Giveitaway Giveitaway Giveitaway NOW!

This weeks giveaway is sponsored by Kristen at Kristen's Creations. I'm so excited to host this giveaway as I have always really liked the work she does with the frames she makes. So without any further ado, I would like to introduce to you Kristen.

Hi, my name is Kristen, I'm a mother of one and wife to a great guy of 15 yrs. I worked at an interior store for several years until it recently closed. I have done silk and fresh floral design and am now getting my creativity out by designing frames. Some of them are done in a 3d manor inside the frame, and others you can put your own picture inside. I started making these Christmas 2007 and sold several in the shop. When the shop closed, I decided to try selling them online and to customers in my hometown. I hope to come up with allot more designs soon. I can also custom make one of your choice as long as the materials are available. Please visit my blog at Kristen's Creations. Thank you!

Now that you have met Kristen, let me show you a few of the examples of Kristen's work. Please feel free to click on any image to enlarge for better viewing.








So now that you have an idea of what Kristen does, let me show you how we do it here. We giveitaway giveitaway giveitawaynow! There are two wonderful frames being given away, the first is this initial frame in which Kristen will fashion whatever initial you like to customize it.





The second is this great Spring frame:





Both of these frames will allow you to put your own pictures in them if you like. They are both being given away. There will be separate winners for each frame here are the rules:


This giveaway is open to anyone who would like to enter.

Leave a comment on this post and receive two entries one for each frame.

Giveaway ends Sunday March 22nd at 12:00 noon CST.

You can leave a comment each day during the contest period for 2 additional entries per day. Please only one comment per day per person. This is a total of 12 possible entries per person, if entered each day during the giveaway period.



That's it! So get on over to Kristen's Creations and check out her blog. Also go by her Etsy Store and view some of the other great frames that she makes. Many of these are customizable if the materials are available. They also make super Mother's Day gifts! Make sure you tell her you saw her giveaway here at Fort Thompson!

If you have a product that you would like to advertise here at The Fort in a giveaway, we want to hear from you! Send me an email if you are interested or know someone who might be.



Love and Prayers,

April said...

Oh, I love those cute frames, Tim! I'm in for sure!

By the way, I just watched the video of Taylor and Will choosing winners for your other giveaway. They are precious! Taylor was so serious about the whole event and poor Will wasn't very happy...bless his heart!

Have a super day! ;)

Courtney and the Boys said...

Adorable! Simply adorable.

And I was cracking up at your little southern drawl again during the announcement of the winners last night. The way you were trying to get Taylor to say the word "life" kept sounding like "l-ah-f". :) I'm such a Yankee. Don't go bustin' out any cracklins on me.
