if you haven't entered yet...be sure to enter day one's giveaway!! and to those of you who have entered...THANKS SO MUCH!! it's so fun to see so many of you enter...and HI!! to my new followers who entered...or came 'out' of the blogger closet to enter. lol. so here goes day two's giveaway!!
awhile ago another blog i read was having a whole ton of giveaways. i offered up some wildtree for her to review and giveaway. well the winner of that giveaway...ended up being cindi from yaya blankets. i checked out her site and loved all of the cute blankets i saw. she has blankets in adult sizes, and of course kids sizes too! there are also two different designs to cindi's blankets. either the yaya blanket or the caden style. ((and not only blankets...cindi also has burp rags!)) cindi offers a wide range of sizes to her blankets. and offered me a lovey sized blanket to review. i went with the caden style in the purple bubbles pattern...
the lovey size is absolutely PERFECT for carrying around everywhere. in fact. after i got the lovey...i decided to email cindi immediately and order a blanket and another lovey for baby girl E. the other kiddos each have a tiny little blanket/animal they carry around, instead of huge blankets. so i decided that little miss E will have these for her lovey. and of course her blanket for bedtime too...
let me tell you the blankets are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo super soft. like i should totally just order myself an adult sized blanket. when the lovey came in the mail i opened it and i'll admit, i rubbed it on my cheek. it's probably because all the blankets are made with 100% extremely plush minky chenille. cindi also offers free personalization right now.
i just love that idea!! so i made sure to personalize all miss E's stuff with an E. and since i got these before we were pretty set on a name...it worked well!
you absolutely want one don't you!? i know you do!! so here's the deal...cindi has offered one of you one of her loveys...or the 24.95 the lovey is worth as credit to her store!! how great is that!?! now...here's how you enter::

I had a lovey-a ratty blanket my grandma made for me when I was born-I lost it at camp when I was 16 years old! My kids all have lovey blankets now too :)

I became a follower of your blog yesterday :) I do have a question though-is is one prize per winner or are people allowed to win multiple items? Just wondering if I have a chance to win more than one goody :)
So hypothetically could I win yesterday's towel and still be eligible to win today's blanket?

I had a stuffed dog that you could wind up and it would play `Braham's Lullaby`. I wonder how many children are familiar with Braham's lullaby, these days. Anyway, I no longer have it. But our cuddly, 20lb cat sleeps with us these days.

Love this blanket. I had a blanket that my aunt made me when I was a baby and I still have it to this day :) shhhhh!!!! Haha
I'm a follower of your blog too!
And I love the layla version too-so cute!
I am a follower.
I am now following Cindi's blog.
My lovey was my thumb ;)
I LOVE both styles, but I think my favorite is the yaya.
I grabbed the button. :)
Its so nice to get to know you! I found you through Holly's Blog. Now your on my list of daily reads! LOL! Anywho, I did have a lovey. It was this ugly purple bear that had been through everything and went everywhere. I was devastated when mom threw it away because she couldnt get the smell out of it.
I just checked out the yaya blankets and I say the caden style is awesome! However I did find one of the yaya styles that I love and may get its the Pink Dottie! My baby would love it!
Opps I am a new follower as well :) treecesherry@yahoo.com
I had a yellow blankie with silky edges that have since fallen off. I still have it, but use it for my babies now. I also had a teddy bear that I still have with all of V's stuffed animals. It used to have a music box inside that you could wind up and play.
My lovey was a blanket with the silky edge on it. I loved to rub the silky. And of course my thumb was my lovey :) I sucked it for SO long!!
My favorite print is the dots. Either blue or pink. We are expecting #4 and don't know what it is yet so either color of print is fun!
I like the Caden style of blanket, but they are both SO cute and look so SOFT!
i didn't carry around a lovey that i can remember, but i did have seven baby dolls that were real to me and had a crib, but they always had to sleep in my bed-guess i was for co-sleeping back then! ha! anyway, if i was sick and slept with my mom and dad all the babies came with, which meant my dad had to sleep on the sofa b/c there was no room for him!
i do follow you as you know! =)
as you well know, or at least you should have a little idea by now that i love purple...so, i too, would go with the purple bubbles...it's adorable! and our girls would quickly learn the letters "E" and "M"! =)
i think that i like the caden style just because then i see more of the purple bubbles pattern!
ps-as you can see...it's working this morning! yay. not sure what was up last night!
ps...my last two word verifications have been 'examme' maybe like examine and then 'rearlica' is that like rear licker????? examine rear licker??? what do you have on hear?!?!?! lol
I had a lovey, its name was gi-gi. I still have it somewhere but its been boxed up for several years. When my youngest was born I bought him an almost identical blanket...he never fell in love tho :(
That's such a cute blanket! I didn't have a lovey that I remember. I always loved my dolls more than any blanket or stuffed animal.
another lovely giveaway.
I had a yellow blanket, that the blacker it got, the more I loved it. bleh...
I gave it up in 3rd grade.
I follow your blog!
I still follow you, even though I'm reconsidering, because of all this work you're putting us through. ;o)
I like the pink camo print.

i love the pink coco or pink dottie! they match aryssa's room perfectly!
i love both the caden and yaya sizes, like i said yesterady WHEN i win i will try and decide :)
I had a teddy bear that I slept with every night. My grandpa won him in a bowling tournament and when we came home from visiting, he had stowed away in my suitcase. My mom made me call and tell my grandpa what I'd done, and he said I could keep him. From then on, he's always lived with me, even now he has a place of honor in the top of my closet. :)

58 comments already!! WOWSERS!! Lets see, I was a thumb sucker, and I had a blanket that had the silk lining... I would rub the lining and suck my thumb. HA I also had my first bear ever that sings. Elizabeth now has it. I never named it though. He was always just "Bear". real original huh?
Got it when I was 5 yrs. old, and still sleep with it. It's a rabbit I named 'Bunchy.' LOL! Seriously though, I really do still sleep with it. No one make fun....=)
I follow your blog! =)

I like both styles, but the Caden style has won out over the Yaya!!
I have your Gala button on my blog!
I didn't have a lovey when growing up. Actually I don't think I really had anything that I was really attached to. When I think about it...that's kinda sad!
I follow you!
Now following Cindi's blog!
I really like the brown and blue polka dot 'Caden' style. Very cute!
I actually like both the yaya and caden! I can't choose!
I did not have a lovey growing up. Not really attached to anything as a child.
Gala button posted!
Neutral dots print is very cool.
caden style is my favorite.
I slept with a Fievel doll (you know, from An American Tale) that took up residence as my lovey.
Currently, our 3 oldest each have a lovey. Elizabeth's is a blanket, Lucas' is a kitty kitty and Ashlee's is a bear bear. Ashlee sucks on her bear's ear. It's NARS-TAY.
I will follow youuuuuuuu, follow you wherever youuuuu may goooooo (like the song from that Whoopie Goldberg movie with the Nuns...what was that one?)
Sorry. I know I'm stupid.
Yes, I follow you. You can void this entry if I just dorked myself right out of it.
I had a teddy bear I called Reddy Teddy. I slept with him every night until the night I got married *blush*.

I didn't sleep with anything as a child. :-( Boring, I know!
i first had a soft blue flower blanket but it was for each baby as they came along, so I soon had to give it up... then i got a pink flower flannel one that I used all the time... Still have it but it's very very worn, so I'm not sleeping with it until I can repair it. :(

I never had a lovey when I was little. My brother did though and still has it to this day. So far, neither of my kids have attached to anything either.
I follow your blog girl!
I didn't really have a "lovey," but I did have a cabbage patch doll that pretty much went everywhere with me. I still have it, but he sleeps in a different room- on a shelf. :)
I love the purple bubbles yaya blankets!

Oh wow! Beautiful! I had a bear named Bear Bear. Wish I knew where he went to. :(
I'm a follower!
I had two loveys: two plain white blankets that at one time had satin trim around the edges (or so I am told) that are currently tucked away in my closet for safe keeping. They are kind of yellow with age and full of thread where my mom tried to patch up many, many holes! I loved my blankies....
yeloechikee at hotmail dot com
I like the neutral dot yaya.
Hmm...I like both styles but I think I would pick the original yaya because it is so unique.
i dont rememebr being attached to a blanket per se but i always had a neck roll pillow that got flattened & i took with me everywhere!!! would have been way cooler to have a blanket or stuffed animal :)
im already following your blog!
i absolutely LOVE the pink dottie fabric! i would love to feel how soft they are!!!
my fave is the CADEN style!!! precious
I had a special teddy bear I slept with until I got married, lol. DH banned it to a corner of the bedroom now, he didn't want to share me.
Purple bubbles is probably my fav print
ya ya style is my fav!

grabbed the button
Sadly I did not grow up with a lovey! But both of my boys have one and even though my husband thinks they are too old for it...I disagree and will always cherish it!
And I am a new follower!
I like 2...the purple dots and the other dots! Although the animal print was cute too!
I don't remember having a lovey when I was really young, but one year for Easter I got a really soft teddy bear and slept with him up until the day hubs & I bought our house together... now he sleeps with E :) (and me, when she's sleeping with me!) ;)
I'm already following you!! :)
I'm following Cindi's blog!
I think I like the Pink Cocco best... there are so many cute styles it's hard to choose just one! :)
I didn't have a "lovie" but my youngest daughter has a special blankie...she would sit in front of the washer/dryer and cry the ENTIRE time until it was done when she was younger :)
I follow you already :)
and I LOVE the yaya style blankie
I did have a lovey growing up, a waffle style yellow blanket, and I still have it. I don't sleep with it, but if I happen to brush it when reaching for a scarf, I feel this sudden rush of warm fuzzies. :) It is like an instant burst of happiness!
Love your story! My husband gave me a bunny I slept with and took everywhere before we got married too. His name is Shakespeare. :)
I am following your blog. :) I look forward to hearing more of your adventures!
I love both blanket styles! But the yaya is just too unique to resist!
*Mandatory entry* I had a lovey growing up that I wore to DEATH. I lost it on a drill team trip when I was 17 (yes, I brought my lovey to drill team nationals) and at that point it was basically a large ball of string. Oh, I miss it!
*Extra entry* My favorite Yaya print is the leopard!

i don't normally win stuff, so this would be awesome
Amanda, I love that you are doing these giveaways.. its a great way to draw attention to your blog as well as get exposure to other people's products.
I did not have a lovey growing up, but my kids have theirs that I wonder how in the world I am going to get them to give it up. The funny thing is no matter which one you want to be their favorite, they always find their own favorite!
I had a blanket (actually by the time all was said and done, the same design blanket was traded out at least 10 times) that I kept up through high school and my mom now has at home in my "baby box".
I now follow your blog (yea!)!
My favorite style of the yaya blankets is the yaya- it is so unique and I love the minky fabric!
My favorite print of the yaya blanket is the neutral dot- those are the colors we will be doing in our nursery!
I had a blanket my mom made for me before I was born. I saved it & gave it to my 1st daughter who could've cared less about it. So she gave it to my 2nd daughter who adores it & it really helped her feel comfort during her nighttime sleep issues. I should really recover it as it's pretty tattered, but she loves it as is. :o)
