Today, April 8th, we are Giving Away...(PRIZE CLAIMED)



An Adorable Painted Canvas of Choice from Criswell Creations

Could you use a fun and delightful painting to brighten up your child’s room? Or to give as a gift to a child you know? If so, you have come to the right place today.

Anne Marie Criswell is a talented Utah artist who specializes in custom canvas paintings and murals for children's rooms and nurseries. If you have a mural in mind for a wall or room in your home, you can find Anne Marie’s contact information on her website here. She will be happy to give you a quote. Go here to look at some of the unique murals she has done.

Today Anne Marie is offering a 12x12 canvas painting such as these to one lucky winner. You can enter to win the canvas painting for you (or someone you know) up to THREE times. This giveaway is open to those who are living in the United States.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry visit Criswell Creations’ website here. Look at all of her cute paintings. Then come back to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and describe the painting you would like if you win.
Example: Jane Doe: Tugboat Toot Toot Toot

For a third entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and describe your childhood room.
Example: Jane Doe: My little sister Traci and I shared a room. We had bright red shag carpet, the walls were pink (as were the bedspreads), and we had a wallpaper strip which displayed all of the letters of the alphabet. After the lights were out Traci would ask me to tell her the “Bobby Story”—which consisted of stories I would create each night about a boy named, you guessed it, Bobby.

The winners of the canvas painting from Criswell Creations will be announced Thursday, April 9th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to check out our new giveaway for the day. And don’t forget to enter a mom you know in our Mother’s Day Contest. For more details, go here.

hailey Allen: I am creating my daughter's nursery and I am making it a custom jungle theme. The crib skirt is going to be a giraffe pattern with solid colored sheets. I am painting a large tree on the wall and wanted some jungle characters either framed or painted on the wall. The jungle animals would be perfect!

I had my own room for a while, then shared with my sister. I had red shelves.

andrea said...

andrea park: I had to share a room with my sisters, in military and then rental housing. They were boring, white rooms that couldn't be painted. I did love my white daisy sheet set though. I would dream about a girly princess room with a canopy bed.

Nicholle Young-I had the coolest closet. It was over the stairway and was really deep. It could be a castle or cave or whatever you wanted it to be!

Then I had my own room with navy blue walls and rose colored carpet, then my next room I had beige walls and beige carpet with navy blue accents everywhere...I always wanted navy blue carpet, but it would have been too hard to keep clean! :-)

All I remember about my room is that it was flowery and I shared it with my sister and it seemed like it was always a huge mess and we would clean it by shoving everything into our walkin closet...making it impossible to be able to walk in.

Shauna said...

Shauna Brown: My child hood rooms were not that special. What did make them special is that I always shared a room with one of my siblings. First was my brother who was one year younger than me, then my little sister when she was really little, then one of my older sisters and then back in with my little sister. No matter what the room was like, the memories and bond that I have with them (especially my little sis) are priceless!!

Cheryl said...

Cheryl Bowe: Love the flower one

The Smiths said...

bethany smith: I had a tall white dresser with a white daybed covered with a Holly Hobbie quilt. And I had lots of cute white shelves to display my collection of porcelain dolls.

I shared a room with my sister so my parents put the bunk bed in the middle of the room. Then we had our own space. I used to push the bed over just a little bit everyday to give my side more room.

Megan McGinity, bees- love the bees- I would love it more if it were birds :)

Kara said...

Kara Thomas: Growing up I shared with my sister and we never had a certain color scheme in the room, but we had quilts my mom made us. They were the same fabric, just different colors. I had a pink one and my sister had a sage green one (our other sister had a purple one)

Erin said...

Erin Poulsen : we moved around a lot and I remember one of my bedrooms was above the garage and i loved to look out the window and watch people.

Jenni Hoban: I was an army brat, so I never really had a room of my own. When I was born I shared a room with my older sister. (I threw up in her hair once during the night, but that was about as exciting as it got.) Other than that we moved from place to place and had mismatched furniture, white walls - always, no fancy bedding, no pictures...very plain rooms. I guess that's why I'm so adamant that my kids have fun rooms!
