Day 7 Giveaway!!!!!

Tina at Living Without Sophie and Ellie had a brilliant idea of how to spread some cheer throughout this Christmas season. She orchestrated this event called 25 Days of GIVEAWAYS. It has been such a blessing to see how everyone has come together in this. For my giveaway... Day 7... I would like to offer one of two things...

My first offer is a Hope Collage Box.

The box will be about the size of an adult's shoe box, so it would serve as a good memory box for your baby's keepsakes. I have a way to transfer prints and words to the box, so the child's name would be centered on the lid and the words would surround it on the lid and four sides. I know a picture is worth a thousand words, but I actually do not have an example.

This idea sprang from a book called The Christmas Box that Jill from Footprints on our Hearts lent me. I started reading it last night and and immediately I was drawn to it because my Jenna's name is in the book! Anyway I hope you get the visual that is in my head. If you have not seen it, please visit my Hope Collage website and you may get a better idea of what this crazy idea may look like.

my second offer is...

A Hope Collage poster print (sizes may vary since the dimensions of each collage varies).



 

 


The choice is the totally up to the winner which will be announced tomorrow at noon (central time). I will be using www.random.org to generate the winner for this contest. From there I will be contacting the winner and getting all the shipping details :)

Leave a comment telling which you would like, and anything else you'd like to say.

Best of luck!

I love the idea of a Hope Collage Box! So happy the book inspired you! : ) The poster print is also a wonderful idea. Both ideas are amazing and whichever one the winner picks will be something that they can treasure.

Bree said...

What a wonderful gift. That book sounds great. I'm going to see about getting it. Thanks for sharing!

Karen said...

That is a lovely book, isn't it? How special that Jenna's name is in the story. Both of your ideas are just lovely, Franchesca. (((Hugs)))

I think the box is an awesome idea! You are so creative, I wish I was more that way....

And I want to get a copy of the Chrsitmas Box as well.

What a lovely idea, Hallmark really doesn't make a box for people like us, do they? I know the winner will be overjoyed...

Lea said...

Franchesca! Such a special and personal idea. I LOVE the idea of the Hope Collage Box. We have a "Memory Box" for Nicholas' things, but something so personalized would mean the world!

Good Luck to everyone!

Beautiful...I have loved seeing how everyone is remembering their babies. Seeing all these ideas has helped me tremendously. Your idea is so beautiful!!!

Mary said...

I would love a Hope Collage! I especially love how you made the little pink heart on Jenna's collage. What a precious way to remember our sweet girls...with a touch of pink!

Tina said...

Graet ideas Franchesca!! I think if I am lucky enough to win, I would choose the box. My girls' box is becoming full and I could use another little spot to store some of the their very preciuos things. xx

margaret said...

Fantastic idea's Franchesca. I'd love the Hope Collage poster, something I could frame and hang on my wall. The box sounds lovely too. Terrific ideas. Hugs

Mrs. A said...

Franchesca what an amazing giveaway! You are so talented! I have to admit it is a tough choice but I think I would go with the Poster, and I think I have the perfect spot for it if I win!

April said...

I love this idea! I don't know which one we'd like if we're lucky enough to win lol

Anonymous said...

I was sitting here going back and forth because they are both beautiful ideas. I think I want the box if I win. :)

Mackenzie's Mommy said...

Awesome idea!!

Allison (Ali) said...

I might want the posterlol I am indecisive

Karen said...

They both sound so beautiful so I think I would have a hard time deciding, but I think I am leaning torwards the box.

Blessings,
Karen

Maxton's Mommy said...

What great ideas... it is so hard to choose. :-) I really like th collages though, so I would likely go with one of those. there is something about seeing my son's name that brings a smile to my face. I am loving this 25 days of Christmas because I am finding so many new blogs!

I love the memory box idea. My daughters things are all still stashed in our dresser drawers and they really deserve a special place to call home. Such a wonderful idea!

Kelly said...

Beautiful idea Franchesca! I still haven't found the perfect memory box for Lucas & Thomas' things. If I won though (wishful thinking!) I'd save you the shipping to Australia and go for the Hope Collage poster option (but you could just email me the jpeg again to save shipping it!)

Very creative. I would love a memory box for Akul.

jamie said...

Your collages are so creative- I would love a memory box for Vincent - but I think I am coming a little late. Hopefully not!

Kristy said...

You do such beautiful work with the collages, I can only imagine how beautiful the memory box would be. What a beautiful idea.
