Growing up in foster care after my parents passed away really made me appreciate life, Family and the Lord. I knew from an early age that I couldn't wait to have a Family of my own....with lots of Kiddos! :) Well, the Lord gave me three beautiful ones and I have enjoyed every minute of our Family Life. One thing that has been a bit sour is the fact that they have no living Grandparents. And we really don't know a lot about our Family and where I come from. For the past few years though we have researched a little on that and have learned a lot. This has sparked an interest of our Heritage for My Daughter Mahala. She has been scouring through photos, my parents old paper work and even made some phone calls to a few living Family members. I had never heard of CrossTimber before, but I was thrilled to have the opportunity to Review a Personalized Framed Plaque with Name Meaning and Bible Verse from them.
I have never had a gift like this other then a license plate with my name on it for my bicycle when I was 8 years old. When I went to the CrossTimber website I was WOWED!!!! There were sooooo many options and cool Gifts to pick from, I was overwhelmed. Thankfully John Dehnart who Started this wonderful company was as thoughtful as his gifts and more helpful then I could have ever expected. We emailed back and forth several times regarding names, frames and additional products. We were on our RV trip when I ordered, so I didn't get to order all that I wanted because of being in such close quarters with little eyes everywhere. :) I do plan to get a few things for Christmas for the Kiddos and a few other people I have in mind. But, for this Review I thought of one Important person to me..... my Nephew Jacob. 
Jacob has so many health challenges from seizures and being more then partially deaf to dealing with hydrocephalus. All that said he has a strong Faith in the God and even feels a tugging in his young 16 year old heart to serve the Lord through ministry. I wanted to pass this gift on to him as he starts his journey to seek God's Wisdom. John was Amazingly Helpful, Kind and you could tell through his emails that he has a Servant's Heart and Loves what he does. This added to my experience and has pushed his products to the top of my giving list this Christmas. John offers more than just Framed Art Work, but you can get Personalized Coffee Mugs, Jewelry Boxes and More. There are many styles, frames, colors and more to choose from and I guarantee you will have plenty of help deciding if you need it.
When we received our package it was all carefully wrapped and protected. I pulled it out and noticed that on top was a letter to our whole Review Team filled with personal stories, pictures of him and his Family...it was truly nice to have that personal touch from their Family. I thought this is why we buy local, we should support small businesses and Homeschoolers should stick together. Loved it!!! Now to the frame......gorgeous!!! I did kind of leave the frame choice up to John, but I picked the art and I Love it....I Love the scripture and I can't wait to give it to Jacob. I hope he will treasure it forever. John also sent me a nice quality bookmark to send to Jacob as well.
