I have wanted a wrapped canvas forever and a day.
When DrewB took this picture of my girlies I knew that
someday it was destined to become the canvas of my dreams.
The wall above the fireplace was sad and lonely.
Taunting me.
Screaming for a big canvas of cuteness.
Each day I would stare at the blank wall.
Dream that a magical fairy would grant my wishes.
Guess what showed up on my birthday?
Guess who was screaming,
shaking, crying, freaking out?
The best picture.
The perfect place.
Happiness.
Besides my girls... guess what is my fave?
How rad are these edges????
I just stare at them.
They amaze me.
Every single bit of it amazes me.
But guess what is even more amazing?
The kind and generous folks at
want to give a
20X24 Gallery Wrapped Canvas
to one of you!!!
For reals.
But not here. Nope. Better than here.
For water.
To save another village.
We are so close.
Each and every dream has been exceeded.
The second well is nearly funded.
No reason to stop now.
Plus, I will let you in on another secret...
See Janey's stocking up there? Is it bugging you that it doesn't match? Well it's fake. I haven't made hers yet (too busy waiting for water to boil) and it was making me CRAZY seeing an empty stocking holder in the picture. So I doctored it up at Picnik. Don't tell. A year of Picnik premium is part of the bonus bundle too. Just in case you don't get to finish your stockings either. Fake it until you make it. Literally. Just saying.
I totally noticed the stocking. But just because I have 3 and some things in our house don't match like that & it bugs me to no end! Lovely picture! I'm totally jealous! In the very most Christian sense of the word of course.
ReplyDeleteYay for the bonus bundle! I cannot believe that canvas!
ReplyDeleteCamden still uses her PBK 1st Christmas stocking cause I can never get it together to buy her a big girl one to match Chloe & Chayse's.
Happy birthday Julie! I hope your day is full of blessings! And that pic is RAD!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful!! Your girls are just stunningly gorgeous!!

That canvas makes my heart sing! I have a picture of my girls that I would love to have printed on canvas. What a wonderful gift!!! Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love it and am beyond, beyond jealous!!
ReplyDeleteI am GREEN with envy, not that I want a picture of your girls, but I would like a gallery wrapped picture of the pic I have posted right this very minute on my blog. somehow, someway i will aquire that picture in a wrapped way!!!
ReplyDeleteYours looks amazing, fake stocking and all. It is a beautiful picture of your girls, and if I didn't have a girl of my own I would want a picture of your girls above my fireplace.
Hope you had a happy day!!!!
From one Julie to another Happy Birthday!!!
i totally noticed because i am in the middle of making 3 new stockings for my 3 as well. your canvas is amazing! what a gift!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the canvas! I'm a huge fan of photos printed on canvas and even toyed with the idea of printing them as a job. My hubby is a photographer so I am blessed to have amazing pix of my kids. Recently, he ordered a bunch of canvases from different companies to see which ones he liked best. My FAVORITES are the ones that are gallery wrapped (printed that wrap around the sides like yours) now I look for blank walls for an excuse to get more canvases!
ReplyDeleteSo PRETTY!!
ReplyDeleteThat canvas is awesome!
Love the canvas, and especially love that the stocking hangers say Joy! You do such a good job of keeping her legacy remembered. Thanks for entertaining this loyal reader on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! of course it helps to have the most beautiful subjects in the world! :)...and I did notice the stocking...you'll see in my pictures tom. one that doesn't match too- but it's real! :)
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful bonus bundle!!!
Blessings!

That looks WONDERFUL! I'm with you- I totally want one now.
ReplyDeleteThat canvas is amazing!
ReplyDeleteProbably because that picture is just perfect. What gorgeous little girls!
the bonus bundle is quite amazing! as is that piece of art and your fake stocking! :)
ReplyDeleteThe extra bundle is awesome and just a little more and the 2nd well will be funded. I donated. :)

That is pretty fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful canvas!... I'd like one of these for my mantel too!
ReplyDeleteI missed the stocking! Looooove Photoshop. LOVE photos on canvas even more. One of these days I’m going to own one too; but deciding on ONE photo is going to be hard. Maybe I’ll have to get a few smaller ones because we don’t have a fireplace and mantel to showcase one anyhow.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! So funny because I was going to get you a canvas for your housewarming present, but couldn't decide on one picture. That's why you got multiple prints :)
ReplyDeleteSO jealous of that awesome canvas!!
