I got my canvas and I love it!

July 17, 2007 by Tricia

On July 5th I wrote stating that I was going to send one of my photos to Canvas on Demand to have it made into a 16 x 20″ canvas. I decided to send this photo in:

It’s a photo of a butterfly that I literally chased around my yard for a week trying to get a photo. It only allowed me about five minutes of that whole week to take photos and I snapped quite a few. I believe this was the best of the bunch.

I went to the Canvas on Demand website and following the very simple instruction I choose the size and style of canvas that I wanted, the frame type and uploaded my photo.

The company sent an email shortly after I completed my order and we corresponded by email as to when the canvas would be complete. They must have started working on it pretty much right away because my lovely canvas arrived on July 13th, only 8 days after I’d ordered it!

Talk about fast! They say it takes four days to create a canvas, then they had to ship it from North Carolina to Toronto, Canada. Honestly the earliest I thought I might get my fabulous canvas was July 20th or later given how slow some delivery companies can be.

Would you like to see my beautiful new canvas? Here you go:

That photo really doesn’t do it justice. I’ll try to get an even better one, perhaps once I’ve decided where to hang it. It’s lovely though isn’t it? The butterfly looks so real. It makes you want to reach out and touch it. When our relatives visited this past weekend they just loved the canvas and might even get one of their own.

The canvas is so beautiful that I’m actually thinking of getting some of my other photos made into canvas’. They’d make great gifts at Christmas time or even for a birthday.

I just had a bright idea. If you’ve been reading this site for a year you might remember that last August Chris and I were part of a Hindu wedding ceremony when Chris’ cousin got married. Their anniversary is coming up in a month and one of the photos that I took at their wedding might make a beautiful anniversary gift. After seeing my own canvas I’m certain they’d love it.

I love Canvas on Demand.

They were in touch with me throughout the whole process so I can honestly say that they have excellent customer service. As for their product – well you can see the results for yourself. Their canvas’ are beautiful.

I’m just so pleased!

If you’ve ever thought of doing something like this please think of visiting Canvas on Demand. You won’t regret it.

Great selection of jewellery and accessories for men

July 8, 2007 by Tricia

When you think of jewelry you probably usually think of women’s jewelery – rings, necklaces and earrings and so on. Men wear jewelery too and I’ve just been to a website called Purple Cufflinks that has some beautiful jewelery for men – particularly their Cufflinks designs.

As a former jewelery myself I can tell you that I’m quite impressed with the designs. Their cufflinks are quite funky.

Two pair of cufflinks in particular caught my eye. One set is of the blue wedge style which is made of stainless steel with a blue enamel wedge across the top with a clear center stripe. It’s a lovely style that a man could wear at the office or while out on the town.

The other cufflink set that I enjoyed was the round pair made of abalone shell. It has an alternating striped pattern of green jade that compliments the abalone shell and stainless steel beautifully.

If you’ve been looking for a gift for your spouse, your father or a male friend you should visit Purple Cufflinks and have a look at their many stylish items.

Along with cufflinks you’ll find a tasteful selection of ties, pendants, bracelets and rings. Apparently their online store will be expanding their selection to include wallets and belts. It will be a one stop shop for men’s jewelery and accessories.

Purple Cufflinks is located in Australia but they ship their products worldwide so feel free to browse through their items and make a purchase if you find something that would be perfect for yourself or a special man in your life.

Fresh Trends Body Jewelry

June 20, 2007 by Tricia

How many of you reading this post have at least one body piercing? I would bet that a number of you have your nose, or your navel, tongue or eyebrow pierced not to mention many other body parts!

Well, if you have piercings you probably stop to look at body jewelry when you come across stands in the mall or elsewhere. Am I right? Trouble is most of the body jewelry that you can buy at stands are really just cheap costume jewelry.

Wouldn’t it be great to buy some gold body jewelry at a great low price?

Try visiting Freshtrends.com where you’ll find a huge selection of quality body jewelry. I don’t think that there’s a type or style of body jewelry that Fresh Trends doesn’t carry.

On the main page of the site you can select from categories such as Barbells and tongue rings, basic body jewelry, belly button and navel rings, body piercing retainers, body piercing supplies, captive bead rings, circular barbells, eyebrow jewelry and flexible body jewelry. They even have earrings, toe rings, belt buckles, temporary tattoos and t-shirts.

Fresh Trends sells body jewelry for pretty much every type of piercing that you can think of. I love this online store!

If you visit Fresh Trends be sure to check out their sales page to see what body jewelry is on sale that day or week.

If you love a bargain be sure to register with the site as you’ll get 10% off your purchases. Plus, if you buy $25 or more worth of items your shipping is free.

Do you see why I love this store? They have an amazing selection. Check it out for yourself.

This online gift store is well known for it’s selection of gift baskets and gourmet gifts, but as you can see from the type of gift ideas for dad that I listed above, they have special gift of the month clubs as well.
