ChicCanvas of the Volga River....

It's just been one of those lazy Sunday afternoons. Both my boys are taking naps...































So I decided to write a little something. I've been meaning to post about this for a while but it just took us a little bit to get a picture.



So awhile back we ordered a canvas from Chic Canvas through One King's Lane that was 50% off. Go us! But when we got it, the color (Ross took the picture in Sephia on his camera which kinda turns out a little pink) just didn't look right and didn't go well with our taupe colored walls. So we called to see if we could reorder it in Black and White. Well they sent us another one free of charge and we didn't need to send the first one back. :) Which was amazing because we pretty much just got two canvas' for the price of half of one (and these weren't cheap to begin with) Well seeing that we weren't going to use the other one, we were trying to sell it. Ross didn't want to put it on Craigslist because he didn't want to buy a copyright for it but didn't want someone else to take the credit, Sooo we were asking friends and family if they wanted it. Finally a friend of mine had seen the one in our living room and asked about it and I offered her the other (pinkish) one. Which surprising she said would go perfect in her dining room. :)

Here's her's:

















And here's ours:
















(It's a picture of a branch over the Volga River in Russia btw)



So with $50 extra dollars in our pocket, we're pretty thankful for the generosity of Chic Canvas for sending us two.



Now that Ross sold his first photograph, he's had the craving to sell more and even thought about doing it as a side job for a little bit there. Just one of those fun hobbies that could potentially earn you some extra lovely mula.

I love when stuff works in your favor.



It's been so hot in the North Country, we've been doing alot of this latley:
