I’ve had the opportunity to review some great products this year, and I want to personally say thanks to everyone who sent me anything and/or provided products for giveaways this year! Today I’m looking back and sharing just a few of the products that were featured here in 2012. Below the pictures you’ll find links to the full reviews.
For me, January is all about organizing and setting new goals for the year. I like to re-access the things I did last year, see what went right and what went wrong. Then I like to set goals for the new year. And above all I see it as I time organize. And by organize, I mean everything from coming up with an organized plan to meet my goals, to decluttering and re- organizing my kitchen cabinets, to getting a new calendar and planner for the year. For today I’ve got 5 free printable 2013 calendars for you! Just click the link below each one to get the full calendar and print it out. These are great for your desk and fridge, and they’re also stylish and cute. Hope you enjoy!
I have to apologize that there are no features for today’s party. After doing a little research, I learned that the latest version of WordPress is currently experiencing some problems; that is, it is deleting some script codes such as the Linky Tools code when you schedule your posts ahead of time. For this reason, last week’s party didn’t not include the linky, and I was out all day and didn’t realize the mistake till it was too late. Oops!
But to make it up for it, I’m re-sharing these fun, printable blog planners that I shared last year. If you’re hope to get more organized with your blogging 2013, these will certainly help! [Read more…]
As you get ready organize and decorate your home in this new year, you can instantly create new looks in any room just by updating your family photos and picture frames. Picture Frame Guys has premier frames in a variety of types and colors, as well as other supplies. And their site is also a great resource of information on the materials and process of framing.
Even First Time Buyers will find it easy to place their orders, by following their four easy steps: Frame, Mat, Mounting Board and Glass.
When choosing your frame, you get to pick between the traditional wooden frame and a more contemporary metal frame.
Next you will choose your matting. The primary purpose is to put an air space between the glass and the artwork so that the two do not stick to each other over time. A secondary purpose of matting is to create a border between the frame and the artwork, thereby drawing the viewers eye inward, towards the piece. For matting, you will need to choose the grade of matting you would like, as well as the number of layers, and the color(s).
Next you will choose your mounting board, and finally you will choose your glazing. You can choose standard, anti-glare, ultra violet reducing glazing.
The perfect frame and matting will really give your artwork and family photos something extra and make them really pop!
