What is CrossTimber?

CrossTimber creates beautiful items that spell out the name, along with the name's meaning and a scripture. The name and meaning of the name is set against a beautiful background image and a scripture. CrossTimber provides framed name meaning gifts in 5X7, 8X10, as well as coffee mugs and music boxes as well. The one I received is 5X7 single name plaque with name meaning, scripture and image of elephants in a nice wood frame.

This video that the company put together shares some exciting news:

The background of the company is closely tied to a homeschooled family who signed up a boy for driver's ed with a public school. In an effort to connect to the other students and to bless them, the boy created name meaning cards for each of the kids in the class. As he handed the cards to each student and said their name, he watched their hearts soften and some even apologized for how they had previously treated him. Later, he printed several name cards to have on hand when he met people. In fact, this is how he met the girl who is now his wife. This boy, his wife, and children now run CrossTimber.

The ordering process was easy, and the communications from the company were great - complete with name meaning descriptions for both my husband and my names as well as our surname within the correspondence emails:

How Did We Use It?

I was so excited to get this gift. See, my daughter's name is very special to us. She was my rainbow baby, a baby born after a pregnancy loss. In our case, we lost 3 babies, and she was God's gift to us. Before I even knew she was a girl, I was watching a home design show where they painted the name, ELIANA above the crib. I thought to myself, "That's a pretty name." But, at the time, I really thought I was having a boy if this baby made it at all to full term. It was that moment, however, that I heard God speak to my spirit and say, "That's the name of your little girl." I was shocked and scared, because I didn't want to put a name on a baby if I was going to lose another pregnancy. As the pregnancy continued, I was 9 months in and decided to see if there was any meaning behind the name, "Eliana". When I Googled the meaning, I was amazed! Her name means:

I am the Lord who answers!

Yes, he answered me with a beautiful, healthy baby girl whom we named Eliana Grace.

An added perk was that CrossTimber offered a background that has elephants on it. My daughter absolutely LOVES elephants. So, I was so excited to choose the elephants background with her name meaning and scripture.

What Did We Think?

What personal service this company offers. I ordered my plaque and immediately received an email asking about specifics that I had confusingly ordered. The email contained the meaning to my name, which was so cool to see! I think that gifts that reflect the true meaning and biblical meaning with scripture behind your name is a great idea, so thoughtful, and meaningful keepsake!
