Still hunting for that perfect Mother’s Day gift? I haven’t even bought CARDS, for pete’s sake, ugh! Well, here’s a little bug in your ear: Photofiddle.com. Heard of them? They were recently mentioned by the New York Times— and it’s a cute site! Basically what Photofiddle does is turn your uploaded photo into a “work of art” that is put on canvas or as an art print, then framed and shipped out to you. You can choose various art mediums: watercolor, oil, Pop Art style, and more. It’s very affordable and makes a really nice, ultra-personal gift, and would be perfect for those hard-to-think-of-something-creative Mothers day gifts.
Right now, Photofiddle is having a nice promotion: a $10 gift certificate you can claim by emailing [email protected]. It’s open until May 4th. You can find more details about Photofiddle.com at their website, or follow them on Twitter (http://twitter.com/photofiddle) to keep up with other discounts and contests.
Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
