Printcopia Canvas Print (giveaway)

January 24, 2014 By Anne

Before we moved almost two years ago I always took my children to get their photos done together at the mall. I have some really awesome framed photographs of my children. But since the move it took me awhile to find some place affordable to their pictures taken. I found a neighbor that does photography part time and she took the kids to the beach for a photo shoot.

Now that I have all these pictures I wanted to do something different with them than just printing and framing. Printcopia emailed me and asked if I wanted to try out their Canvas Prints for free and let you all know how I liked it. Of course I said yes! This was what I was looking for. Canvas prints are really pretty and give a 3D effect to your pictures.

I was able to get the 11×14 size which normally retails for $78.78 but right now they are 25% off. You can choose two different thicknesses. I chose the stand thickness. You can upload from your computer or one of your social networks. The next step in ordering is how to wrap the canvas. See my picture above – I had them image wrap so the image wraps around the frame. You can also mirror image or choose a color for the boarders.

You then can choose weather to have a standard wall hanger or a canvas stand. I knew I wanted this on my wall so I chose the first option. Printcopia only uses non-toxic and eco-friendly inks and all their canvas are made in the USA. If you are not satisfied they also offer 100% satisfaction guarantee.

I was very impressed by them. The canvas material is thick and looks very durable. I love the print and think it will last a long, long time. I had a perfect spot between the kitchen and dining room. I love it!

Printcopia also has many other services to choose from. IN addition to canvas they also offer traditional prints, framed prints, panoramic, acrylic and wall decals. I would love, love to try their acrylic prints with one of pictures from that photo shoot. And would think this wall decal below would great in my living room!

Printcopia has other related sites where you can purchased custom items – www.buildasign.com and www.alliedshirts.com.

My charity Helping Hands of Nocatee brought food to a nearby homeless shelter. We cooked and served it on Sunday. I was excited to be able to get my kids involved. We had about 10-12 volunteers altogether.

Teenage Drivers

January 20, 2014 By Anne

A teenage driver who has just earned his or her driver’s license is anxious to get out on the road and go places! However, it’s a wise idea for parents to sit down with teenagers to talk about car insurance. After all, one day a teenager will have his or her own car and need to pay auto insurance. Certainly, there are some things that a teen should learn about the process. For instance, a teenager may want to know the reasons why different people pay different rates of car insurance. Here are some points to make to a teenager when answering this question.

A person’s driving record plays a big role in the amount he or she pays for car insurance. For instance, a person who has never been in an accident of any kind will likely pay a lower amount for car insurance than someone who has been in more than one accident. The person who has never been in a car accident is a better risk to an insurance company than someone with a few accidents on his or her driving record.

Younger people usually pay more in car insurance than older people. A sixteen year old with his or her first driver’s license is inexperienced on the road. Consequently, there is a higher chance that he or she will have an accident. Of course, the teenager may be very careful and avoid accidents. This contributes to lowering the teen’s car insurance rates over time. Trying to find the best car insurance for 2022 can be tricky, but there are plenty of resources out there to help you with this, from comparison sites to articles that go into a little more detail about some of the best policies that are out there.

Another factor that determines someone’s car insurance rate is the type of car he or she drives. Some cars have a reputation for being especially safe. In fact, cars are safety tested and the results are published for the benefit of potential car buyers. A person who drives a car with a notable safety record is likely to get a lower rate of insurance than someone with a car that is less safe. People who drive older cars sometimes have to pay higher rates because the car doesn’t have airbags and other safety features of today’s cars.

Finally, a person who rarely drives may get a lower car insurance rate than someone who drives every day. For instance, a traveling salesperson may have to drive his or her car several hundred miles a month. This presents more opportunities to get into an accident. Anyone interested in car insurance in Arizona should contact a Phoenix insurance agency with specific questions about rates.
