I’d like to win this blanket for my daughter to remind her how lucky she is to have parents who love her deeply. Thanks for this lovely giveaway!

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.

  38. Susan Prause Says:

    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 :)

  39. Shelley Says:

    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. :)

  40. tracy Says:

    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!! :) )

  41. julie Says:

    We would love to have this blanket for our little boy who will hopefully be coming home this summer.

  42. Tracy Wages Says:

    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!!!!

  43. Laura Farris Says:

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

  44. Amber Says:

    sweet silas loves to cuddle blankets sooo much! this would be perfect :)

  45. Tom Laughner Says:

    Ethiopia has a special place in our hearts, and we love anything having to do with this country.

  46. Lindsey Says:

    I would love to wrap my Ethiopian princess up in this beautiful blanket. This is so kind of you to give this wonderful gift away!! I love reading your blog!!

  47. Laura Sykora Says:

    My husband and I are in the process of adopting our FIRST BABY from Ethiopia and continue to be so excited by all of the people out here in bloggie land that have also experienced the joy of adoption. We feel so energized from those that have followed God's call. I would LOVE to have this blanket for our first little baby!!!

  48. Ashley Smith Says:

  68. tamara b Says:

    I’ve been eyeing Jamey’s blankets for a while. And because we’re saving every extra penny for our own Ethiopian adoption right now, I’ve not been able to order one for our little guy. He turns 2 on Feb 5th and a new blanket would be a great gift idea for him.

    xoxo

  81. Rebekah Says:

    What a great idea! This blanket would be the perfect cuddle blanket for the vulnerable children I will be working with when I go back to Zambia. The kids have always enjoyed snuggling up on the “reading rug” and reading through our children’s picture Bible.

  82. Paige Alleca Says:

    So can we comment more than once??? I loooove this blanket!!

  83. Teresa Says:

    Oh my, I'd love to win this blanket for my daughter that should be coming home from China next month! Her sister got so many blankets when she first came home, but somehow third children seem to get overlooked in that department. Of course I'd probably end up having to buy my other two a China blanket too, but that's okay!

  85. Hannah Says:

    I would love to win the blanket because it is my dream to one day adopt a baby from Ethiopia :)

    Thank you.

  86. Allison Says:

    Ohhhh, I hope Im not too late!!!
