Fundraising Raffle-- You Know You Want to Win!

Here we go! We have the following fabulous prizes up for grabs for you in our little raffle that we will lovingly call the, "Let's Get MF Home NOW!" Raffle. Without further ado... **We have two new additional prizes, now!** see numbers 1 and 2!

1) Blog Template: So, you like my blog template, do you? Well, my friend Hilary from Simply Yours Designs made it and she has graciously agreed to donate a blog template for one lucky winner as well! The winner may choose one of her amazing pre-made templates for your blog! (Also, check out her Facebook page HERE)




2) Four passes to the Quarry: This prize will be for someone local. The Quarry is an amazing rock climbing center. This prize is an $80 value. Four passes, harnesses, and shoe rental, all included!!




3) $25 gift card to Target: Who doesn't love Target? I LOVE Target. If there were one next door to me...well, that would be a large problem.


4) Baby Boy OR Baby Girl (you choose) rag quilt: The quilt measures about 3 1/2 feet by 3 1/2 feet. The winner's quilt will be hand made and mailed to you sometime shortly after Christmas. The quilts below are just examples, yours can be one of the same designs or a different one of your choosing.



5) Handmade Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls. I loved these two dolls as a child! One lucky winner will get their own set! These adorable dolls are 20 inches tall and will come with traditional red and blue clothing. They will be ready in time for Christmas!


6) Handmade, Personalized Memory Bear: This bear will be made from the shirt of one of your loved ones. What a great way to keep a piece of your loved one with you! This bear will be made within two weeks after the winner is announced. It can be made 8 inches, 12 inches, or 14 inches tall.


7) Handmade, boy boy OR baby girl cowboy boot booties: How stinkin' cute are these?? The lucky winner will receive these within two weeks from when the winners are announced. Size 0-3 months.


8) Custom Christmas card from EVERY MAKING MOMENT: This is my friend Haylee's shop and she does such a great job with her cards. They are all amazing! You pick the design that you want from her Etsy Shop, send her your pictures, and then she will send you a high resolution .jpg image that you can then take and print wherever you want (and however many copies you want) to get mailing to your family and friends! Perfect prize for this time of year! (Also, check out Every Making Moment's Facebook page and be sure to "like" it!)


9) Custom Tutu: The winner of this great prize will get to choose their own colors, size, etc. for their tutu! This is little girl heaven, right here! Hallie looooves this sort of thing. This prize is extra special because it was donated to us by another family who is going through the adoption process right now as well, the Anderson's. They are adopting two little girls from the orphanage where MF is. You can see their story on their blog, HERE.


10) $50 gift card to Cheesecake Factory: Mmmmmm....I LOVE this place. Cheesecake Factory is definitely one of my favorite restaurants. Their lettuce wraps are amazing, their macaroni and cheese the best I have ever tasted (yes, right off the kids menu), and their coconut cheesecake to DIE for. I could go on and on, but, well my mouth is watering. So, I'll stop.



11) Fresh-Water Pearl Necklace: Please forgive my photography skills (we all know that photography is not my strong suit!), for they do not do this necklace justice. It is beautiful! Freshly strung and gorgeous from Goldsmith Jewelers. ($100 value)


What you need to know (Otherwise known as: THE RULES:)

  • Donate $5 or more to our MF fund, using the paypal link on the top, right side of the blog to receive an entry into our raffle
Extra Entries Available:
  • You may receive one extra entry for EVERY place you share this raffle. For example, if you share a link to the raffle on facebook, on your blog, and on twitter, you get three extra entries!
  • You must COMMENT here for EVERY entry you receive. In your comment, leave your name and email address, and if you want, for fun, tell me which item you have your eye on. (So, for the above example, you would leave four comments- one for your donation, and three for your places shared. The reason for this is that it is going to make it easier for me when I draw winners- I am going to use a site like random.org and so having each comment numbered will help immensely!)
  •  The Raffle prizes will be drawn in order and every comment will be entered in for every prize! I will email the winners and if for some reason they don't want the prize (if they don't live near a Cheesecake Factory if they win that, for example), a second winner will be drawn.
  • The Raffle will go TWO weeks, ending at midnight on Monday, December 5th. Winners will be contacted the next day via email.

In advance, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your love and support of us. We are so appreciative of everyone's help in this amazing journey. We are getting so close to bringing our daughter home and we would not be where we are without your love and support. We are truly blessed. 

(P.S. You may also enter the raffle if you have already donated to our fund in the past--- you just need to comment!)

**ALSO- Items will be shipped to the winners, regardless of where you live!**
