Three years ago I jumped on the adult coloring book bandwagon and haven’t looked back since. I enjoy sitting down in the evening while watching TV and coloring. It helps me to relax and to unwind after a long day. Not only is it relaxing, it’s a great way for me to explore my creativity at the same time.

Before I get started with my review…I wanted to let you know that I used premium glitter gel ink pens to color in the designs that I’m featuring in my post. In my honest opinion, they’re the best glitter gel ink pens in the retail marketplace!
If you’re a fan of vintage Christmas prints and images, you’re going to LOVE this new book! The front half of the book contains 30 high-quality, ready-to-frame reprints which you simply remove from the book and frame. They’re perfect to decorate your home for the holiday season. On the back of each page you’ll be given the artist’s name, title of the print and the name of the issue that the print appeared in. The images include multiple decades from the early 1900’s through the mid 1950’s.
The second half of the book contains the matching black & white coloring pages which you will then color-in using your favorite coloring medium. What I really like is that I can look at the reprint in the front of the book to see how I should color-in the matching design or I can get creative and use my own imagination. These designs are pretty detailed in nature and will take you a few hours to complete each one.

It is hard to believe but we are now into the month of November. Millions of people have been busy preparing for the upcoming holidays and that includes holiday shopping.
One of the things that I think makes the perfect holiday gift is a piece of new artwork and shopping for that artwork online is a super easy process when you shop at Photos.com.
Photos is a wall decor site, where you can purchase Getty Images as wall decor. The images are printed on a variety of materials like; canvas, acrylic, metal, wood and paper. All of the images arrive quickly and are ready to hang! Talk about choices? Well, they have thousands!
For this review, I was allowed to select a piece of artwork from their store and since I decorate in a coastal beach style, I immediately fell-in love with this beautiful beach scene of the sun setting at night. In addition, I selected to have the image printed onto a gallery wrap canvas.
There are different types of materials you can have your image printed on and you have sizing options and framing options too. Personally, I selected the gallery wrap for my canvas which means the image wraps around the sides. That is especially nice if you are not framing it.
There is a beach that we love to visit several times a year and it looks exactly like this image. The sunsets are absolutely beautiful when we catch them and this one was captured beautifully. Check out those vivid colors? They almost jump off the canvas and it really is a statement piece hanging in our family room.
My new wall art arrived quickly to my home. It came double boxed and it was safely secured inside. Within a few minutes we had it out of the box and hanging on our wall. Very impressed! I would NOT hesitate in making a purchase with this company at all.
The holidays are quickly approaching and wall art always makes a great holiday gift. It is something the gift recipient will treasure for years to come and they will always think of you when they see it.
