Decorate Your Home with Canvas Prints from Canvas Champ

They’re an excellent way to commemorate family memories without the same old boring frame on the wall or 8″x10″ on the counter. With photo canvas prints, you can decorate your home with something unique. They’re quite attractive, with a photo quality image and that great canvas texture we all know and love. Decorate Your Home with Stylish Prints I have a few photo canvas prints in my home. They’ve become my simple way to add photographs to my walls or table tops and I like the look of them.

Do Your Walls Do You Proud? #Giveaway $100 Posterjack ART
Do your walls make you proud? If not, then maybe you should do something about that. Late last year I did a fellowship with the UN Foundation’s charitable vaccine advocacy initiative called Shot@Life. We visited Zambia and toured communities, hospitals and clinics and talked to many stakeholders and families about obstacles to getting vaccinations. It was a gruelling visit and a punishing schedule in extremely hot weather. And it was also one of the coolest things I have ever done. When I am 85 and I look back on life I will remember visiting Zambia and I take pride in the stories we told and the fact that I earned…

On Mindfulness Tools and Month One of Living Mindfully #LoveHallmarkCA
This year, I decided 2017 would be my year of living mindfully. Mindfulness was, and still is, my own personal goal. I challenged myself to stop, take stock daily and be present. Be Mindful. So here’s where I am at one month after starting this mindfulness experiment. In fact, I thought mindfulness would be easier than this, so I am looking to build in some new relaxation and mindfulness tools to help get there. This morning, walking alone, on a beautiful winter day, it was easy to close my eyes, block out jobs, tasks, To Do Lists, and reflect on the beautiful surroundings. Southern Ontario in the winter can be pretty…

Capture Special Moments with Posterjack #Giveaways
I have always been a gigantic fan of photos. Maybe most Moms are, but I recall the first year I received a Kodak camera as a gift for Christmas. I think I was actually still a tween at that stage and cameras still used those disposable flash bulbs. I tried to explain this process to one of my daughters the other day. Back in my teens, I remember having to take the actual film cartridge out of the film and drop it at Blacks, or Shoppers Drug Mart. Then you’d wait a week or longer sometimes for your memories to solidify on paper. It was not a cheap process, but…

Adult Coloring Books for Gifting #ValentinesDay
Adult coloring books are suddenly incredibly hot. I get it. I had a Hallmark one here recently and I had some fun chilling out and simply coloring for a bit. Coloring is a super relaxing activity. My one daughter has had coloring books with mandalas in them for several years. Those are not necessarily exclusively adult coloring books. Have you ever picked up an adult coloring book and wondered if you should get one? Do you have anxiety or trouble relaxing at all? They can be excellent tools for both children and adults to help calm down. When my kids were younger I had a home day care and I…

Fun Family Leaf Crafts and Activities
Fall is approaching, which means the leaves are changing colours and soon will be falling everywhere. Why not use some to make fun leaf crafts? As lovely as it is when the leaves change colours, it can be a bit of a mess when they fall all over roads and lawns. In our old neighbourhood, at our old house, we had so many leaves. We bagged them for days on end. It was so much work. We had some huge trees in our yard. In the newer area where we live now the trees are just a little bit younger and the leaves aren’t quite as much trouble. Leaves themselves…
