Still thinking?
Ya, I gotcha!
To be honest, as much as I love taking photos, I am the worst for actually printing and hanging them. In fact, the last time I printed a photo was for this:
If you have been following my family, you would know that these pictures - currently adorning the front hallway of my home - are from almost 5 years ago. That's right. The last time I printed a picture was 5 years ago. Oof.
I suppose it is merely the digital age that we live in but it seems so passé to even consider printing out our photos. And yet, having photos on display is one of the things that gives me immense joy each and every day. I love seeing those happy memories in full view - the ones that make you smile each time you see them.
For me, one of those pictures is this selfie (shocker!) that my family took while we were our on a boat during a week that we rented a cottage this summer.
I don't know that the picture itself is particularly amazing, but the memories that it brings back are absolute perfection. A week of sun and sand, boating on the water, swimming off the dock, bonfires & marshmallows. It was a week of connectivity and togetherness that really made an otherwise boring summer something to remember fondly - one of those family times that made us all a little more connected.
I knew I wanted to print out this memory but, again more honesty, the chances of me running out to the store to print it, finding the perfect frame and getting it up on the wall are pretty slim. And so I just tucked it away digitally...until I heard of Canvas Factory.
Here's what I love [and truthfully exactly what I need if I am ever going to print out my photos!]:
1) Canvas Factory allows you to choose your digital photos for printing SO EASILY (you can even choose from Facebook or Instagram... that's such a bonus for this social photo sharing mama!)
2) I was able to order my canvas ONLINE with a few clicks of my mouse. REALLY. It was so easy!
3) It comes ready to hang. I don't have to search for a frame that's the right size.
4) The canvas is such high quality. It is wrapped beautifully and the colour quality is perfection.
Perfectly wrapped - no corners sticking out or distracting from the awesomeness of this photo! |
Easy to hang! I promise... I did it MYSELF (and that never happens at my house!) |
So, in reality, it takes the excuses out of not printing your photos because Canvas Factory has made it so uber-easy to get your precious memories wall-worthy in just a few clicks of a button. AND they have built-in filters and options that make this selfie-queen's heart sing!!
Now my precious cottage memory now hangs proudly in my upstairs hallway, right between my kids' bedrooms. A space that has been vacant of anything for the entire 6 years we have lived in our home!
I get to pass it multiple times each day and each time it puts a smile on my face [and it puts a smile of the faces of my boys as well]. I am not sure what took me so long, but I'm so, so, so glad I finally got around to not just printing but also hanging our family photos!
And now I want the same for you!
Thanks to Canvas Factory, one lucky winner [Canada & US only] will be getting their own Canvas Factory print to proudly display in their home. Let's get printing and displaying those memories!!!
I know you will love your Canvas Factory print - and cherish those memories everytime you look at them - just as much as I do.

ReplyDeleteI printed my vacation photos last summer
ReplyDeleteI printed a photo from my wedding - a candid shot of my dad smiling as he hugged my mom. He passed away shortly after, suddenly and unexpectedly. I gave this canvas to my mom for her birthday. I just had a baby, and would love to have a big grinning photo of her to give my mom for Christmas!

ReplyDeleteI have never done it
ReplyDeleteAbout 7 months ago after my wedding
ReplyDeleteI have started framing and hanging things. It took me a long time to get from someday maybe to actually doing it. Last week. I am on a roll and hope to continue. The key is to get 'easy' hangers for the pictures--that saves a lot of the heart ache.
ReplyDeletetoo long ago (around 2 yrs!)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely has been quite a while actually! My mother in law was the last one to print photos and get them framed for us and that was 8 months ago

I has honestly been a few years now. I have so many pictures that I need to get printed but just haven't gotten around to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this post on virtual secretary services.
ReplyDeleteGetting a good night’s sleep is essential to staying happy and healthy. But buying a mattress without doing your research first can lead to sleepless nights and achy mornings, if you aren’t sleeping on a supportive base. And mattresses can cost anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands, so you’ll want to make sure your chosen mattress is worth the investment, before you buy.
