BEST OF 2008: Photofiddle

photo BEST OF 2008: PhotofiddleHome decorating is not my strongest suit. I do manage (with the help of my husband) to maintain a tidy and warm home, but the decor isn’t spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. It’s rather simple and clean-looking with a western flair.

That said, I do have two favorite pieces of art…both are hanging in my daughter’s room. The two professional-quality canvases feature a beautiful little girl with a clear blue eyes, long lashes, and the sweetest little lips…our daughter {pictured}.

img 1684 BEST OF 2008: PhotofiddleBoth canvases are from Photofiddle.com, a company that allows you to “transform your photos into professionally framed art.” Just upload your photo, pick your design, choose your size…and the artwork will ship in days. It’s really a wonderful concept.

I already have another piece on my “wish list” for after baby #2 arrives. I’m hoping to have a family photo taken of the four of us within that first year…and then I’d love to order a GIANT canvas for our dining room. It would be such a fun and lovely way to celebrate our family. I’m saving my pennies…

WIN IT! One winner will receive a 12″ x 18″ or 18″ x 12″ stretched canvas frame from Photofiddle.com (valued at $89.99). To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Wednesday, December 31 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

NOTE: For additional information, please feel free to read my original review, published on 6-10-2008.

*UPDATE* The winner is #106 Terra Heck. Congratulations!
