framing memories

November always puts me into nesting mode. It brings my attention back to my home after a busy summer & fall season in the shop. This year is no different. In fact, I got a head start about a week ago when I began moving furniture around late one night. My living room has been bugging me for a while. It has never felt finished or quite as inviting as I’d like. There was one specific corner that was always dark and the massive brown sectional wasn’t helping to lighten it up. I started by scooting my linen arm-chair into that corner and it instantly feels brighter! I’ve also finally pulled the trigger on ordering the sofa I’ve been lusting over. I can’t wait for it to arrive just in time for the holidays.

In the meantime, CanvasPop offered me a print to review and GIVEAWAY! I’m over the moon with the quality of this product. The 16 x 20 art print is framed with a 2.5 inch mat. It has certainly helped to elevate this corner in our living room. We had this photo taken a couple of years ago during our “Mess the Dress” session after our wedding. We worked with wonderful photographers during that time in our life and, to be honest, we haven’t done much with the professional photos yet. It can be so overwhelming.

CanvasPop was exactly what I needed to get this memory professionally framed and matted. They made the process so quick & easy! My art print arrived neatly packaged in just 10 days. I love the content of the photo too and how it plays into this evolving space. Although this was a professional photo, CanvasPop can work with photos of any resolution and you can even import them from Facebook and Instagram. How is that for convenient?

Now it is your turn to win a CanvasPop 16 x 20 framed photo paper print with the 2.5″ white mat + free shipping. The winner will have until November 30, 2016 to order their free print.

merry milk paint giveaway

December 18, 2013February 11, 2014 | circadee

I want to wish all of my friends, family, loyal blog readers, customers and DIYers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I’d love to give everyone a gift but since that is not practical I thought it would be fun to host a giveaway.

You’ve most likely been following my journey long enough to know that I love milk paint, specifically Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint, so I’d like to offer one lucky recipient a package of one of the newest colors, Trophy, a milk paint brush plus a small wax and a NEW 2 oz. beeswax hand cream for working hands. Over a $50 value for you, friend!

Whether you have been thinking about trying out milk paint for the first time or if you are a seasoned milk painter who wants to give Trophy a whirl, now is your chance to do so for FREE! My gift to you.

By the way, Trophy is Miss Mustard Seed’s milk paint color of the month for January so you’ll be right on trend!

Have you heard about #mmsmilkpaintcolorofthemonth?

Each month a different color is featured around social media sites like Instagram and Facebook using the mentioned hashtag – #mmsmilkpaintcolorofthemonth

The color Trophy was inspired by the beautiful patina of an antique trophy like the one pictured below. I found this awesome one on my recent trip to Adamstown.

The countdown is on until Christmas! Here’s how you can enter to win…

Comment on this post and tell me what is inspiring you this holiday season. Make sure your comment is not anonymous because I will need your email address to alert you if you win. You must be located in the US or Canada. Follow Circa Dee on Facebook or Instagram. You can enter until 8 am EST on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas and Happy Painting!
