So sometimes, when I’m really bored and have nothing else to do, I take pictures. I know. It doesn’t happen often, but yeah … I break out the camera on rare occasions.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Ha.
You know I take LOADS of pictures. And [spoiler alert: I’m going to name drop in 3 … 2 … 1 …] in my recent I Heart Faces photographer interview, I was asked if I have photos displayed all over the house. My response was …
Oh how I wish I could change the answer to this, but no. I have a total of 6 pictures of my girls displayed in our house. And 4 of those are collage frames with terrible pictures that I took of teeny tiny baby Emma. She’s almost four now. Lucy is in a grand total of one picture, and she’s eight months old. Second child syndrome is alive and well in our household, folks. But I do have about 12 empty frames, if that counts for anything!
I’m so embarrassed, really. BUT every time Emma is feeling neglected, I can just point and say, “Do you see your sister’s picture hanging on our walls? No!!!! See? You’re still our favorite! Now, go to your room so that I can play with Lucy!” [I’m kidding … that doesn’t happen. Often.]
So when Easy Canvas Prints asked if they could send me a canvas, I said, “YES!!” … pretty emphatically, I might add.
And when I got back from vacation, I had the most beautiful canvas of Miss Lucy Goosie waiting for me.
My review is simple – I love it. I love them. I love everything. The end.
But seriously …
- the ordering process was extremely simple … if a website sends me through 9 million steps to get something ordered, I may not go back, simply because I am usually on the computer during short nap breaks, so I want things done and done.
- the ordering process was very visual – it was just 4 steps, and each option had a visual representation, so I knew what to expect for each choice. For example, I didn’t want to crop my photo, so I opted for the “gallery wrap” in a color that blended into my image. I had no idea what this would look like, but they gave me a full visual of it. [They also had mirror image, which looked awesome, as well! And then a wrap-around option, which would be great if you didn’t mind losing a little of your photo. I would totally do that on any of my wide-angle shots.] I used Photoshop to pull the exact hexidecimal color code to match, and it was spot on.
- they were FAST. I ordered it, and within a week, the FedEx guy placed it gently onto my front porch.
- it came completely ready to hang. Let me say that again – COMPLETELY READY TO HANG OUT OF THE BOX! Can I get an AMEN!?!? All I had to do was measure, mark, nail and hang. Oh guys, this is huge. I have a canvas that has been sitting here for over 3 months, because I haven’t put the little grippy doo-hickey into the back. That was not a problem with Easy Canvas Prints.
Ready. To. Hang.
And last but not least, it is beautiful. And the exact perfect size for what I wanted to do with it.
Now, every time I walk into the door, I can say, “Hi, Lucy!!” Now, I just need one of Emma for the other side.
Or maybe just 3 or 4 more to hang in the front hall … … …
Overall, I couldn’t be more pleased with the whole process and product.
In fact, I am so happy, I asked if they would pleeeeease let me give an 8×10 canvas to one of you! [Of course, they agreed because they are awesome like that.]
To enter to win your very own 8”x10” canvas, all you have to do is …

Oh, man I LOVE that canvas! I’ve been wanting to do one of Hayden, but just haven’t taken the time yet (heck, I haven’t even taken the time to fill out her baby book . . . poor kid). Let’s see . . . if I won, I would put it in our living room between the window and the front door (that is NEVER used). Like you, I love the fact that it’s ready to hang. Now let me go like this place on Facebook right NOW! :)
I’d get a canvas to hang above my fireplace.

I think I would hang it in my bedroom. I just finished hanging up a gallery wall of photos of my kids in our living room, so now I need to hang a few of the hubs and me. :) P.S. Can you do a post on the hexidecimal color code info? I’m a photoshop newbie, and I feel like this could be the answer to getting my printed photos to look like they do on my computer!
I have been itching to get something on canvas! I would hang a photo of my little guy on the wall in my room to finally get the photo wall of my dreams started! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I would probably give this as a gift for my mother. All she has are little 4×6′s of her only grand son sitting on their piano. I would probably suggest hanging it on the bottom of her stairs.

Oh, I am just like you! I have a gazillion pics and almost none on my walls – certainly none that are recent. I’m ashamed. I would hang a canvas print of all my babies near the fireplace, so I could stare at that instead of Disney Channel.

Um, I live in a studio apartment, so I would hang it in my room. You know, the only room. HA! :-) I’ve made the best of my iddy bitty space by covering the walls in photos that make me happy, so this would be perfect!
I have this sort of half-wall that is part of both my living room and dining room and in the years we’ve lived here I have just never known what to do with this wall. So I would love to get a canvas and hang it right there! And thanks for the review, it’s very nice to hear about a good option for canvas wraps. I’ve been wanting to get a canvas for a while now, but the picture does not have the room available to wrap around the canvas so it’s great to know about the option to get a gallery wrap in a complementary color without losing any of the photo.
OMG!! I want one!!
I got so excited I forgot to tell where I would hang it!! It would certainly go in our living room for EVERYONE to see!!
I “liked” them on FB also :)
I would hang mine in the living room so everyone that comes to my home could see it.

I would love to get a canvas print of my son…we just got his newborn pictures back and they need displayed! :) I would probably hang it in the living room on our picture wall.
I’d hang it in my bed on the wall facing my bed so I could look at my kiddies before I go to bed at night. :). (and because I have the perfect sized little wall & I think it would look great there!)

Love the picture and this canvas. We just moved into a house and there are so many fresh walls that I could put a canvas on. Hard to pick just one :)
I am due with my 2nd boy any time now. I have bought so many outfits that coordinate or match my older son and have been plotting and planning the big brother-little brother shots I am going to take. I would love to win a canvas to be able to print the final product on. I’ve never ordered a canvas before, so this would be a new experience for me.
Thanks!

great shot! love canvas-would love to try easy canvas!
totally understand – child #1 = filled out baby book fairly well through 22 mo when child#2 came along….filled that book through about six months, in spurts until….child#3 came along and I haven’t even written her name in her book, tho at least I have one! It would be so hard to decide about this canvas, if I picked one kid I would feel like I was choosing faves however I have an awesome pic of littlest’s toes in a bubble bath that would be awesome for my master bathroom!

Ack! This reminds me of #17 and 18 on my list of things to do….17 – Print photos for Frames (bought in December) and 18- Hang Frames. My home is the same – no photos of my girls anywhere!
Where would I put a gorgeous canvas print? – In my front hallway for everyone to see as soon as they walk in!
Love that big one of your Lucy!

I’m WAY behind in the picture-framing department. I have a 6-photo collage frame hanging with only 2 photos filled. One framed photo of my oldest son’s 8th grade school picture (he’s now going into his senior year in high school). One framed photo of my daughter (now 8 years old), taken when she was 1 year old. And a (fairly) recent one of my youngest son – his kindergarten school picture (and he just finished kindergarten). Ha ha ha!
Love the photo you used for your canvas. Adorable! :)
I’d probably get one for my mom of all her grandkids for her living room. She’s been wanting one for awhile!

I would absolutely LOVE a canvas print of my boys together for the foyer wall!!! love your blog AND your photos!!!
I did a portrait shoot with my friend and her sisters just for fun. They haven’t the funds to order a canvas wrap, so this would really be handy!
I would hang my canvas above my night stand~perfect spot!
Awesome!
I’d get a canvas of the new “Choose My Plate” guidelines (they did away w/ the food pyramid. Did you know that?!) for my dining room. I’ve grown very tired of telling the kids that they need to eat their vegetables. This shows them exactly how much they need to eat. :) Think it’ll work?
We are moving into a new house next week so I would hang it there! Not entirely sure where yet specifically, but I’m thinking about a big photo collage in the living room.
I would hang it in her little space, her nook, in my old bedroom. It would be one of her…maybe a newborn, maybe walking, but her.
depending on what picture i end up choosing it would either hang in our (coming any day now) baby’s room or in the recently rearranged living room :)
I’d love to hang it in our entry way so everyone could see it when they walked in!
My dining room is just screaming for a few photos on the walls – OK, maybe my entire house is screaming but since I have to narrow it down…
I would love a canvas print for my new house. I’m really tired of bare walls!

We’re determined to have everything on the walls in this house be of something really meaningful to us. I have been dreaming of putting up a picture that I took of the NYC skyline at a friends wedding in our living room. Hanging it on a canvas would be a perfect way to show where we came from.
Such a cute picture of Miss Lucy!

I would NOT put it in the dog house, the doll house, or the out house! lol
