Friends, here is a special note from Jamey-

Dear Crazy Adoption Readers,

I want to say a deep thank you for all the kind comments regarding my blankets. I’ve been humbled and blessed by so many of your comments and the wonderful things that you had to say. Each of your stories touched me and I’ve found my way to lots of your blogs because there are few things I like better than a good adoption blog! Congratulations to the winner. I hope you love your MamaEnat Adoption Blanket. I’m sorry the rest of you didn’t win, but unfortunately I can only give away so many blankets as I’m trying to bring home our own Little Miss. For the next week, until January 14st, I’m offering a special deal just for you! Enter the word “Zehlahlum” (this is the name of my blog and the Amharic word “forever”) in the comments to seller box on Etsy and I’ll refund your shipping costs for one blanket! This is good for ONE week and only when you enter the word ZEHLAHLUM.

Again, thank you so much!

Jamey

MamaEnat

————————————————————————————————————————————————-

I’m so excited to GIVEAWAY a one of a kind Adoption Flag Blanket!! You win a $50 gift certificate for 1 large “31 x 34″ blanket- you pick the country. My Crazy Friend, Jamey is adopting from Ethiopia, raising funds through her Etsy Link- www.mamaenat.etsy.com. You can meet Jamey via her blog www.zehlahlum.blogspot.com. She recognizes not everyone adopts from Ethiopia, so she can do a lot of other countries as well. She has several other countries featured on her site, so please stop by and take a peek.

The blankets are all custom made, so that customers can pick the color that they want for the back. The 2 extra photos are the small blankets. It will take Jamey a little time after it is won to be able to ship it out. All you need to do to win this beautiful giveaway is leave a comment. I’d love to hear why you want to win this one-of-a kind blanket, too. This is a 3 day Giveaway- I will randomly pick a name from the comments and announce the winner on this post January 7th after Zoie goes to bed.

Winner- Please email me so I can give you information to shop online using your virtual gift certificate. If for some reason, I don’t hear back from you within 48 hrs- I will pick another winner. Thank you for your understanding.

(Large Flag Blanket- made in any country U pick)

We have 3 sons and just changed from a long attempt at domestic adoption to adopting from Ethiopia to finally bring our daughter home to us. We are through with *most* of our paperwork and very close to the waiting for a match. I would love to have this blankey to help me remember her every day while we wait!

It was two weeks ago today that I met my sweet Leah Tigist in Ethiopia. Bringing her home to sub-zero temperatures in Minnesota has required LOTS of warm, fuzzy blankets…and I can only imagine how fantastic she would look in one of these! Bless you, bless Zoie, and blessings to your family

We were one of the families that got caught in the Imagine Adoption Bankruptcy in July. We had to race to Africa as our son was not being fed once the bankruptcy occured, but since we were travelling almost 2 months early we were unable to stay for very long and almost immediately had to turn around and come home. We got our son home safe, which was the most important thing, but we never had a chance to do any shoppping for anything for the nursery. I had a list of items I wanted to buy, but we did not have time to purchase a single one. I would love the blanket to have something Ethiopian themed in his nursery. Thanks for listening to my rambles.

I need this blanket to snuggle my 4 new big kids up in so they'll feel like they're getting a big hug from their homeland!! Love it!! )

We would love to have this blanket for our little boy who will hopefully be coming home this summer.
http://wagest.blogspot.com Tracy Wages

My baby girl would look so pretty with these colors wrapped around her. I'm sure of it. Even though I haven't seen her yet. And even though I don't know if she'll even look good in red, since her mommy really can't wear red without looking like a ghost. Which I guess wont be a problem with baby girl, but she'd still look super cute!!!!
Laura Farris

I was going to make some of these, but if I win one maybe I'll spend my time doing something else:)
