(Mostly) Made with Love Giveaway!

We've decided to do another giveaway here on the blog! I love doing these giveaways, because they allow our friends and family to give and, hopefully, to receive something back! You already have our gratitude, but I love to be able to give something tangible back as a way to say, "Thank you!"

For this giveaway, I went to our friends and to some generous strangers to ask for help. Every prize has been donated and a lot of them have been hand-crafted with love. Lots of Etsy sellers were happy to get involved and offer something for our giveaway, once they learned about our boys. Our boys are hard to refuse :)

So, here's what we have to offer. We will draw one winner for each prize, so there is an even greater opportunity that if you give, you are going to receive a great prize. We know that's not why you give, but it does make the giving even more fun!

Prize #1

A $35 gift certificate to Kelly's Creative Designs!

Kelly was super generous to offer such a great prize! She's also giving our family 10% of any sales we send her way and free shipping to our friends. Simply use code: ADOPTION11 at checkout!

Here's a sample of her work:

Prize #2

A personalized birth/adoption announcement block from Elephant Tales!

These are super cute and can be created to match your color scheme. Here's my favorite:

Prize #3

In keeping with hand-crafted nursery decor V T Designs is offering any item of the winner's choice from her Etsy shop!

I love this one, but they're all super cute!

Prize #4

Hidden in My Heart is donating one of her amazing pieces of scripture art!

You should have a look around her store. The winner will receive an 8x10 print of their choosing!

I love the style of these prints!

Prize #5

Allison at Love Blooms Eternal makes these great pendants!

The winner can pick whichever pendant they would like! I'm going to have one made that says, "Mother" in the boys' native language! 

Here's a custom piece with a photo.

Prize #6

A candle of the winner's choice from Celebrating Home!

These smell great and look pretty, too! Anything you order from the link above, we'll receive 50% of the proceeds from!

Prize #7

2:12 Designs is run by a local Mom, who is super creative! She's donating a custom made invite/announcement to the winner, as well as 50% of any orders placed when you let her know you found 2:12 Designs here on our blog, until the giveaway ends.

Here's the adoption announcement she created recently!

(I can't wait to have her create our adoption announcements!)
