Today, we are continuing to create memories with Literacy Musing Mondays and Canvas Factory. I have a special giveaway today for my readers in honor of the Christmas Season. I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas holidays!

I know this Christmas you created a lot of memories around family and fun times. When an official with the community outreach division with Canvas Factory contacted me and offered me a chance to share this giveaway with you I was so excited. A pretty canvas filled with your photos invites a stroll down memory lane. I hope you will take advantage of this great giveaway which I am going to extend one week because my blog was down. The new deadline is now January 13. I will announce the winner the week of January 16.

I loved using Canvas Factory and I know you will love them too.  Here is the canvas I created using pictures I took with my Smartphone! I think it turned out great even though my Smartphone doesn’t have the best camera.

 

Now for my special Christmas giveaway. Remember it will end January 13th.

 

 

 

Note: I received a free canvas for this review. I only accept products to review if I can really support them! I loved my Canvas Factory experience. I hope to take some great photos to create Christmas memories to put on a canvas this year!

My Favorite Post of the Week

Choosing a Path for Your 2017

By by Lydia Borengasser

 

This post fit the bill as I think about the New Year. I find myself in prayer for a word. Remember last year, I did not feel God pointing me to just one word. I hope He can inspire me this year to choose one. I really recommend this post and hope you enjoy. Here is my favorite quote from it:

“Imagine a path free of roadblocks, stretching as far as the eye can see.

To enter, you must acknowledge the Lord every step of the way.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Prov 3:6

Blessed is the one who finds Wisdom. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Prov 3:17″

I hope you have a wonderful New Year!

Now, it is time to link up to the Literacy Musing Mondays hop!

 

 

Linkup Rules:

1. Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
2. Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
3. Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
4. We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
5. Follow your hosts and co-hosts on their social media.
6. Tweet about the link up too.
