she came to craft weekend this year and she was as wonderful as i had imagined.

i love her shop and her blog.

you should be adding something to your christmas wish list OR checking off your gifts-to-give in lisa's shop!

i already received my charm bracelet!!  
every month a new charm will come in the mail in 2013.
i love this idea!

and that ring?  i would love to have that right next to my wedding ring.


the camera necklace is so right on...a heart in the middle!  exactly how i feel about my camera.

i am loving the glass charms to mark your glass.
i am constantly losing my glass at parties. 

Lisa has beautiful jewelry and home decor items too.
she started carrying a line of gold jewelry too this fall...it's so pretty!

i am sure people are asking you "what do you want for christmas?"  
just pick out your favorite Lisa piece of jewelry and send them the link!


or find the perfect thing for your sister, mother, grandmother.

go together with your siblings and get a necklace for your mom with all the grandkids names!

give your friend a bracelet that says "LOVE" because you love her.

mpix ROCKS.

i am LOVING my new canvas from MPIX.COM.

LOVE.

i gave my gumball machine a little photo session a few weeks back and was smiling the whole time.

it's just so happy!

all the colors.... the sweet little acorn on the front... the perfect chippiness on the red paint.

my grandpa gave it to me when i was a kid.

it was just something old of his, probably happy to get rid of it.

and thanks to my mom saving it in storage during my young married years... i still have it.

it is one of my favorite treasures.

SO....i sent my picture off to mpix.com to be made into a great big gallery wrapped canvas.

i am always so nervous to open it when i order a canvas.

But THIS?

i was absolutely beaming.
the print is crystal clear...the colors are amazing.... it looks REAL!

i love it.

MPIX.COM has high quality products from their prints to their cards and especially their canvases.

i printed my watercolor photo earlier this year and it is my other favorite picture i have every printed.


(that was post-move or pre-move... messy table but fun colors either way)

MPIX is my favorite photo company...it is the best.
i get all my prints for my shop and for our home made there.
and i have loved EVERY canvas they have ever done for me.
they have so many fun products!
i love their christmas cards, the standout prints
and now they have an App that you can have your instagrams printed 4x4 directly from your phone?!
that is pure genius. 

would you like to win a gallery wrapped canvas??

of course you would!!!

today i am giving away a gallery wrapped canvas any size all the way up to 24" x 36" like mine is!!!

leave a comment today telling me YOUR FAVORITE TREASURE AT YOUR HOUSE.

i will draw the winner on saturday.
