phoenix: Clearly Prices ARE MOVING UP... TIME TO SELL!!! - 03/16/12 03:45 AM

During the first weeks of January, our team was putting together what would be our first newsletter. We started out with a few ideas and it rapidly snowballed into a great publication. We did some research on the best ways to print it so it would look as nice as we wanted it to and after a couple of days editing, we had our final product.
