Step 3 – sit back and relax! Ookpix prints and ships your item for FREE

Being the selfish little elf I am, I chose to make something for myself! There is a snapshot from our wedding my husband and I have both always loved. It is not a professional photo, a friend snapped it on a basic camera. The photo is of us and our whole wedding party (all of our bff’s) on a rooftop, drinking champagne and laughing. Every time I look at it, it makes me smile. My hubby and I have always said “we should get that enlarged.”

What I did up through Ookpix is way better than a simple enlargement. I selected a landscape style 30×20 canvas. My favourite photo is now printed on a beautiful artist-quality canvas, and hand stretched around a solid wood frame. It arrived on my doorstep just a few days after placing my order!

The print will hang in our basement, in the bar area…where we often gather with the special people in that photo. Ookpix has proved to be a very personal and affordable way to decorate our home.

I am now in the process of selecting more photos to have done up for friends and family this Christmas. Watch for more Ookpix posts this week from ‘FFF Bloggers’ Tara and Lise…who created their own unique Ookpix pieces!
