Ticked Off — Prizes …
Is there anyone out there who didn’t get their prize in the mail?
Except you … XX! I know you didn’t get your prize. How? Oh, I got your email accusing me of being dishonest. *Sheesh!*
If anyone else out there thinks they this is a hoax … that I’ve put up a blog to give away FREE stuff and randomly pick poor unsuspecting commenters to trick on a daily basis. This is your opportunity to let me know …

Winning comment from the last post is: #16 Amanda–> email me with your address you’ve won a pair of Babylegs!

You have GOT. TO. BE. KIDDING! Some people think you are a hoax? Well, I am proof you are not. I received both (yes I have won twice!) goodies and we LOVED em. My daughter still wears her shirt. It’s a favorite!

it’s been awhile since I checked your site, I have been so busy. I can’t believe people think you are a hoax, I think you have been so generous! I also received both of my prizes, and they both came very fast too !!!

So sorry! I’ve only ever bought stuff from your store, but sheesh whining over free stuff??
Amanda · December 11, 2007 at 5:12 am
Your blog and your pics are prizes in themselves! (Although don’t get me wrong, we all love free stuff (: ) I agree with Yan – you have been extremely generous!

How ridiculous! I’m shaking my head in befuddlement. People!
Happy Geek · December 11, 2007 at 7:49 am
Are there days when you just don’t want to get out of bed because you know you have to deal with so many turkeys? I got both prizes faster than I was expecting!
The stuff I actually buy comes fast and perfect too!
Hang in there!!!!

That’s crazy! I love my prize…so useful and great quality! People are crazy.

Yeah…I’m hoping to go for round two. My little girl loves her Rumblies fire truck.
Kait · December 11, 2007 at 8:31 am
No hoax. I’ve won twice :)
TheAngelForever · December 11, 2007 at 8:42 am
Some people just have no clue that good people exist. Sounds like that person may be jealous that you have loyal readers who care and will back you up.
Colleen · December 11, 2007 at 8:52 am
How ridiculous.
bree · December 11, 2007 at 10:45 am

Beth · December 11, 2007 at 10:51 am
That’s horrible-I can’t believe some people….
Keara · December 11, 2007 at 11:18 am
That is horrible! I wanna win!
Teresa · December 11, 2007 at 11:46 am
I too have been the lucky recipient and was SOOO excited to win a very cute pair of pants for my daughter! I really appreciate your site and your generosity with your prizes! I hope that one “bad” apple does not spoil your view towards the masses! :) Oh, and I must note that my prize pants came in the mail rather quickly and at NO expense to me! Thanks again!!!
Deanne S. · December 11, 2007 at 12:23 pm
That’s too bad about the attitude.
Someone chose to blame you over Canada Post???
Heather · December 11, 2007 at 1:20 pm
I won (and received) the cutest pair of baby legs a few months ago; so, no, I certainly don’t think it’s a hoax!
Naomi · December 11, 2007 at 2:03 pm
I’ve won gorgeous stuff for both my kids! And ordered great stuff from your store, too. It’s win-win all around, in my book.
Silly billy.
mama k · December 11, 2007 at 2:29 pm
EWWW!
So sorry that happened to you. Even when you are doing something nice ppl can still be jerks.
I won twice since you started your giveaways! My DS was wearing the BabyLegs just yesterday in fact. I hope that one sour grape doesn’t ruin this for ya. :)
Jaime Stephens · December 11, 2007 at 2:31 pm
LOL…. too funny. How could anyone think that you’re a hoax? I’ve received all 3 of my prizes (yes I’ve won three time! Twice through your blog and once as baby of the week on your site)… and I’ve received everyone of my multiple orders from your site. Everything is absolutely beautiful and I love it all!
leslie · December 11, 2007 at 3:00 pm
….who moans about FREE stuff….??!?
jw4mkc · December 11, 2007 at 3:10 pm

Angella · December 11, 2007 at 4:33 pm
I can attest that your site is no hoax!
Sorry you’ve been given grief! You have been nothing but generous :)
Carey · December 11, 2007 at 7:18 pm
I Love your site and your stuff. I received your prize with out any problems(i won over the summer), and it was great. Thanks for all the hard work and great stuff you offer us.
Andrea · December 11, 2007 at 8:36 pm
Well, I sure know that I have always receieved the prizes from you FAST and wiht no problems…so I dunno what those people who “aren’t getting their prizes” are complaing about. And yes…I can also attest that your site is NO HOAX!!!
Susy-Q · December 11, 2007 at 9:04 pm
No hoax. I will add my support–although you have received quite a bit already! I was so excited that I won. I kept telling my hubby about your blog and he was actually asking me occasionally, “So, did you win anything yet?”. You bet darlin’, and I am one happy Momma. Winning things is FUN!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Michelle · December 12, 2007 at 12:51 am
Oh, geez, some people. So sorry, but whatever. I can’t even think of anything to say about that, because really, what *is* there to say? I’ve won more than once, and I think you’re absolutely fabulous. So there.
Joa · December 12, 2007 at 4:45 am
J’ai toujours bien reçu mes paquets, autant les articles commandés et que les prix gagnés. C’est dommage pour cette dame, mais il faudrait sans doute blâmer la poste comme le dit Deanne S.
Lisa · December 12, 2007 at 9:27 am
I am so sorry. People can be mean. I have won twice and LOVE my prizes. My kids were dressed for success this summer at the beach with your great prizes.
Michelle · December 12, 2007 at 2:27 pm
Definitely not a hoax – we got our free prize quickly. Some people can be so rude. How about asking before accusing???
lace · December 14, 2007 at 10:49 am
I just received my prize a couple of days ago. Thank you. You are so generous.
There are a lot of winners on this site.
Denette · December 17, 2007 at 11:00 pm
Not a hoax at all and even got here fast from Canada! I’m ready to win again…you know just for conformation that your not a hoax. It’s a scientific study, nothing I can do about it!
XX · December 20, 2007 at 6:25 pm
Wow.
Okay, now for what ACTUALLY happened:
I won a prize in October. Sent my address and didn’t hear back anything, so I wrote two totally polite follow-up e-mails in October and November to make sure that she had received my address.
Here’s one:
I don’t mean to be a pain, really, but I’m worried I might be getting caught in a spam trap or something. Could you just let me know if you got my previous e-mails? I’ve been accosting my mailman while waiting for my excellent prize to arrive. ;)
—
No response at all. I thought I might be getting caught in a spam trap, so I posted here to ask if my e-mails were getting through. She wrote back, “Your prize shipped.” In December, still nothing had arrived. I e-mailed to tell her that, and got no response again.
So, essentially, it was after being repeatedly ignored that I wrote to say I was disappointed, and that she seemed honest on her blog.
I’m glad the rest of you have had good experiences. To me, it’s extremely strange to ignore a person to that extent and to be this rude to try to embarrass me when my only “crime” was that I never received what I was supposed to receive, and eventually said something about it!
Kim, are you really getting your jollies watching people calling me a jerk and an idiot over this?
MommyKnows · December 20, 2007 at 6:59 pm
XX … now that you have received your prize … you might want to try “thank you!”
jw4mkc · December 21, 2007 at 9:19 am
Wow XX – It is the internet! I mean, embarassed?? I know I don’t know you personally, so what do you care what I or anyone else thinks. To call someone dishonest who runs a ‘living’ on the internet is very bold when there are apparently so many others who can validate that she is anything but dishonest. I did not get my prizes the next day by any means. Like others have said, it was free! Can you really complain if it takes a while? I won a cookie making contest 3 weeks ago and am supposed to be getting a prize package from them. I had hoped it would come before Christmas, but I would NOT dare contact them and complain!! Also, spam?? Please, honey.. With all the comments, etc and pictures of her kids, etc – if she was a spammer, that is just sick! So, XX, who cares if people call you a jerk or idiot?? I am sure you were right there with us all when the guy sent Mommyknows the white powdery substance that was nothing and we were all up in arms. OH..and I doubt that Mommyknows is getting her ‘jollies’ by having her business name ran through the mud over doing a good thing like giving ungrateful, impatient people free EXPENSIVE gifts!! Oh..but then again..I musn’t say those things, someone who noone knows might get embarassed..heck this time maybe me? – Nah..I don’t care.
Naomi · December 22, 2007 at 4:52 pm
Sorry you’re having a problem, sorry that people take things personally and act like it’s high school, sorry, sorry, sorry…
I replied back to a vitriolic anti-Obama (he’s a terrorist/muslim/black) chain email that my husband’s grandmother forwarded, suggesting that perhaps people should read and research information before blindly passing it along. His aunts shot back at me, berating me for being mean to an old lady! I don’t think that being 80 gives you license to not think. Grrr. People should think before they press the “send” button.
