Just Days Left for Mothers Day Orders!

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

Mother’s Day is May 12^th. Don’t forget this wonderful opportunity to thank Mom for all she’s done for you. Don’t let the time get away! There is less than a week to place your order in time for her to receive it for her special day.

Let me tell you about three customers who learned firsthand how a Mothers Day canvas can make mom’s heart sing!

Rachael wrote a testimonial on our Customer Showcase. ” My mom took this photo of me and my brother and our dog…and she got it for Mother’s Day!”

Angela told us this story: “I thought it would be a great gift to give my mom a unique photo that would last forever! I come from a family of three girls, twins and an older sister. Recently, my sister had a baby girl, adding a forth. My mother LOVED the canvas with all of her girls!”

Simone’s story proves that canvases are ageless! “My mom (center) saw a photo with three generations of women in a magazine and wanted to re-enact it with her daughter and granddaughter,” Simone wrote on our website. “So, I took this photo of my sister (top), mother (middle) and niece (bottom). My mom quite literally wept with joy and gratitude when she saw the photo.”

Ok, ok, if you ARE a procrastinator, watch for our May 6th LAST DAY TO ORDER MOTHERS DAY SPECIAL. But why not play it safe and order today. Right now. Go ahead. Just do it. After all, it’s for mom.

Famous children’s author and educator, Kate Douglas Wiggin, once said: Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins…but only one mother in the whole world.

Now, don’t forget her. Mom

Come Follow Me Around this Small World

Friday, February 25th, 2011

I have never posted a re-run of one of my blog articles, but today it seems appropriate. My entry here last week explained that I am about to depart on a six-month backpacking trip around the world, and I promised to give you all the details of my personal blog so that you can follow the trip. Well,here it is. Just click here to go to the website–http://fullcircletrek.com. Please subscribe so that I can see some of our wonderful Canvas on Demand customers on the site…and so that you can get regular updates of my adventure! And while you’re on the site, make a comment so I know who you are!

I will be traveling with a friend from Chicago who is also a woman in her mid-60s. As sojourners on this adventure, we will visit more than twenty countries and traverse nearly 30,000 miles. Yes, if you’re doing the math correctly, that is 5,000 miles more than the actual circumference of planet earth. And let me emphasize that this will NOT be a vacation. No fine restaurants, comfy hotels, or suitcases on wheels. We will travel on the proverbial shoestring. The packs flung over our shoulders will contain only the essentials, and at day’s end, we will be reminded that home is where we unfold our bedrolls. We are preparing physically and emotionally to have our bodies, our patience, and our perseverance stretched to the limits. We will eat food we won’t recognize and often sleep like sardines in backpacker bunkhouses alongside fellow-adventurers of every stripe and from every corner of the globe.

So in preparation for our departure this coming Tuesday, I am posting a re-run of one of my favorite “On-the-Road-with-Mom” entries below. These images and these customers will serve as an inspiration to me as I snap away for the next six months. The article is titled: It’s A Small World…

When you hang a spectacular canvas of shot you took in some far-flung corner of the globe, you realize that it is, indeed, a small world, after all.

Consider this canvas belonging to Michael from Gold Canyon, Arizona. He explained that he took this wonderful image a few years ago during a trip to Papua, New Guinea. “We were able to visit a Huli tribe in the Highlands region. Some of the men commit to growing out their hair for 18 months to 2 years in order to make a ceremonial headgear known as a wig. Thus they are called Huli Wigmen and the wigs are worn during ceremonies. This photo shows a Wigman with exotic feathers adorning his wig, preparing his face paint for a ceremony.

And here’s another one belonging to Belle, a customer from California. Her co-worker took the photo from inside the tour bus in a rural region of China. “That co-worker highly recommended Canvas on Demand, so we decided to give you a try. We were extremely satisfied with the final product and the personalized attention your crew gave us. They notified us right way after receiving the picture file to let us know that a customized size would be a better choice…and they were absolutely right! The end product was just beautiful. THANK YOU.”

How small the world can become when you incorporate pieces of it into your personal living space or office! Mom

Tom Looks forward to Mother’s Day

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

This time of year is so much fun around the Canvas on Damand facilities. With Mother’s Day not far ahead of us, we turn some of the cutest photos into canvases! I thought I’d share this one with you that was sent to us byLara in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Thanks for sharing this story with us, Lara. And thanks for your kind testimonial about Canvas on Demand! Here’s what she had to say about this precious mother/daughter canvas and the service she received:

This photo is of me and my 11 month old daughter in our kitchen at home, taken with a timer and tripod. She has just learned to walk, but is still in the precious stage of wanting to hug Mommy’s leg. This is a memory that needed to be captured.

Canvas on Demand emailed me the day after I submitted my order to tell me that since the image was cropped closely, they were going to add a black border around the picture to make it a better fit within the canvas print. It looked absolutely fantastic; I was glad someone had the wherewithall and forward-thinking to preserve this memory in the best possible way. Canvas on Demand sent emails periodically with update of the order and I received it exactly when they promised in exactly the condition they promised. They had stellar customer service. Lara

The Hand that Rocks the Cradle

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Just a reminder to our readers that it’s not too early to be thinking Mother’s Day. If you want to give your mom a gift that will really touch her heart, a gift that will let her know how much you appreciate her each time she passes it…then give her a lovely art canvas from Canvas on Demand.

So this May 9th, make certain that the hands that rocked your cradle will open a Mother’s Day canvas that she’ll never forget. I love Indhira’s story below. Check it out! Joe

Because my mother lives far away from her grandchildren (my nephews) I asked my sister to take a nice casual picture of her three boys so I could order a Canvas and send it to my mom for Mother’s Day. When she got the Canvas in the mail she was so happy and called me to tell me how cute the boys were in the picture, and how beautiful and realistic the Canvas looked. I also got another copy for half the price and gave it to my sister for Mother’s Day as well. I am even thinking of getting a copy for myself… my sister’s are the only three grandchildren/nephews in our family.

This is my second Canvas, and the service was as exceptional as the first time. I called to make sure they cropped the picture like I wanted and they were extremely nice and did exactly what I asked for. I was able to talk to them online through their chat which made it easier to communicate with them in real time. The Canvas was more beautiful than what I was expecting because the colors were so intense and rich.
