LuminArte 40% off sale

LuminArte, the company that makes the twinkling H2Os that i paint with, is going out of business. all of their products have been marked down 40%, even though it doesn't say this on their website. they sent an e-mail to their customers on friday with this information... the sale isn't limited to recipients of the e-mail -- anyone can take advantage of these savings. i love these paints because they're highly pigmented and most colors have no 'chalkiness' (i don't know what the proper term is here), so you can blend to your heart's content and not get muddy colors.

below are my color sheets (i did not make these; i was not that smart. my friend leigh did and i am forever grateful to her!) -- it gives you a bit of an idea of what some of the colors look like.

if you want to order but feel hesitant because the 40% off price isn't reflected on their website, you can always call...

edited to add:
if you order online the 40% off price isn't reflected on the invoice that you receive via e-mail, so i'll post the response that i got from customer service when i asked about that.

Dear Lynne~ Yes, we will take the discount off when we get the orders off of the
website... Best, Courtney

    lol, jeane! no, i only bought about 15 colors -- my favs. it *was* a bit of a shock to find out that they're going out of business, but i'm trusting that a new perfect paint will present itself. : )

    Ugh, that sucks, I love the Twinkling H2os. The good thing is, they last forever, so if we stock up now....
