Julie's Journal

This Saturday marks the 9 month anniversary of our wedding. It seems like we’ve been together forever, so it’s hard to believe we have only been married for nine months. It’s even stranger to tell people that we’re newlyweds. I think that term is more useful for the young, first time, married people. Anyway….moving right along.

I’ve been trying to think of types of anniversary gifts that I could get him, but I keep coming up empty handed. Everything I think of is kind of generic, and just doesn’t feel special enough. But I did come across something he would like; art!

He loves art, and this company PaintYourLife.com will take one of your photographs, and have an artist hand paint it for you into a portrait. They offer oil, charcoal, watercolor, pastel, pencil and acrylic paintings, ranging from wedding pictures, kids, houses, landscapes, vehicles, whatever you want painted, they will do it. Just go take a look at the examples on the website. They are REALLY good!

It’s really easy to do also! You just upload your digital image to them. They will paint it for you, then upload a picture of it on the website for you to take a look at and see if you want any changes or anything else. They will only ship it to you when you are completely satisfied. It looks so interesting doesn’t it?
