You can contact me here by leaving a comment and a way to reach you (like e-mail, which I won't post) or by contacting me by going to zblankets.etsy.com
and clicking "contact zblankets" on the right side.
When you contact me or leave a comment tell me which blanket is your favorite and pick a number between 1 and 100.

Who ever gets closest to the number I have already picked will be notified on May 1st and I will mail the winner their favorite blanket (gift sets not included in this contest) if it is available or ask him or her to pick one out of the current stock.
