About Cristi's Creations

I am a thirtysomething wife and work at home mom of an enthusiastic, wonderful two year old son and a beautiful baby boy. You could also say I'm a bit of a "creative junkie." My biggest creative outlet is that of photographer. However, I am also a blog nut. After months of searching the web, trying to find cute and unique blog backgrounds (and ones that wouldn't erase any of my sidebar elements), I finally figured out how to create them myself. I wanted to "share the love." So, during the Christmas season, I decided to make this little website so that my friends and family could also use the backgrounds that I had made. It's sort of just spread from there. I love doing it! (It's always nice to have another creative outlet and way to give service.) It's totally free - no strings attached. Seriously! If you do decide to use any of them, I'd love for you to comment about what you think! (Commenting helps me know what the general public prefers and which directions to take my future creations.) Thanks! Loves! Cristi :)

Prayers

Please keep us in your prayers. The birth mother has changed her mind. So no baby for us in the near future. :( I'm having a rough time right now. I'll try to get back to creating backgrounds soon. Love, Cristi

Hi Cristi. I have been a fan of your backgrounds for some time and I was so excited to see your announcement a few months ago about the possibility of adopting a baby boy and I am heartbroken for you about the latest news. Adoption is a huge part of my life, I am a birth mother and my wonderful husband is adopted. As a birth mother, I know how difficult the decision is to place a baby but I know for me personally it was the best decision I ever made. I have counseled many birth mothers after the years and I want to bear witness that all things happen for a reason and that there is a baby out there for you and they will eventually make their way home to you. It may not happen in a month or even a year, but it will happen. I love and appreciate the couple who adopted my baby and I know without a shadow of a doubt that I knew them in heaven. Meeting them I knew I had known them at a different time and place. I have so much respect for people who choose to adopt these wonderful little babies, even though the process is so difficult. I will most definetely keep you in my prayers as I pray for adoptive couples and birth mothers every day.

HI Cristi. I, too, follow your blog and love your backgrounds. Thank you for sharing your creations with everyone. I am so sorry for what you must be feeling and going through. That must be so hard and I will definitely keep you in my prayers. My husband and I just recently had twins, a boy and a girl about 5 months ago but our son died just 17 days after he was born. Our little girl is doing great and is home now. They were born at 23 weeks. So I don't know exactly what you are going through but you seem like a strong and positive person and Heavenly Father knows and loves you and again, like what everyone has said, has a plan for you. Thanks again for sharing your talents and creations with all of us.
