Can you believe it's only two months to Halloween?...my second favorite holiday next to Christmas! Anyone that knows me personally will tell you that I love to decorate for Halloween.  Just today I started yanking boxes brimming with Halloween decorations out of my storage shed.  I just love decking out my house and yard with spooky decor and decorating earlier gives me more time to enjoy my hard work.

Baking is another hobby of mine I really enjoy during the Fall.  About twice a week you can find me in my kitchen baking up something delicious; usually Halloween-themed with apple or pumpkin in it. I also love trying out old and new recipes for the upcoming holiday.  Nothing beats the aroma of freshly baked goodies cookies wafting through the house on a cool Autumn day.

I also enjoy sitting down with the family and watching a good spooky film while enjoying a freshly baked treat.

So as a participant in the 'A Haunted Halloween Giveaway Hop,' I've put together a fun Halloween-themed prize pack valued at over $40!

One lucky winner will win all of the prizes listed below:

  • Wilton Halloween Cookie Shapes Pan (ARV $11.99)

Why I Love Easy Canvas Prints Review {Giveaway Coming Soon!} #sponsored

Disclosure: I received one or more items at no cost to me to facilitate in this review. No other compensation was received. All opinions expressed are 100% mine.

Having raised two young men, I'm very aware of  how important it is to take lots of photos to capture those precious moments before they slip away.  Time has flown by so quickly because it seems like just yesterday I was changing my boys diapers!  Now my son's are all grown up with children of their own to make memories with. 
 
Even though I do miss those baby days with my son's sometimes, being a grandmother of two beautiful little girls is very rewarding.  These days, there is nothing that I enjoy more than taking photos of my granddaughter's, and like a typical proud grandmother, I love displaying those photos on my walls for all to see.  So you can just imagine how thrilled I was when I was contacted by Easy Canvas Prints and asked to review one of their 16 x 20 single canvas prints, which also happens to also be their most popular.

 Wall Displays from Easy Canvas Prints

Being more than eager to add to my canvas print collection, I got started using their printing service right away.  Easy Canvas Prints convenient canvas creator allowed me to upload and preview several photos.  I could also access PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, and TIF files saved on my computer, from Facebook, or everyone's favorite app...Instagram!  The Autofit feature on the canvas creator let me resize images, upload new photos, or start over at any time till I decided on the photo I wanted to use for my 16 x 20 canvas print.

With a photo uploaded, I was able to choose the canvas wrap thickness I wanted.  Three options were available and I ended up choosing the .75" Standard Wrap at no extra cost to me.  The 1.5" Gallery Wrap and Framed options are available for an additional cost.

During the design process, I also noticed helpful tips displayed at the top of each page as I created my canvas masterpiece.


 Canvas Creator from Easy Canvas Prints

While designing, I was able to preview and size my canvas and choose from three border options.  The border options included mirror image, image wrap, and border color and were all included in the canvas print price.  For my canvas print, I chose the mirror image option.

There were other options available such as color finishing which included Sepia and Black & White for an additional cost.  This is a convenient option if you like giving photos a vintage look.  For those with damaged or older photos, Easy Canvas Prints also offers an image retouching service.  The cost of this service is dependent on how much retouching is needed.

The following day after placing my order, a polite Easy Canvas Prints representative contacted me via email to let me know the photo I had chosen didn't have enough resolution and would likely end up looking grainy on a canvas of that size.  Not wanting a grainy canvas print, I was happy to have been notified and ending up using a different photo with higher resolution that would work on such a large canvas.  

Original Photo

16x20 Print I received from Easy Canvas Prints

When the package containing the print was shipped, I received an email with tracking info and was able to track it's movements via UPS.  The canvas print arrived within a week or so after shipping in a well packaged box and the print well protected.  Being a grandmother, I could barely contain my joy when I saw one of my favorite photos of my adorable granddaughter come to life on this canvas print.

I'm very happy with the look and quality of the canvas print I received from Easy Canvas Prints and very thankful for the good customer service I received.  Their customer service was quick, courteous, and professional..all the things I look for in a business and good customer service from a company is important to me if they want to keep my business.  On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Easy Canvas Prints an eleven for fast and friendly service.  

Would I use Easy Canvas Prints again?  Absolutely!

Go Back-to-School with Flattenme {Review & Giveaway} #Sponsored

Disclosure: I received one or more items at no cost to me to facilitate in this review. No other compensation was received. All opinions expressed are 100% mine.

It's mid-August and every parent with kids and teens knows what that means.  It's time to start shopping around for back-to-school items and supplies.  As parents of school-aged children know, most major retailers carry loads of basic school supplies but not many carry truly fun or unique items for kids. I'm talking about items that stand out from the crowd.

This is where flattenme.com comes in.  This online business specializes in uniquely personalized items and gifts for kids.  On their website you will find an assortment of fun photo items, including custom books, t-shirts, journals, BPA free water bottles and more that are perfect for back-to-school.  Flattenme's unique products have also been featured in popular media like Oprah's Gift Guide and television shows like The View and Good Morning America. 

For this review, I chose one of flattenme's featured 'Back-to-School' items; the 8 x 11 custom ABC & 123 Book from their selection of photo books.  The ABC & 123 Book from flattenme.com arrived within a week of being ordered wrapped in protective cellophane.  Through the cellophane, I could see my granddaughter's photo on the cover (as a cute little caterpillar) and her name featured underneath in the title.  Looking through the custom photo book, I also noticed that each page featured one or more photos of my granddaughter, including the back cover as well (note the cute little bat below!).  This unique book is whimsical, fun, and educational and perfect for my soon-to-be preschooler granddaughter.


The visual presentation in this book is fantastic and so much more detailed than I expected!  I am so impressed with the ABC & 123 flattenme book!  Each page is a work of art and exceptionally well done and already a cherished keepsake my family and I will hold onto.  The illustrations are vibrant and colorful and combined with the educational factor, it makes learning fun for kids.  This back-to-school book is sure to be lots of fun for little one's eager to learn!


Back-To-School learning made fun!

In the above photos you can see just a few of the colorful illustrations I found inside this personalized custom photo book from flattenme.  Each starring my granddaughter! The entire book is pretty amazing but I must admit the 'under the sea' theme is my favorite!

Featured Back-To-School products from flattenme.com include:

*BPA Free Personalized Water Bottles
*Custom Photo T-Shirts you can design
*Photo Books like the one I reviewed!



Would you like a Discount to save on those unique Back-To-School items?
