Easy Canvas Prints- a review


I had the wonderful opprotunity to do a review for Easy Canvas Prints, a company that will turn your pictures to canvas prints. I have been wanting this particular picture on canvas for years, so I was very excited to have the opprotunity to see it come to life. In our home we have a dedicated spot for all our Ethiopian and other cultural keepsakes and made this striking photo on canvas my focal point. This picture was taken on our first trip to Ethiopia when we brought our first son home and it is such a beautiful and heart breaking encapsulation of the the life there. I used my Cricut to cut the vinyl for my verse above my canvas and am very pleased with how it all came together. The picture quality on the canvas is excellent, no pixelation, just a clear, beautiful photo. The size I chose is 16x20" and I think it's the perfect size, not too big, not too small. It was super easy to hang as well, the canvas comes with the picture hook on the back. I hope you'll go check out Easy Canvas Prints, they have lots of specials going on too! Thanks for stopping by :)

A Card! & cousins

 Oh my! If you couldn't tell I am still trying to get back into crafty mode! I am really starting to miss it. This card I made a bit ago for my MIL who just graduated with another degree. I really love this set from PTI called Harvest Berries. So pretty and really fun with the coordinating die.
Well I couldn't not post a recent pic of the kiddos now could I? Here are my 3 with their 2 cousins :) Such a happy bunch. I am going to be doing a review on a super cool product soon, just finishing up some final touches for it. I love it and know you will too. Hugs...

Finally well and just busy

Everyone is finally all better from that yucky flu they had. So we've been getting back into the groove of homeschool and more "normal" life :)  It is such a joy to have all 3 of my sweeties together and Kai is completely adjusted. He is just a happy boy, sleeping through the night and loves his big brother and sister. We finally got to go to church today and show him off and it does this mommy's heart a lot of good to see that he didn't want anything to do with anyone else :) I am SO thankful for the quick bonding and security is showing. I have been doing a little crafting, more for practical home stuff. Like I just finished a Scripture Memory box. I'll have to take pics and share as I love how it came out. I am also working on making thankful tags for our thankful tree that sits on the dining room table. It's not for the Thanksgiving holiday, but for each day, a designated place to write what we are thankful for so that it is always before us. I'll share that when I get those done too. I hope you are all enjoying the Labor Day weekend! hugs....
