With nearly 23,000 hits to my site in less than a year, and with Thanksgiving and the Holidays coming up, I decided it was about time that I do my very first ever blog giveaway! As for the prize, I thought it would be appropriate that you win something that I have made, since this is, after all, Cristi's Creations. However, I am not a very crafty girl - like so many others out there in cyberspace. Pretty much the only things that I can do (besides creating blog backgrounds) are take pictures and sing (and I'm only amateurish at those). So, if you win, you will have to be stuck with something created by yours truly as your prize. You have been warned. Now enter at your own risk ...
Here's how it works: You will receive one entry simply for leaving your name in a comment here. A second entry will be received by looking through the following 10 backgrounds and telling me which is your favorite that I have created so far. A third entry for mentioning this giveaway on your own blog. And a fourth entry if you actually use one of my backgrounds and then let me know (include a link so I can see).
Four ways to enter, four ways to win!
Tell me which of the following backgrounds you like best:
Option 1 - "Easy Breezy"
Option 2: "Sun Porch"
Option 3: "Zebra"
Option 4: "Floral Smoothie"
Option 5: "Seaside"
Option 6: "Little Garden"
Option 7: "Cristi's Photography"
Option 8: "Sweet Rainbow"
Option 9: "Just Breath"
Option 10: "Top of the World"
Or feel free to peruse my designs and tell me your very own favorite, even if it's not posted here as one of the 10 to choose from.
Now ...
The prize: an 8x12 digital fine art print of your choice (from the following 7 images taken by moi)
OR ... the following CD that I had the opportunity to record a solo on a few years back:
OR ... if none of these prizes suit you, I can surely think up something else that you WILL like! So play anyway! :)
You will have until next Monday, November 2nd to enter. That gives you only ONE WEEK. On your mark, get set, play!

You are so talented! I would love to win . . .My favorite background is the zebra one. Hope things are going well with you and Leo.
Hey Cristi! Well I love a lot of the backgrounds...but right now I'm feeling sassy so I'd go with #3 Zebra! :)
Love,
Cate Sheffer
I really like #6 "little garden." here's the link to my site which I will be using your background on. How fun!

Hi Cristi - My fave is #2 - sun porch. I love the colors and the shapes and motion. The birch trees are a close second.
I like the trees. It is really cool. I am not that smart when it some to doing back grounds so I have not used yours yet. When I figure it out I will use it.
CRISTI! this is so fun! i will post it on my blog! my favorite one is #6 although it was hard for me to choose! and i've been using your backgrounds since you started cristi's creations! i love them! but in case you want to check...alanandkiersten.blogspot.com - love you!
Hi Cristi-it's me leaving a comment and I love #7 of the Aspens, I have loved that photo ever since I saw it at your house while we were there and I have wanted one so very badly--I even thought of it the other day while looking at the changing leaves here (boy how could I get a copy of that photo of Cristi's?). So I hope I win! I don't want to change my background (one of yours) because I've become so attached to it-I know that's weird, but every time I try to change it, it just doesn't look right!
Love you~

Hey, thanks for the nice comments on my blog. you are so cute. I dont' have your email, so I"ll just leave you a message on here. thanks!
Hey Cristi! I love all of your new backgrounds but if I had to choose one: I would pick the Seaside one! I live in the Great Northwest and my husband and I spent our honeymoon at the beach and touring lighthouses...so as you see, the beach and lighthouses will always have a special place in my heart! And I love the gifts you are presenting! The photos of the temple are exquisite! Thank you for doing this and here's hoping! Give your little guy a hug for me! Darci
I like option 7 or 9 best. I like the simple ones with florals best I think. I'm using one of your backgrounds on my blog-http://www.losingitthesensibleway.blogspot.com/
