The very lovely people at Photobox asked me if I would like to try my hand at creating a collage canvas print. Now, it's no big secret that I really enjoy taking photos and capturing our memories. I am by no means a photographer but I do love to display my photos! So I of course said that I would love to review a photo collage.

The collage canvas prints come in sixteen different sizes and start from just £32.99 (currently on sale -at the time of writing this post- starting from £10.00). You also have a choice of three depths.

I chose the 50x40 size. It was really simple and easy to upload my photo's to photobox and arrange them the way I wanted them on the canvas. It really didn't take very long at all!

You just click on "Upload image" and away you go. You can choose to upload images from your facebook, instagram and other websites, or you can upload photos directly from your computer.

 It's easy to arrange and rearrange where you would like your photos go. You can also choose different layouts and backgrounds etc. It took me no time at all to upload my photos and arrange them the way I thought they looked best!


My collage canvas print arrived a couple of days after I'd ordered it and was packaged in a big cardboard box. I couldn't wait to open it!! Inside the box, the canvas itself was protected with bubble wrap and cellophane to prevent it from getting damaged while in transit. I noticed how high quality and well made the canvas collage print is. The photos are bright and look amazing!
The canvas is mounted on a solid wooden frame and then stapled onto the wood making it nice and sturdy. 


I really do love my collage canvas print, it's truly stunning! A few people have commented on how nice it looks! My house doesn't feel like a home unless there are photos on display and what better way to display them than with a canvas collage print from photobox!
I would totally recommend collage canvas prints from photobox. I feel that canvas collage prints would also make a very special gift.

Photobox have a wide range of photo products, such as photo calenders, phone cases, photo books and so much more.

I was credited money/coupon on my photobox account to purchase this photo collage canvas print, for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own, honest, personal opinion. 

This is a photo of Ellie when she was a baby, seven years ago! Or just under seven years ago. Doesn't feel like it's been that long, it's crazy how fast they grow up isn't it?!

I really, really love this time of year. It's my absolute favourite time of year (besides Christmas!)


It's such a beautiful time of year. It's not too hot and it's not too cold which I personally think it perfect.

 I love the colours and the scents of Autumn. Bonfires and crispy leaves. Ellie also told me today that she loves the crunchy leaves, too! Over the next week or so we're going to go on a nice Autumn walk and take lots of photos, look for conkers and acorns. Last year we made some lovely Autumn acorn faces, which the little's loved so much! We really want to achieve everything on our Autumn bucket list this year.


I also love lighting a scented candle in the evenings, either curled up on the sofa in my PJs with a good book, watching T.V or of course, blogging! I don't have any time during the day to relax, so I do enjoy a relaxing evening - having some ME time (which doesn't happen very often, I might add!) I brought this candle when it was on sale in Tescos and tonight I have lit it, it's vanilla scented and it smells divine.


The meadow always looks so beautiful this time of year. It's just a pitty that they 'trimmed' the willow tree! Oh well, it'll grow back and to be fair, it was rather over grown.


And! It's also onsie weather! Yes, Harry is wearing his Christmas onsie but it is rather cute. Can't believe how grown up he is now - he'll be ELEVEN in a couple of weeks or so. Whoa.

I also love the fact that it's almost Halloween followed by bonfire night! It's such an exciting time of year. Ohhh and wooly jumpers & boots!!
I also hope to get my bake on this week and make some Autumnal themed cakes and otehr goodies, if you have any recipes/suggestions of things I can (easily) make, let me know in the comments, or you can tweet me: @OoserzoO

The only downfall to Autumn? The spiders. Yuck! They seem to be really huge this year, too! My cat likes to chase them, I however, run in the opposite direction.

What are your favourite things about Autumn? Let me know in the comments :)

Savouring the season.

 We were very kindly sent this lovely Ferguson 6600 tractor and Land rover & sheep trailer set to review from www.tomy.co.uk.

My children absolutely LOVE tractors! Charlie is nine years old and still has a love for tractors. I am making hte most of him playing with toys because before long he will out grow them. Ellie also loves tractors and farm sets! I think it's great that my children still love to play with toys & get creative with them.

The packaging of both sets are lovely and strong. Both came in a nice red box and were packaged in plastic packaging with plastic ties to keep them tightly packaged.


The little ones couldn't wait to get them out of the box and play with them!


The tractor is made from plastic and metal making it very hard wearing and easy to move/wheel around. It's a lovely red colour and looks very realistic indeed. The tires are made of like a rubbery material. It slides lovely along the floor and is very easy for the kids to play with. There's a lot of detail put into the tractor. The inside of the tractor has a steering wheel and seat etc. The outside of the tractor also has lots of very cool detail - just like a real tractor. "It looks so real, just like a tractor" Charlie said. "I love the wheels, they're big and chunky like a real tractor" Is what Ellie said!


The Land Rover is also made of metal and plastic and just like the tractor, is easy to wheel around the floor! It's a dark green and silver in colour, which makes it look very realistic. Again, there is a lot of detail put into the Land Rover. The hood on the back comes off and just clips back on! The little's thought that was super cool! The Land Rover itself has so much detail - a steering wheel and interior with seats inside. Charlie loved the door handle detail and the number plate. It's also very well made. The trailer just slots onto the back nice and easy. It's also easy to remove, too.


The Land Rover set also comes with a sheep pen, three little sheep, a sheep dog and of course the farmer! "The sheep look so cute" Ellie declared. Ellie and Charlie thought the sheep pen was a nice touch to the set.


The little's not only played with the tractor and Land Rover set inside, they also played with them outside in the long grass - just like a real farm! They had a wonderful time playing with them in the garden and playing farms. They got very creative with the tractor, Land Rover and the animals! Ellie set it all up like a real farm.  Ellie was all "The sheep dog is chasing all the sheep back into the pen" while Charlie drove the Land Rover with the farmer in the back.


It was lovely to see them getting creative, imaginative and playing nicely together.

I would definitely recommend these toys. My children haven't stopped playing with them! They'd also make a really nice gift.

Please note: These toys are aged 3+ due to small parts.
