Just a reminder that this HOT offer is still available and these would make wonderful Christmas gifts!  You will need to order before Dec. 9 to get your canvas print in time for Christmas.

For a limited time, you can get a FREE 8×10 Photo Canvas from Canvas People or $55 off any size Canvas.  You will need to pay shipping which is around $15, but since these are regularly priced at $55 this is a sweet deal.

I ordered two the last time these were available and absolutely love how they turned out!

~A Christmas Carol

Welcome to Day 2 of our Beautiful Christmas on a Budget series.  I’ve teamed up with five other bloggers to share tips on how to have a Beautiful Christmas without breaking the bank.

Head on over and enjoy her post.  Then be sure to stop back here tomorrow night when I’ll be sharing my thoughts on meaningful Christmas traditions.

The season of Christmas holds such deep meaning for me.  I just really want to celebrate it well.

Don’t you?

That’s why for I’ve teamed up again with three other bloggers to share tips on how to have a Beautiful Christmas without breaking the bank.  We are going to share practical, simple advice to help you enjoy this season to the fullest and save money at the same time.

To get us started, Sharon at Good, True, and Beautiful will be sharing some simple tips on how to make gorgeous Christmas decorations for free.  Grab a cup of coffee, set your Pandora station to something Christmas-y, sit back and enjoy her wonderful post.

Here are a few teasers for the rest of the week:
