Contest #1 - win a free Lovey!

**Update** Pictures posted below!

It's time for our first contest! I've been working on tweaking the design of my ribbon security blankets and think I finally have it perfected! All it needs now is a new name, and that's where you come in! I named my old ribbon blankie's "Loopy Loveys" because all of the ribbon sewn around the edges were looped back into the edge of the blanket. But now, most of the ribbons are not looped and there is a much greater variety - from corkscrews, to singles, to doubles, even triples and some other fun stuff, too! My littlest one, Ellery, really loves it and plays with it a lot more than she did the original design.

The blankies are 12" square, one side is a super-soft minky and the other side is a cotton or flannel print, usually from a popular designer like Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, Alexander Henry, etc. There are ribbons sewn all around the four edges of the blanket for the baby to play with. Somewhat similiar to a popular ribbon-loop blanket (who shall remain unamed due to trademarks on the name)...only better. :P Here are a couple of pictures to wet your appetite. :)


Look at all that ribbon! I don't know any baby that will be able to resist it!



But what to call it? It could be anything along the lines of how it looks, what it's made of, what it's used for, how a child plays with it, etc. The sky is the limit!

So here's the deal, post a comment to this post with a possible name (or two or three!), and if I pick your suggestion, I'll send you a free lovey for your little one! You'll get to choose each fabric side - one side is a minky, the other is a fabulous print - and I'll coordinate the ribbons. And if I don't end up using one of the names suggested from this contest, I'll still randomly pick a comment to award a free lovey. I'll keep the contest open for a few weeks, and as the deadline approaches, which I'm not even sure yet when that is, I'll post a reminder and let ya'll know the ending date. So put on your thinking caps and let the games begin!

Note: be sure to include your email or some other form of contact so I can reach you if you win!
