Just because it's snowing here in Iowa and the kids all got out 2 hours early, let's have a giveaway!
These lovebirds are from "This Thing Called Family!" This piece of wall art is 10x20 and has a dimensional metal tree and birds. It's based on a version of the custom orders that we do, but this one you can purchase right from retailers! Makes an awesome wedding, engagement, anniversary or Valentine's gift. It can be purchased online from Cranberry Junction Gifts.
One entry per person. Tell us what you'd do with this piece if you won it and be sure to leave us a way to contact you. *Tell us too, in your one comment, if you shared it on facebook!
*If you share this post on facebook, I'll throw in this friendly little owl block (just like the ones I gave out as teacher gifts,) who's rooting for you:
Really, he's cheering you on inside. Don't let the look on his face fool you.
**The easiest way to share this giveaway on facebook is to click on the "f" facebook button in the green rectangle at the end of this post.
We'll choose a winner Monday night, Jan 23, around 10pm CST.
Winner will be chosen randomly and will not be dependent on your answer! (We only asked what you'd do with it because we're nosy like that!)
Maybe then we'll start ANOTHER giveaway right away!
I LOVE your stuff. I have 2 originals and a lazy susan from your This Thing Called Family line. If I was lucky enough to win I would be selfish and keep it for myself!

I love this! I would give it to my sister and brother in law and my new little niece for their new house.
ReplyDeleteI too shared this link with all of my Facebook friends!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!! If I would win this I would hang it in my living room. This piece would go perfect in the living room!! I am getting excited just picturing it in there!

love the lovebirds! :) i would gladly hang this in our bedroom. we have lots of artwork hung in the rest of our home, but our bedroom is sorely lacking. This would fit perfectly!
ReplyDeleteSelfish? YES! I would want this hanging proudly in our entry way for everyone to see!
ReplyDeleteI am also sharing this on FB.
I would give it to a young couple that just suffered a miscarriage. It so fits what they need to be doing. So many people have said so many mean things. I have shared tears with the Mom and have said the only appropriate words.."I am so sorry" and what can I do? More tears would come, but I think it would warm their hearts and help the healing start......posted to facebook.

I'd hang it next to our wedding picture and the "I Love Us" plaque I bought at the open house! Sharing on FB. Enjoy the snow.
ReplyDeleteIf I were fortunate enough to win, I would give this to a teacher I have who is moving into a new house in March . . . one of the few truly safe people I have ever met in my life and someone who puts this into practice every day.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT and all of your work! Even though we are in Kentucky and would LOVE to have some snow, I appreciate you doing a "Snow Day Giveaway!:)" If I were lucky enough to win, I have the PERFECT couple that I would give it away to!:) I too will share this on FB!
ReplyDeleteerinannepro@gmail.com
Sooooo incredibly cute. If I'd won this, it would go to my best friend and her husband. They are THE best friends a person could imagine. And I'd love for them to have something so special.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Love all of your stuff! I'd love to have this on my wall at home! I shared on Facebook! :):):)
ReplyDeleteThis, as always, is gorgeous! It would be a fantastic addition to my birdy collection.
ReplyDeleteI shared this on FB also!

Beautiful! I'm new to your art and I'm loving it. If I won this piece, I'd place it front and center in the entryway.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to be selfish and keep it for us because I love it :) We live in IC now but are east coast bound soon so it'd be a nice reminder of our old IA home.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I would LOVE to keep it, I would actually give it away to my brother and his soon to be wife as a wedding blessing....their Big Day is May 12th this year...I think they would adore it as much as me!!! Thanks for the give-away! (Shared on FB!!!)
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the things you create. As much as I'd love to keep this, if I won it, I couldn't. A precious little 7 year old went to heaven this week. Eli Horn, from Ames, had battled neuroblastoma for 3.5 years and had come down with leukemia. I think this would be perfect for Lacey, Aaron, & Isaiah.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
P.S. I shared your page on facebook.
I was recently introduced to your art and absolutely love it. If I were to win, I would consider this a lovely birthday gift as today is my 29th birthday. My kitchen is painted teal, and I would hang it above the spot where my sweet 6-month-old daughter, Ivy, sits in her high chair and makes an absolute mess with her rice cereal!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I shared this in facebook!
I would probably hang this up in my kitchen - which my deco is blue with a birdhouse/bird theme so it would go well :)

SOOOO adorable! If I were to win this, I would hang it in my little girls' room - I have one 14 month old and about to have another little baby girl in a week or two!!! And they'll be sharing a room. The birds at the top made me think of them growing up together. <3
ReplyDeleteI've shared on my FB as well. :)

This will go in our bedroom. The colors and theme make it perfect for that room!! No pressure, but you're holding the drawing on my bithday, so. . .
ReplyDeleteI've given this very one before as a gift, and that is exactly what I'd do again. It makes a great wedding, baby shower, or Mother's Day present.
ReplyDelete=)
This has been one of my favorites since I first saw it. I do love it, but would give it to one of my kids for their home... and then I would visit it!!
ReplyDelete* Shared on Facebook too!
I love this piece! We actually gave this to a friend for her wedding. I would love to have it in our home and would hang in a grouping with the fruits of the spirit that I have from your line. It would be a good way to celebrate 42 years of marriage, always holding hands tightly!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have this perk up my bland office! Love it...

I'm sitting here just smiling at God, thanking Him for the way He delights us with little pleasures. See, I saw some of your things in Gatlinburg, TN this weekend, and loved it so. We had actually seen your Fruit of the Spirit wall hanging when my husband and I were there in October, and I went nuts over it then. My husband remembered and so we went to the store to get it for my upcoming 40th birthday (this Wednesday). Unfortunately, the color of that particular piece doesn't math our home at all. So we got home and I went searching (looking up Demdaco) to see if there were other colors. You can't buy off their website and there aren't any retailers real close to us. This morning I saw on a friend's facebook a link to your site and recognized it was the same stuff. It led me to you. Erin, my friend here, recently moved from Iowa. So I called her immediately and she gave me the whole story. So neat how it all connected!! So, I love the lazy susans. With 6 kids (3 recently adopted) the Table Manners lazy susan is so perfect :)! I'd love to win this giveaway as well. I'm thinking the art would be beautiful in our bedroom and is a great reminder to me. I'm looking forward to seeing how I can purchase some of your beautiful things. jenny.borden@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI call that whole story a God Wink ;)
DeleteLove this! I would put it in my bedroom as a daily reminder.
ReplyDeleteI shared it on Facebook.

ReplyDeleteThis would look perfect in our entry way!
OooooOoooh I would love this in my kitchen! I pinned this to my "happy place" board, because this would make me so very happy! (thanks for commenting on my pin!) I'm sharing it on twitter and facebook when I'm done with this comment. Pick me! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love all of your work and would love to add this piece to my home. I am updating the decor in my bathroom and this piece would be pefect. I absolutely love all of the custom pieces Laura has made for me! :)
ReplyDeleteWe just bought an old farmhouse. This would be a great first piece of artwork for the walls!! Love all your stuff :)
ReplyDeleteThose beautiful birds would find a comfy nesting place in the front room of my home. Nicely situated near the picture window with lots of warm sunlight so they don't fly south for winter. Or I might gift it to a friend, Alice, who has a wall of fame filled with pictures of her family and friends. A fitting place for holding hands and hearts! Thanks for sharing your talents! And I'm sharing on FB too.

ReplyDelete(Sorry - I am not on face book but have given a shout out on my "mommy board " in the past.)

ReplyDeleteI love all of your work. We are working on finishing our basement so we can start a family in the next couple of years. Your work would be perfect to adorn our new space. I also would love the owl block to go in the corner of my desk at school where I keep my owls of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteI would share the fun! I would hang one in my house and send one to my friend in California. =) Sharin' on facebook with a bunch of art lovin' people.

ReplyDeletei shared on FB. Although I would love to hang this piece on my wall, I already have one of your pieces, so I would probably give it to my sister whose b-day is coming up.

I will def post this on facebook. My entire kitchen is filled with Things with Wings/Paper Prayers and this would make a lovely addition. I have 7 originals so far but none from your new line. I always look forward to seeing you at Riverssance every fall and I always save up some extra money so I can purchase one or two of your pieces.

ReplyDeleteI would hang one for me to read daily in my home. It is a way to say a little prayer every day and be reminded that we need to think and say them. The other would go to my Grandson so he could read it every day and be reminded Grammie wants him to do his BEST!! Bette
ReplyDeleteI would definitely hang it on my wall. Our walls are pretty bare so they could definitely use this :) LOVE it!!
ReplyDeletelaurenbuckalew11@aol.com
I will probably give it to my grand daughter for her room because we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like, but when we do, we hold hands tightly and always know we are in each others heart even when we're not together. I was not familiar with your art until I received the house with wings with the word family on it for Christmas. I instantly fell in love! I also love the story behind your art. Love of family is so important! csiddell@yousq.net
ReplyDeleteLove your stuff! It would hang in my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI would hang it in my office. I'm a kids' social worker and you can never have too many reminders that nurture is one of life's basic needs...just like food and shelter! Plus it will look so great next to the "Joy is Everywhere!" creation I picked up at the Iowa City Arts Festival. Love all of your work!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it......would hang it somewhere in my house!
ReplyDeleteI would hang it in my bird themed guest bedroom. And the cute owl would belong in my classroom! You guys are so great! jamie.bartus@yahoo.com
