When people come into my home, they always say … where did you get that cool picture?
The cool picture is actually the icon of my blog, Reluctant Entertainer, as it’s a Dollar Store Goblet which I write about often.
My husband took the picture about 6 years ago, and then we turned it into a beautiful rolled canvas.
Entertaining doesn’t have to be perfect, but it can be beautiful and affordable, and this elegant canvas hanging in my dining area reminds me of this.
I love to share this message with others as well.
Today UPrinting is giving away a rolled canvas print.
Maybe you have something beautiful in your garden or yard that you’d like to turn into a canvas, or a stunning photo from a recent trip. If you’re like me, you may have a son graduating in a few weeks!
A rolled canvas is also a great idea for a family photo.
I especially think about my foodie friends who are amazing photographers, how just the right food or entertaining photo could turn be turned into amazing canvas prints! A work of your own art!
The ideas go on and on …
Here are the details:
Prize details:
One (1 ) piece 16″ x 20″ rolled canvas print, for one winner with 2-inch border (or no border)
1 Business Day Turnaround
Free shipping to US only
Restriction: 18 years old and above only

Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this "icon" portrays a great message. 
I want to share with you some of my favorite places to visit in blog-land, sites that I learn from and am inspired by, and some beautiful friends that I’ve met over the years.
I have a photo I took from my first trip to Napa that I’ve wanted to turn into a canvas! Its beautiful and I want to look at it every day!

My daughter took a picture of the backyard while my wife and i were carting mulch back there. The wheel barrow is just about out of sight and the view makes all the hard work look like it should be in a magazine. It just made me realize the ones in magazines look better in pictures than in real life. I don’t need to fret so much.

I gave my in-laws a canvas print as a Christmas gift, I would love to give one to my parents as a just because gift because they are going through some very difficult emotional times right now with ailing family members. Then maybe I will give one to myself. Thank you Sandy for this giveaway.

My uncle painted a portrait of my grandmother on her wedding day which he won awards for. Since, it has not held up well to several moves. I would like to get it printed on a rolled canvas to be preserved for future generations.
