Yesterday you went on a tour of the Happy Buddy’s bright and fun Big Boy Room!

Today I am sooooo jazzed to tell you that during the decorating process, I was contacted by Easy Canvas Prints.

They asked if I wanted to do a review on my blog of their product, as well as offer the same product to one of my sweet readers.

Now I get quite a few offers like this, but I usually turn them down because I am committed to keeping this site ad-free.  I never want you to feel overwhelmed by a whole bunch of extra stuff.

I only want to offer you the stuff that will help you build a Happy Home.

With that said, ever since the Happy Baby was born, I have had an increase in desire to fill our Happy Home with photos of our family.

We have been through a lot together and I want to preserve and celebrate the moments that have shaped us into the Happy Home we are today.

This photo of the Happy Buddy was such a sweet captured minute in the kitchen while the Happy Baby was in the hospital.  The Happy Buddy was so patient with me during that season – putting up with my being gone a lot and then when I was home, putting up with my blubbering like every 5 seconds.

Easy Canvas Prints was such a great company to work with!  Their website was easy to use, they run AMAZING promotions and offers all the time (like RIGHT NOW you can get 25% off all canvas orders as well as FREE Standard Shipping – LOVE!), and they are super speedy with delivery.

I had such a great time working with Easy Canvas Prints that now I am starting to think about heading over to their sister site, Build A Sign, and ordering a fun magnet for my car or even a bumper sticker advertising Happy Home Fairy!

The day my photo canvas arrived it was pouring like a monsoon.  I pulled in the driveway and saw the big package sitting in the rain and I got so nervous that the picture was ruined!  But Easy Canvas Prints wrapped it up so awesome that the canvas was perfectly dry and intact.

Then I immediately got to work on baking the Happy Hubby some brownies in order to finagle him into hanging it for me.

I think it looks just perfect in the Happy Buddy’s new Big Boy Room and is a reminder to me of this sweet lil’ guy who helped me survive a very trying season (and still is!).

Do you have a photo that you would like to have made into a Photo Canvas for your Happy Home?

I will be giving one FREE 16×20 Photo Canvas to one of you!

Here are the rules for this awesome GIVEAWAY…

1.  Leave a comment below telling me what picture you would like to get as a Photo Canvas if you were to win.  I want to hear why the photo is special to you and even where you might hang it in your Happy Home!

2.  Make sure you leave your name and EMAIL ADDRESS.

3.  Extra BONUS POINTS if you tell me in your comment that you are an email subscriber to Happy Home Fairy AND you ‘LIKE’ the Fairy on Facebook.

4.  The GIVEAWAY will close Tuesday, September 18th at midnight.

5.  Winner will be notified by email.

I can’t wait to hear what photos you guys want to see in your Happy Home!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.  WINNER WILL BE NOTIFIED SHORTLY!  GOOD GRIEF DO I HAVE MY WORK CUT OUT FOR ME IN CHOOSING JUST ONE OF Y’ALL!

Happy Giveaway-ing! 🙂

    I am a fan on facebook and receive the email updates. I’ve been following your happy home and family for some time and you have been in my thoughts and prayers so often that I feel like I “really” know you. 🙂 I love your creativity and the love for your family and our God is evident in all you do.

    If I won the giveaway I’d use a picture I have of my two guys (6 & 7) from the beach. My oldest has his arm around his younger brother in a protective and proud way and it’s obvious on their faces that they are filled with happiness and love for each other and also for me. The look on their faces get me each time I see them. If I don’t win, I’m still going to do it for myself some day.

    Blessings in all you do!

      I am a big fan of this blog (e-mail subscriber) & I also follow you on facebook! In fact, my two little guys (6&4) are in for quite a treat today when they open their lunch boxes – everything is wrapped in Camo wrapping paper!! I can’t wait for the day to end so I can hear all about it!!

      Anywhoo – I would print a picture of my three kiddos. I have 2 boys (mentioned above) and a 1 year old girl. The three of them are absolutely darling together and they LOVE to smile and cheese it up for the camera. Their bond is amazing and I know that soon they will be grown and these precious moments will only be a memory. SO – I’d capture a moment of their silliness & display it proudly in the living room – where we dance, wrestle, do devotions and enjoy each other.

      On a side note – for no extra bonus points – I really do want to thank you for all your fun ideas and creativity. My family has been blessed by it and we’ve started some fun traditions based off of some of your ideas. Unfortunately, I don’t have a great relationship with my mom and I’ve struggled since I found out baby #3 was a girl with the fear of not being close to my daughter. I’ve really been blessed to read about your relationship with you mom and find hope in that for me and my precious little girl. Thanks for all you do! Your family is in our prayers!

    We had our townhouse on the market for 4 years (and it never sold) and couldn’t hang pictures on the wall because that’s what the realtor told me. during that time 2 kids were born! Now we have moved and are renting a house and I am ready to fill it up with pictures!! I want a big family picture to hang right in the middle of our living room so I can see it when I first walk in 🙂

    Ok, I feel like I’m playing dirty here, but I’m going to do it anyway. My sweetie, Luke, has autism and getting a great photo of him is no easy task! Any spectrum mommy will tell you that it can be hard to get your child to show some expression, and add on top of that that Luke is intimidated by cameras, so any smiling picture of him is VERY special. Well, recently, Luke got selected to swim with dolphins as a part of a therapeutic program and the smiles were abundant! I took over 600 pictures that week of my smiley boy — which fell the same week as his 5th birthday no less. I would love to have one of these photos on canvas. You can check one of my favorites out at my website below. It’s on the main page. Thinking I would hang it over Luke’s bed, as a reminder for him of his special week! And yes, I email subscribe AND like you on Facebook, Happy Home Fairy!

We want to celebrate by having a photo taken of the whole family. We were blessed this week to purchase a new home with a great big blank space over the mantle and fireplace. We knew right away that we wanted a canvas portrait of our whole family there. I “like” you on fb and subscribe to the Happy Family. I follow your story and pray for your family. Like so many families on your blog, we cherish the moments God gives us and ask for strength to walk through the trials. Thank you for your inspiration.

    My brother was just visiting from Arizona and took a picture on our front lawn of our happy family. It came out so precious – our 20 month old is running toward the camera and my husband and I are admiring him in the background. My brother shadows as a wedding photographer when he’s not working as a US Federal Marshal and captured our family so beautifully. This one would be perfect in our son Sebastian’s room.

    Thanks for inpsiring us all to build a Godly Happy Home and I love ya on email and FB!

    The big boy room is inspiring and perfect! I am making plans to create a bulletin board out of a frame like you did! Love it.

    The picture I would choose for a canvas:
    My grandmother had old, green shag carpeting in her house; when we were little, we thought shag carpeting had been invented solely for us to play. We could hide things in the shag, pretend like fairies lived in the green forest, play park on the green “grass,” etc… One day, my mom captured a picture of my identical twin sister, my older brother, and me doing flips and playing obstacle course on the rug. In the picture, which is more special because our beloved green shag is the backdrop, we have created almost a totem pole of sorts, with my sister on the bottom, my brother next, and I am on top. All three of us are ecstatic and full of the joy, with huge grins. You can almost hear the laughter when you look at the picture. My brother is wearing a classic 80’s black shirt with holes all over it, and my sister and I are decked out in neon. It’s one of my favorite pictures of my childhood, because it captures growing up in the 80’s, was taken in our wonderful Nanny’s house, and we are all three deliriously happy.

    I would love this picture on a canvas! We just moved, and I have the perfect spot above my couch in our living room for this happy picture to live. It would make anyone who walked into my home grin immediately.

    These days life is a little (a lot!) crazy with a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old! My two little people just adore each other, but sibling rivalry is in full force already! No wonder I’m finding more and more gray hair 😉 Anyway, there is a beautiful picture of my son holding his new little sister on the day we brought her home. He is caressing her hair so gently… just melts my heart! That precious picture serves as a reminder to me that their love for one another is great… that despite the daily craziness of life, the Lord has blessed our family with much love!

    I am the blessed mommy of 2.5 year old triplets boys. These guys are so awesome but have had to share the spotlight their whole lives, they also have a little sister who just turned one. They are very 2 these days, and many days lately my husband comes home from work to find me in tears, from the stress of their incessant fighting. I have a dear photo though that captures them all holding hands , as they run down the road together. When I see this photo I am praying for their brotherhood to remain strong as they hopefully become great, Godly men one day… And forget about the days of biting, and whacking, each other 90 seconds:). I follow you on my email. Your Christ centered message in the midst of trial is so inspirational. Thank you!

    Julie,

    Thank you for the sweet offer. I would print a picture of my Happy Boy when he was 2 eating ice cream. It is the sweetest picture. It makes my heart melt every time I see it. It’s a moment I want to go back and freeze time. Where would I hang it? In my kitchen it’s the place we hang out most and I have the perfect spot.
    I would follow you everywhere, but am limited to Facebook, email, and blog. I love your passion for God and to have a Happy home. You inspire me to take each day and find the good in every moment. Thanks to you I have created many happy moments that I will never forget and I hope my Happy Boy won’t either.

    I’m so excited to show my children who live so far away from their Tutu Kane (grandpai) who he is with a simple picture. Just precious!

It would be so special to me because they are growing up way too fast and this way i could always have this picture of them at this size, they are now 8 10 and 12 and are all so happy at this age.

He has such a big personality…I love it!! Our family farms, so this picture is a perfect fit for our lifestyle. We would hang the canvas on our picture wall in the living room!!

    Wow…so many great stories and ideas! You aren’t going to have an easy time with this contest! Here goes my shot at it…
    I follow you on Facebook and blog, and in doing so I have realized even more that it truly is the little things in life that keep us going. My husband has been on and off ill for most of my son’s first 18 months, nothing life-threatening, but enough to where he is in bed a lot, and when he is well he is at work supporting our little family. One night after dinner we went on a family walk in a nearby field. On our first stroller free walk, my son hiked all the way to the top of the hill while holding a stick for our dog. When we got to the top, my husband picked him up and put our son on his shoulders and proceeded to walk down the other side. Our dog followed in his footsteps, literally, as they went down the hill. It is one of my favorite pictures of our family! A beautiful sunset and my 3 boys enjoying one of our nightly walks, that usually dont include all of us.

    I’m an email subscriber & Facebook follower. I’m so grateful for what you do! I love your recipes and ideas to make my home truly happy. My hubby has put in a standing request for your Aunt Greta’s brownies AT LEAST quarterly, by the way 🙂
    Without going home and pouring over all my pictures, I would probably use a picture from one of our many trips to the beach. I love to take pictures of sunrises/sunsets, because to me it is the best capture of God’s magnitude. This would be hung in our bedroom to add an element of peace and calm.

    My husband and I re-enacted a photograph my parents had taken at their wedding back in 1984. They were both leaning into their limousine with my mom’s bouquet in one hand and my dad’s hand in her other one. My husband and I had the same picture taken at our wedding in 2008! We had my parents’ photo blown up and put onto a canvas that now hangs at their house but we have yet to do the same to ours! I would definitely put that photo on a canvas!

I would love to win the canvas picture and would choose a picture of my 2 boys playing on the slip and slide- the baby is laughing as his brother is kissing his sweet little hand- I treasure the relationship the two of them share and pray it only grows with time.

    For months when we would say prayers at dinner, I would start off with “thank you for our food, home, family and friends, and thank you for providing for us…” My 5 year old foster son would cut in to say “and thank you for my mom’s frames.” I didn’t understand why he was so thankful for my picture frames, until I realized that he was in most of them, and the others were of “his [new] family”. This is the first place that he has felt that he belonged. So, if I won, I would use a picture of him and I at Richmond Beach, and hang it above the dinner table as a reminder that he does belong and that he is loved.

    If I were to win the free canvas, I would defintely get it done with one of our recent family pictures. We had a local photographer take pictures outside by the barn with me, my husband, daughter (5 years old) and step son who is 13 years old. The one I think I love the best is of the kids by themself because they are so natural looking and you can just see the love they have for each other in their eyes as they are hugging one another. Brings a smile to my face everytime I look at it. Of course these pictures haven’t made it off the disc I received so no one is erally getting to enjoy them. I would definitely hang it in the family room for everyone to see over the fireplace. I get your blogs daily and have just likes your page on facebook. Didn’t know you were on there too.

We are scheduled to take photos the first week in October once my hubby returns from Tokyo (he has been working there since May). We are taking family pictures that will include a new sweet lil’ guy we are adopting. He is six months old and we have had him for a month. God is amazing and although things have been quite different from our ‘plan’ the Lord knew all along and has been awe-inspiring in this journey. I already had an idea to do a canvas print with all of us and maybe three smaller ones of each of our children. I have liked you on facebook and I did not know to do an email subscription so I will add that now. We would hang this canvas proudly in our living room!!!

    Blessings to you and your sweet family….

The Lord has not blessed me with a husband and family of my own so these little ones are the loves of my life. Aiden is 4 and is a Down Syndrome angel and Alyssa is 2 and a half and is quite the diva. At times, my heart aches so badly to have my own family and home but I know that my God has a purpose and plan for me so I trust Him and I thank Him for the gifts of Aiden & Alyssa in my life. I would hang a canvas print of them as they play together and cherish it forever 🙂 God bless you!

She is child # 2 and I’m so sad to say we have no pictures of her hanging on the walls, it’s almost like she doesn’t exist!! The picture I would chose is one that we had taken recently at the park, she is so happy, full of smiles and she may even be sticking her tongue outM it would hang in our living room.

My 2 (almost # year olds son) just got a car bed made by grandpa and a car quilt made my grandma, I made some art work for the room. My sister – in- law took his pictures, which happen to be with a cute toy car, and this is the perfect picture to put on a canvas to add the finishing touches to his room.

    I love to take lots of pictures. However, I am almost never in any of them. Although we have considered a professional photographer it is so expensive. I have a friend who is willing to take a picture of our happy family and I would love to have a family portrait in our home which currently does not have one. I would put the canvas on our family wall which has pictures of my happy girls and myself with my hubby but not as a whole family. It would mean so much to me to have a picture of our entire family together since it seems so rare as my husband travels so much and especially since I love photography so much.

Keeping your faith and sense of humor through such an impossible tiime tells me that your faith is stronger than any circumstance the “enemy” could throw at you. I am 55 and just learning how to stand on my faith and NOT be shaken by anything that comes along, including my dad being in an ICU for almost a week last week (he just got out today AMEN)
    I do have next door neighbors, 20 months & 3 yrs. old, boys who are just like grandchildren and my first granddaughter who just turned 1 on July 31st.
    The picture would be of Hadley b/c she lives in OK with my daughter and son-in-law who is in the army (career guy), I live in New Jersey & airfare is crazy expensive over $400. round trip…enough said about that.
    My daughter got professional pictures of Hadley done for her first BD and altough it would be a very difficult decision which one to choose for the canvas I would love to have something so big for our living room so I could have Hadley with me all the time. I miss her terribly, this is not how I imagined being a grandmother would be but God provided me with Mason & Logan next door so it’s all good.

We rushed from the hospital with the newborn to meet her grandma as she was being cared for by hospice. My mommy passed away soon after that photo but the smile in the picture says it all. How wonderful for whoever wins the photo!

    When my baby was 16 days old, we had to rush him to the children’s hospital for emergency belly button surgery. I called my mom and she was working with some missionaries at the time and she had everyone start praying. My husband and I started praying as well. Long story short, we were admitted to the infant surgery unit and stayed for a few days but never had to have the surgery. We experienced a miracle and God healed my son. I want him to grow up seeing a picture of while he was at the hospital because he is a miracle. God has huge plans in store for him and I want him to remember that. I think it will hang in our living room for awhile and then maybe in the nursery after that or maybe the kitchen. I just want to be somewhere that we can all remember that God works miracles.
    And for my bonus points, I am an email subscriber and I have already liked the fairy on facebook.

    We will be moving in a month and my 6-year-old daughter will finally have her own room (she’s always shared with her 2 brothers). I love the idea of having a picture of her in her own room – one of her close-ups from when she was a bit younger!!

    The walls in my happy home are covered with pictures of family! I do have a nice empty space next to my entertainment center in the living room that a great big picture of my two kiddos would look great in! I have a happy 2 year buddy & a happy 1 year old bubbet:-) Their adorable faces are plastered everywhere, but I have one particular picture that was taken last week that I would love to showcase. It is a picture of them smiling at each other with their little foreheads touching one another 🙂 It is a great picture of how much they really do love one another (even though they dont’ always show it). When I look at it, I feel I am doing something right. I am teaching them about God’s love, my hubby & I are modeling love & kindness to them & they are simply enjoying life. I know when others see this picture of them being happy together, they will smile from ear to ear:-) I am a new (last 2 months or so) fan of your blog & an e-mail subscriber:-)

    The picture I want to get put into a canvas is actually for my cousin. Her husband just returned from his first deployment as a Marine and the picture I want is their first back in each others arms photo. She literally ran to him and almost knocked him over when she jumped into his arms. It was the sweetest moment and in the picture you can feel the emotion as he is holding her and they are almost one person they stood like this for over 20 minutes not saying anything. They are a young couple going into their second year of marriage they lost their first baby at 21 weeks 9 months into their marriage it was heartbreaking but they are truely amazing and are each others best friend. They just got their first house in North Carolina and I want this picture to remind them that they can tackle anything as long as they do it together.

    i would however choose a picture of my sweet hubbie who passed away earlier this year. This is the favorite photo of my husband taking his final walk in a pasture on his family farm. the photoe shows him walking away from us, but we all know he is walking into a cancer free eternal home.

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that

  • It’s hard to believe that 17 years ago I slept through my alarm, set my veil on fire, had 9 precious flower girls walk down the aisle before me, and we made a covenant before God that we would love and serve each other forever. We don’t do it perfectly, but, by God’s grace, we keep showing up. And he never fails to make me laugh. Happy Anniversary to the best man I know! . Photo Credit >> @heatherholtphoto ✨

So thankful for @heatherholtphoto and her expert abilities to capture what feels like a mess and make it into something beautiful. That’s some Gospel inspiration right there.
