Easy Canvas Prints Update

On Friday I received my package from Easy Canvas Prints, which included my custom photo canvas — the picture of my children that I’m going to continue posting over and over on this blog until a few months from now when I realized that they’ve all changed again and I need yet another picture where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera.

Yo. It’s us Cincos again.

The package was wrapped well with a note to OPEN WITH CARE on the outside. Of course my kids immediately brought me a giant fish-gutting knife/machete and wanted to start hacking away. Sorry, kids. I opened with care and saw my 8×10 custom photo canvas:

BEHOLD!

My camera seems to have made it a little darker and more red than it actually looks in real life. I couldn’t use the flash because it created a glare.

My children! My favorite booster seat! My front porch! All captured forever and ever on a custom photo canvas, thanks to Easy Canvas Prints.

Seriously, it’s gorgeous. Really beautifully done, really well made and I’m really happy with it. Also, now that I’m a fan of Easy Canvas Prints on Facebook I get awesome coupons for great deals. I recommend the company highly and the product too. In my last post about Easy Canvas Prints, I wrote about how easy it was to navigate the website and order a custom photo canvas. The next time you need a custom photo gift for someone — or yourself! — consider Easy Canvas Prints.

And now for another recommendation: this is NOT sponsored content, but a cool item I found when I was wasting time on Amazon recently

It’s a hair brush that looks like a dog brush, but it’s specifically for removing tangles. I bought it at a local beauty supply store, and tried it on My Masterpiece, who has thick hair that gets knotted. She SCREAMED. I was using it wrong. It works perfectly on wet hair — although the instructions say it can be used on either wet or dry hair. Trust me, don’t use it on dry hair. Use it after a shower, or spray your child’s hair with water before using it. I’ve used it on all three girls and it removes tangles — as well as the drama that comes with hair-brushing.

Easy Canvas Prints

This is a big day — I ordered a 8×10 custom photo on canvas from Easy Canvas Prints and the photograph I used includes Cousin It.

Hooray! I’m finally in a picture!

While I am good about taking pics, I’m horrible about printing and framing them. I have a few from when we first moved into our Charlotte house — but of course, My Masterpiece was a baby and Cousin It didn’t exist. They’re old pictures. When someone from Easy Canvas Prints contacted me about sponsoring a post, I said yes immediately emailed back with some questions.

Y’all know, I blog with integrity, so I wanted to make sure I wasn’t putting my name on anything that uses really harsh chemicals or child labor. The only child labor I support is that of my own children, who are currently doing dishes and putting away laundry while I type this. 

Joshua from Easy Canvas Prints responded that they do not use harsh chemicals — nor employ children. Additionally, they have a history of community involvement and donation through their parent company, BuildASign, via Canvas for a Cause. Easy Canvas Prints is also an American-based company; they’re located in Austin.

Today I uploaded this picture (yes, you’ve seen it before, and you’ll continue to see it, because I have five kids and don’t often get a picture of all of them smiling and looking at the camera. I’ll probably use this for the next three or four months or two years)

It was really easy to use the website and upload. There are tons of suggestions if you happen to stumble upon the site and don’t have an artistic vision. I had choices of canvas size, thickness of edges, information about the photograph quality, the wrapping around the frame and an option to add hooks. Check out was a breeze too. Now I just have to wait about a week for the final product!

If you “like” Easy Canvas Prints on Facebook, you’ll get codes for coupons and discounts. Including their Memorial Day Buy One Get One sale with free shipping (Offer expires May 28, so get on it!)

I’ll share more when I get my custom photo canvas, which should be next week.
