Businesses of the Month
Hello, I am Kristin!
I have been with Thirty-One Gifts since January 2011. I've always been a bag lady before I even heard of the company Thirty-One Gifts. I had just moved to Tennessee to start my teaching career and I went to my first party. I loved the bags and thought it would be a great way to meet new people. I didn't know along the way I would meet a group of women and a company who would celebrate, encourage, and reward me.
Besides Thirty-One Gifts you will also see me at shows with my handmade cards - Cards By Kristin. It started as a monthly get together, one of the teachers I work with invit s me to her monthly card class. She would teach us different skills for making cards. I in the last 4ish years is when I started selling them at shows. I love to send a card to brighten someone's day and put a smile on someone's face.

Hello, I am Thomas!
My name is Thomas Drummer the owner of Drummer Boy INC. The reason I started Drummer Boy was because I love cooking but I really have a passion for barbecue food. Grilling or smoked. It all started with me taking a trip to Tennessee and came back with this wanting to make barbecue sauce. I've always wanted to do something with food. Didn't know I was going to start a hobby that turned into a small business. Started with one flavor and five years later I have 8. I also serve smoked meat. Ribs, pulled pork just to name a few. I also have your cookout side dishes, Mac n cheese, baked beans ect. The name is a family name. I used the name in honor of my 7 uncles, Sonny, Tyrone, Jerome, Gale, Al, Benard and Tony. I thank my mother Red for giving me my foundation for cooking. My aunties for their spirit and my family for their support. I'm just scratching the surface. I have so much more to give. I also want to thank Hometown Vendors for their support and love. I appreciate the whole team.
