{Giveaway is Closed}
The winner is #62: Tricia! Congrats, Tricia, you have been emailed!
Family pics are always special and I love to have them around my house. It’s sometimes hard to find the right spot to display family pics without them being front and center and getting too cluttered looking.
But, I’ve got a few family framed pics that I used black frames with and decided my hallway would be the perfect spot to showcase them. And, I received THE most special gift from my friend, Debbie, which really made this gallery wall come alive. She is such a sweet friend and created this labor of love for me, all about my house renovation and the journey with my parents. I got teary-eyed when she brought it over to me.
It’s a house renovation picture collage and she took pics off my blog and framed them all together for a journey of this whole house renovation, with some of the lovely blog friends who came over to help us paint, all the way down to the scripture verse that my mom shared with me the day we closed on the house. Now, that’s a teary-eyed moment.
So, when I got the collage, I knew it would be perfect to add to my family wall, along with the pics of my parents when they were young and some other old family pics that are special to me.
The devotional that my mom shared with me on the day we closed was right in the middle. So special! Thank you, Debbie!
So, with the collage in the middle, I added all my family pics to this picture gallery wall and it will be a reminder every day when I walk past, how blessed I am to have the family I was born into. So blessed!
On the opposite wall, I added this little 11×14 canvas print of mine and my dad’s hands, working on the dining room project. Many of you suggested along the way, that a good way to remember this journey would be to frame my dad’s hands. So, I chose this one of both our hands, working on this house for me. I’ll never forget the journey and hard work that got me where I am today. For that, I am so grateful for the love of a father. He has hung in there with me, every step of the way, just like my Heavenly father does as well.
The opportunity for the canvas print came from Staples and they asked me if I’d like to try one of their new Easy Canvas Prints and of course, I said YES! I knew just the pic I’d get printed on my canvas. It’s a wonderful reminder of the specialness of this house journey.
And Staples wants to give ONE Easy Canvas Print to one of my readers too! Turn your favorite photo into a work of art for your wall.
All you have to do is leave a comment telling me if you already have a special picture that you’d like to get on a canvas print??
The winner will also receive a free 8×10 photo enlargement from Staples to try out too. Staples is a great stop for photo services, in case you haven’t tried them.
Leave one comment and I’ll chose a random winner in a few days and you’ll get a gift certificate to try out the Staples Easy Canvas prints and a free enlargement, redeemable at your local Staples Copy and Print center.
Thanks, as always for stopping by to see me!
Note: This is a sponsored post from Staples and I received a certificate for a free Staples Easy Canvas print and a free photo enlargement. All opinions are mine to share.

I think I’d do one of our dog for my husband! I love the one you picked. I had a dad like that, too. Enjoy him every minute!
I have a wonderful, candid picture of my son’s happy and beaming face at his high school graduation that I would gift myself with! The journey with your home, with your parents at your side, has been an inspiration. Congrats.
Rhoda,
I got misty eyed over the gift of he pictures of your the pictures of your parents helping you renovate the house. How special! Just beautiful!
I would love to win, I have a photo of my children with their grandmother. I would like to make this for her.
Either one of my three darling grandchildren or of all of us (my husband and I with our daughter’s families) I love the canvas prints. Your picture wall looks so nice but the collage including the devotional and the pics of your and your dad’s hands make it complete! Well done.
It would be a tough choice! Probably one of my husband and I smooching under a gorgeous tree at a winery, it’s just so darn sweet.
Your journey has touch so many of us & has taught us to let the past go & with God’s Love & Faith our future can be brighter. God Bless you & your family in this precious time of year. I hope you home is always filled with love. I would have a print of my three little grandsons.
I love reading the posts about your journey… such special moments with your parents!
How sweet. You are lucky to still have your father.
Rhoda: This post increased MY FAITH! (And it made me cry, just a little bit too!) What a wonderful and loving family you have been blessed with. God is good, and He is faithful! I love the print of your Dad’s hands with yours, and the sweet blessing of your Moms – lasting proof that you were born into the world as the child of two extraordinary people.
I have an old picture taken of a tree in our former back yard that my husband carved our initials into with a heart. I need to scan that picture and put it on a canvas.
Enjoy your beautiful house of grace and restoration!
I’d love a canvas of my daughter. I have the perfect picture from last Christmas.
I have a picture of my Dad holding my baby granddaughter…now an Estate Attorney…that melts my heart each time I look at it. That’s the one that I would frame.
I do – I have one of my 3 kids in the TeaCups at Disney and the look on their faces is so cute. Thanks!
when you mentioned the love of a father, it made me think, there is one hand we don’t see here, the hand of The Father, which was right there with you, holding you up! I would love to win a free canvas!
YES! I have just the perfect picture…I am a military wife with a husband currently deployed and so it’d be a picture of us with our last kiss before he left! 🙂
I love the and picture and also the devotional from your mom.
I have the perfect picture I’d love to use of my daughter as she is out running around in the rain and she has this look of pure joy.
