A New Season

A new season is finally here!  I have been waiting out the heat, hoping for cooler weather.  The fall weather has been such a nice break from the humid heat.  It makes me want to start decorating for the holidays.  We have been baking pumpkin bread almost every week for the past month.  I was kind of going through a design hiatus.  Blogs were beginning to post fall items and I just wasn't feeling it.  With this change in weather, my design groove is back on track.  I hope you enjoy these backgrounds!

{Product Review}

I am really excited today to share with you our first ever product review on Blogs and Blings.  When I was contacted by this company I was really excited to participate since I love photography.  Without further ado, let me introduce you to EASY CANVAS PRINTS.

Have you ever wanted to have your favorite pictures on canvas? Well now is your chance!  This site was very easy to use.  Your choices are clearly outlined and within a few clicks of your mouse your picture is transferred to a canvas and mailed to your home.

Thanks to the great people at Easy Canvas Prints, my canvas came fast and now it sits perched in the alcove along my stairs.  Everytime I walk up or down my stairs it makes me smile.  How could it not?  It's a beautiful piece of artwork of five of my favorite people in the world.  I was really worried about how the color would turn out since some pictures I have had made online haven't been true to color.  I was really pleased that the color in this canvas looked exactly like the picture when I sent it from my computer.

They often have sales and deals on their website too!  If you are interested in having some great art made from your pictures, check out EASY CANVAS PRINTS.
