DRUG STORE CANVASES

Did you know that you can get photo canvases at the Drug Store? Well I didn't, until recently when a friend mentioned to me that CVS now offers Gallery Wrapped Canvases. I didn't think much of it because I had been pretty loyal to an online company. But after having a recent issue with them, I thought I would give the Drug Store a try.

I just happened to go to the CVS website one day earlier this month, and they just happened to be running a 25% off special. I had recently taken a way cute pic of my boy's bare feet, and I thought it would be perfect for their bathroom. See...!!

With the 25% off special, I was able to get a 16x20 canvas for under $35. And since I had it shipped to my local store, the shipping was Free! When I went to pick them (yes, them - I ordered two) up today, I was pleasantly Impressed with what I got for the money.

First, the colors were spot on with the original pic (that was the issue I had with the other company).

Second, it was a nice 1.25" thick.

Third, the corners were wrapped Amazingly TIGHT!

And Fourth, the backing was Incredible!! Nicely finished with hangers already attached.

Here's the other one I ordered. I love it's odd size - 12x18 ($27 with special discount). It hangs above the commode.

So, if you are looking for a NICE Gallery Wrapped Canvas... Give CVS a Try!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....

AND to my Husband Marc. Yup, that's right, my husband and I share the same Birthday. However, we do not share the same year. I am totally... "Cukoo, Cachoo, Mrs. Robinson", or in another word - a "Cougar". My hubby is a young 35 today, while I'm an even younger 43.

Anyway, enough about how young I am (NOT).

I wanted to share with you the present I got for my hubby. I finally took advantage of the AMAZING offer from the Canvas People, and got a Free photo printed on Canvas. The promo that they run is for a free 8x10, but I upgraded for $10.00 to the 11x14.

This picture is from our first Crawfish Boil last year. The "Dinner" was putting up quite the fight.

Marc is going to hang it in his office. Right now, it's just sitting on the dresser.

The Canvas People aren't running that particular Promo right now, but they run it quite often, so keep checking back to their website so you can get one of your own.

I also wanted to share with you the creativity of my Husband. I don't know what it is with him, but he does not like to buy cards. I think it's mostly that he just doesn't have the time, but instead, he ALWAYS gives me something from the heart that he writes himself.

This is the "Card" he gave me last night. Love the "Ducks Unlimited" sticker.

Love that he took the time to think about the overall design.

But most of all, I LOVE what he wrote.

He told me when he gave it to me, that it was different from what he was originally going to write. But that after surprising him with a Birthday cake and the Amazing Canvas photo, I had inspired him.
