Give The Gift Of Art #AlphabetPhotography

My husband & I love art.  He happens to be an artist and currently in school as a Fine Arts major.  We're really picky on how we decorate our home so when the opportunity came up to own a custom piece from Alphabet Photography... I was excited but also a little worried.  I loved the options I saw on their site, their prices are really reasonable but could they live up to our standards?  I had Chris place our order and within a week, our order was here.  The moment I opened the box and pulled out the carefully and thoughtfully wrapped package... I knew it would be love.  Everything from the ribbon to personally addressed card was awesome.  I love little details like that.  It means people truly love what they do and they genuinely care.  It speaks volumes.

Chris, Duke and I were so excited to open the kraft wrap but I was positioned closer to seeing it first and I gasped, "Oh my goodness, It is so beautiful!" Chris begged me to show him already and he was stunned at how fantastic it came out.  He chose our last name in bright Vegas Signage letters in Chocolate Frame with Double Mat and V-Groove.  The prints are so vibrant and eye catching.  The workmanship is excellent.  Our custom piece came signed and dated by Alphabet Photography founder and photographer Jennifer Blakeley. When Chris hung it up in our living room, our 6 month old Omar immediately noticed.  He couldn't stop looking at it for a few days.

It fits our family, it fits our home, it is us.  Alphabet Photography lived up to our standards and then some.  If you are looking to give the perfect gift this Holiday season, this is it.  Alphabet Photography's personalized products are exceptional.




The perfect customized gift that includes photographs from all over the world, this is the original Alphabet Photography. Celebrity owners include: Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate, Tyra Banks, Ryan Seacrest, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, John Schneider, Nelly Furtado, and many more!

Preview Target's Black Friday Ad Now

I can't believe Thanksgiving is already next week.  I love Black Friday, getting the paper on Thanksgiving and going through the ads was a tradition that started with my mom when I was younger.  Last year was a Black Friday for Chris and Duke, we made out like bandits because we planned and strategized.  I doubt we're going to do it this year because of Omar.

Kroger Cart Buster Savings Event 10/7-10/20 #CleverCartBuster #Spon

The beginning of Fall signals the start of Holiday season in our home.  That means I need to kick it into high gear and start getting my Christmas shopping done.  Holiday shopping isn't only shopping for gifts but stocking up on everything from Bounty Paper Towels to Duracell Saver Packs!  Bounty to help me clean during the many hours I'll be slaving in the kitchen and Duracell batteries for the gifts I'll be giving or the kids will be receiving.  I learned my lesson a few years ago when Duke got a remote-controlled car for Christmas from a friend and we didn't have extra batteries.  He was so bummed that he had to wait till December 26th to play with one of his new toys.  Now we make sure we're stocked up during the Holidays cause you never know what someone might give you or the kids.
