Free Canvas Photos

Welcome back! Be sure to check out my Email Newsletter. Thanks for visiting!

I’m soooo excited about this deal I just had to share it with you. I’m not being compensated by this company, I just think it’s awesome.

Canvas People are giving away a FREE 8×10 canvas print of your photos. If you’ve ever priced these things you know they can easily run $100.

I ordered 4. That kind of feels like cheating, but there is no limit posted on their website and they let me do it, so I’m assuming it’s cool with them. Just close the browser and go back to the website each time to place a new order. You will have to pay a separate $15 each time for shipping, and even though that’s a little pricey for shipping it’s way cheaper than any other deal you’ll find on these.

I upgraded the first one to an 11×14 for $9.99. The second time around I realized that if you tell them you want an 8×10 and then continue with the order a little pop-up screen will offer you the upgrade at an even cheaper price. So the second one I upgraded for $6.99. (After that the pop-up screen didn’t come up any more)

They also charge for black and white and sepia, but I was able to do that myself in Picnik. Is that cheating too? I don’t know, but what I do know is that I was able to steal this picture from our friend’s Facebook page

and enlarge it in Picnik (You have to enlarge it because the regular resolution if a facebook photo isn’t good enough to be transferred to the canvas. In Picnik go to edit, resize, then type 1200 in the first box, then it will be large enough for the 8×10 and 11×11 sizes. Just be careful not to enlarge it too much or it will start to get distorted.) and turn it into this

which I think is going to make a great housewarming gift as a canvas now that their house is finished and they’re moving in next week. (I don’t think they read my blog, but if they do…SURPRISE!)

I also turned this picture of my sister with Nicholas

Into this, which I think is going to make some awesome personalized artwork that’s (I hope) hip enough for my trendy little sis once it’s on canvas. Her birthday is in a few weeks and I think she will LOVE this. (and I know she doesn’t read my blog, so no worries there)

You simply must get in on this!

**You do need to make sure that the faces aren’t too close to the edge because the sides will wrap around the canvas. It will show you exactly how much will be cut off once you upload your photo to the website. **

    The one of Char and Nick is an AMAZING gift. I would never have pegged that snapshot of being even frame-worthy, but you worked wonders with it.

I know it’s a small thing, but I believe small things can add up to big changes. my entire North Bay series, including Out of Left Field, Right as Rain, and Way Off Base, is free on Kindle from Jan. 30-Feb. 3. Please take the funds you might have spent on my books this week and reallocate them toward the areas in our country that need them the most. Follow creators like Dad Chats who can direct you toward practical needs local to them. I hope my quirky romcoms can bring you some comfort and joy during difficult times, and I hope together we can take small, practical steps toward big changes. ... See MoreSee Less

Binkies and Briefcases with Stephanie Giese
I know there is an overall feeling of helplessness in our country right now. So many of us are at a loss for what to do beyond making phone calls and social media posts (which are still important, but can feel like not enough). I believe strongly in the power of small things adding up to big ones. As one person, I might not be able to do much, but what I CAN do is use my voice and my books to work toward the change I’d like to see. That’s why, for the next five days, from Jan. 30-Feb 3, I’m making the Kindle versions of my entire North Bay series (Out of Left Field, Right as Rain, and Way Off Base) completely free. Art has power, and I do hope these comedies can bring you some comfort and joy in difficult times, but most importantly, I also hope you’ll consider redirecting the funds you might’ve spent on my books and donating instead to one of the many charities working tirelessly in our cities right now. If you are located in an area like Minnesota or Portland, please use the space below to make people aware of the organizations in your area that need help. ... See MoreSee Less

Splendid Spoon Review

I was excited to receive a box of products to try from Splendid Spoon this summer! They invited me to try their line of plant-based, ready-to-eat foods and delivered them right to my door. Check one in the pro column for convenience. I did receive these products free of charge in order to rate them […]
