Even in tough economic times, we need to do nice things for ourselves. One of the best things you can do is enhance your home, your creativity, and your sense of well-being by purchasing fine art. A painting, a drawing, a print, a photograph -- there is art available out there that's within your budget (even your stingy-binge budget). The best thing is that it lasts. If it speaks to you, it won't go out of style, and it won't wear out. Go ahead and treat yourself!
