I (winner of one of the hidden buttons) have the same first part of the email as the winner, Kristie, for the 10 questions?
Tara Kuczykowski
I’m sorry, that was a copy & paste error. You won the $50 Sephora gift card, and Kristie won the trivia quiz. I’ve updated the post with her email address!
Gerogianna
why do Kristie and Monica have the same username? Also can you post the times that these were found and where? There is a lack of transparency about this contest that I find disturbing.
Amy
Would also like to know what time the winner of the 10 questions was submitted. I had an EARLY entry, but before the name and e-mail section was fixed, and before one of the questions was changed.
Tara Kuczykowski
Hi Amy!
As you know, the survey originally didn’t include a name and email address field. I fixed that as soon as I realized the issue and emailed everyone who had left a comment to let them know that they should resubmit.
At that time, I also clarified the question about the margarita so that there wouldn’t be confusion over what I was looking for, since I’ve mentioned several different beverages on the blog that I love.
The winning answers were submitted at 11:36 am. I see that you resubmitted your answers at 12:02 pm, but you have “torn ligaments in ankle” and “Pumpkin Spice Lattes”, both of which are incorrect anyway.
I’m sorry for any confusion!
Donna
Tara, why did I think that you had a Border Collie and a Shar-pei?
Monica S
Thanks, Tara :)
Kristie
Thanks Tara for this wonderful website! I have been using it about 8 or 9 months now and LOVE it! I am always telling my friends and family about it. When I got the e-mail that said I had won on the quiz I was super excited! My first win on any blog’s giveaways. The coupons were already saving me money, but winning the giftcard was the icing on the cake! Thanks again!
Erica
I also had an early entry before the form changed, and I’m pretty sure I resubmitted only minutes after it was fixed. I put down pumpkin spice latte because before it had only said drink of choice, and that was the only beverage that specifically stated “drink of choice” in a post. I wish I knew that the question had changed. Will there be other quizzes like this in the future?
Tara Kuczykowski
I’m sorry, Erica. I wasn’t trying to change the question — I was just trying to clarify it because I realized when I was adding the name and email fields that it was a little too vague. I thought the quiz was a lot of fun, and I hope everyone else did too, so I do hope to do more of them in the future!
Amber
Darn it – why did I think you had Daschunds?! *sulks*
Tiffany
Tara- thanks for the fun yesterday. My family caught something horrible and we are on week 2 no being sick, so all I did yesterday was play DSM Birthday game and sleep.
Good distraction
Tiffany
Kristine
Aww I missed this because it was MY birthday as well yesterday. Officially 30 now!
