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.

Anne Marie Criswell did a mural and a canvas painting for my young daughter's bedroom and I was amazed at how she captured exactly what I was looking for. I had a idea in mind and what she came up with far exceeded my expectations and matched everything in her room perfectly. She is a very talented artist and I highly recommend Criswell Creations!

Mandy Brenchley- My room was in the loft. It overlooked the family room, so when I went to bed, I could hear my parents talking and the t.v. which made it hard to go to sleep! I had a daybed that I loved!

We looked at old pictures of my room and compared them to her room- boy how Strawberry Shortcake has changed over the years!

auntrene said...

Maureen Graham, I remember at one time my 3 sisters and I all shared a bedroom, there are 10 years between us. We had 2 sets of bunkbeds and you could literally hang on to the posts of each beds and swing your feet between them. Which was fun until you fell. We had a lot of fun in that room giggling all night, the decor.. hmmm I had Shaun Cassidy and Peter Frampton, my youngest sister had Winnie the Pooh.. If was fun.
Thanks

Camille Petersen- I shared a room with my little sister. We had some cute stitcheries on the wall above our beds, which were done by our mom and aunt, but I never quite saw them correctly until I was much older. I would see a hand where it was supposed to be a skirt, and so on. It was economical -- but quite functional at the same time!

Becky said...

Becky Forbes - It's hard to describe my bedroom growing up because in our house we likes to swap bedrooms, as well as swap who we shared a bedroom with. So I would have to describe almost every bedroom in the house...but the big bedroom we split down the middle with wardrobes so it would feel like we had our own space which actually made our space very tiny.

Rhonda Miller said...

Rhonda Miller: I always had a decorated bedroom when I was young, as my mother made her entire home beautiful and cozy. My youngest memory is some large scale felt ric-a-rac that she used as "crown moulding" border around the room. But the most substantial memory is the intricate log cabin quilts mom made, in yellows and browns, and the "log cabin" hurricane lamps and dried flowers for accessories.

It had pink and cream wallpaper on one wall and halfway up the other three walls with cream paint on the top. I had lots of cute little crafty things on the walls (my mom made most of them).
