Thanks To Meijers, A Piece Of My Garden Is Hanging On My Wall!

I am just thrilled with the last campaign I was chosen for as a BzzAgent. I was asked to get a photo printed onto an 11x14 canvas. Well I had never done anything like this. To be honest our whole family is not much into hanging photos up on the walls. Yes we have pictures & paintings, but not many photographs. I also thought it was going to be something complicated and would take a long time to get ordered and back. Boy was I wrong!

It took me what seemed like forever to pick out the photo I wanted. I vacillated for days over this one or that one. If I was going to do it I wanted to do it right. Then it hit me. There were some awesome prints I had seen in a Family Christian Store that I just loved. I could do something similar with my photo program and use that. It took me no time at all to figure out which photo to use once I decided that.

I cropped the photo, added a Scripture verse that seemed to fit the photo and copied it over to a disc. When I went into town next I took it along with me and was thrilled with the service I received. The girl at the photo counter, Kimberly, was awesome! She walked me through the whole thing step by step, and they are not hard steps at all. She even knew all about Bzz and wanted to know if it was fun being apart of it. Of course I told her yes and invited her to join! Unfortunately I had to go back home and re-size my photo for it to work, but she told me how to do that too and what size would work best. Kimberly was so helpful and so sweet!

I went back to the Meijers store a short while later and sat at the kiosk and in no time had my photo uploaded, ordered and receipt in hand! What surprised me was that it would be ready the very morning. I ordered it around 4 PM! That's awesome. Now yes I know it was done by computer and all, but still to have it ready that fast is great!! What a perfect last minute gift for someone. What a wonderful gift of any kind for someone.

Oh the verse I used was John 15:11, "These things I have spoken to you , that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full".  I know the photo doesn't show the verse too well, but in person it is very readable!

I highly recommend trying this for yourself. After showing it to some of my friends they can't wait to get one for themselves. Hopefully your Meijers will have a Kimberly who will help you with anything you have trouble with too. The hardest thing for you is simply what picture are you going to use?

I received a coupon to have a free 11x14 canvas print made at Meijers from BzzAgent. In no way had that influenced me or my opinion. I received no other compensation.
