BUT if you place that order through your consultant (that would be me ;) as a separate "workshop" (where you are the sole attendee) you can also collect the hosting rewards totaling 45 points. That's a TOTAL of 310 points for only $200!

You can use your publishing points toward ANY project from gallery wrapped canvases to greeting cards to calendars. Here are just a few ideas of how you can use your publishing points:

Happy Labor Day!

Did you know?

The first Labor Day in the United States was celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York City. In the aftermath of the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the U.S. Military and U.S. Marshals during the 1894 Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland put reconciliation with Labor as a top political priority. Fearing further conflict, legislation making Labor Day a national holiday was rushed through Congress unanimously and signed into law a mere six days after the end of the strike. Cleveland was also concerned that aligning an American labor holiday with existing international May Day celebrations would stir up negative emotions linked to the Haymarket Affair. All 50 U.S. states have made Labor Day a state holiday.     

In U.S. sports, Labor Day marks the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons. NCAA teams usually play their first games the week before Labor Day, with the NFL traditionally playing their first game the Thursday following Labor Day. The Southern 500 NASCAR auto race was held that day from 1950 to 2004.

Enjoy this day with your friends and family!
