited data.
• They prefer the DOS Names & Faces product layout, where the Trait Label was smaller than the Trait Line itself.  Making it more artistically balanced on the art print.

These are just two of the many new surprises waiting for you in Adventures In Art - PRO.

In a nutshell Adventures In Art :

• Will do everything all our past software would do, plus a whole lot more.
• Print on pre-printed art prints, as well as be able to print the art itself, in any size, directly out of the software.
• Use warrants you already have for the Names & Poems.
• There are two versions of Adventures In Art , Basic and Pro
• Cost of Basic is FREE with  $299 Supply starter pack. (Basic version comes with 100 free art uses)
• Cost of PRO version is $899 till this weekend, OCT. 3.
• Mat-N-Art feature will work in either Basic or PRO version
• Mat-N-Art feature does not charge an art royalty to print the mat background.
• Mat-N-Art feature requires a Mat-N-Art art library which is FREE with the PRO version, or one time fee of $299 for Basic version.
  

Revolutionary Approach
Many of us have long awaited the birth of this revolutionary approach to custom personalization. We, at Gifts With A Heart, have been over five years planning, designing, licensing art, coding and creating Adventures In Art - PRO.  Some of you have been personally involved and supportive, by submitting your ideas, wish lists, data fixes, and as well as support financially, though your pre-purchase of this product.  To all of you goes our appreciation for your help and support which has made this day come.

Today, I had one of my best yearly fairs, which I always go to and sell at. I first did this show over twenty years ago!  I canceled doing it today, in order to make this announcement and complete my preparations for this release.  There is so much to do today to complete the announcement web pages, and also work on the art libraries. I will be concise here.

Our condolences go out to all those who, will not be joining us in this new era of personalized gift creation. 

Annual Labor Day Sale Postponed!

Each Labor Day for many years we have had our Annual Labor Day Sale, in order to help you stock up for the Christmas selling season.  This year we have something even bigger and better coming very, very soon.  This NEW/Re-introduction will be the biggest ever! Therefore we decided to postpone the Annual Labor Day Sale and do both promotions together.
