Today, we are creating Christmas memories with Literacy Musing Mondays and Canvas Factory. I have a special giveaway today for my readers in honor of the Christmas Season.

I know this Christmas you will create memories around family. 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 will run through January 6. I will announce the winner the week of January 9.

I loved the process of creating my own canvas. It was easy at their site. Plus, a special designer even notified me that one of my photos lacked quality and focus thus ensuring that I produced a beautiful canvas.  I plan to create more in the future. This one was my first try, and I used cell phone photos of a recent vacation.  I forgot to bring my digital camera, plus my cell doesn’t have the best camera; so, all things considering I found the canvas beautifully done.

 

Now for my special Christmas giveaway. Remember it will end January 6th.

 

 

 

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!

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.
