Winter Decorating and a Giveaway...

{This post includes a review and giveaway from the Canvas Factory}

Happy 2017! Now that the holidays are behind us...here in Minnesota we have the long winter ahead! I'm not one to put all of our Christmas decorations away all at once, but rather slowly...and removing those that are obviously Christmas decorations first.

I really like the Danish concept of Hygge (pronounced 

hue-gah)...embracing winter with warm lighting, comfort foods and drinks, coziness, and making times feel special.  

It can make a long winter feel much more enjoyable...

I like to keep little white lights, 

pine cones, candles, and blankets.

I have also had fun creating personal artwork for

our home and Christmas gifts.  I painted signs...
this family sign will be part of our winter gallery wall.

I also love using my photographs as art...when I have one that feels special.  A few posts back I shared an instagram photo 
that I thought would be great for Christmas artwork.  

Recently, the Canvas Factory made a 16 x 20 
canvas print of it for review.  And it became part 

of our Christmas gallery wall on our stairway...

The print was beautifully done, 

with a closed back and hangers...

The website was very user friendly!  One feature I didn't end up using on this particular piece...they offer the ability to add decorative text to your photo canvas...

which I think greatly adds to the creativity!

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.

They are offering one of my readers a free 16 x 20 canvas print, and shipping is free, too!  So if you would like a chance to win,

I was provided with a photo canvas to review...all opinions are my own.
