[Sunni]

Marilyn, I love your picture with Lucky!

Thanks Heather! I love it too. That is from the practice that I went to.
I thought maybe Lucky would give me some luck for this upcoming holiday fun! :D

[bbangel]

Sounds like fundemonium! :sunshine:

Good plan! Was he small? at the game we went to in Providence, we could not figure out if he was small or just average sized. :rotfl::rotfl:

[jenvance]

Wow That looks wonderful!! I am so excited

[Blessing and Miracle]

Is today's game posted or have I missed it somewhere? I so hope that some of it involves shopping. I may as well blow some of my money since others are doing so and I ain't getting nothing in return. :mad:

I need better ideas for todays. My thinking cap isn't working.

I'm looking at my Christmas quilt I've been working on for ideas, but it's all dog related.

[Hedy]

Who won from yesterday?

[SunshineGirl]

Who won from yesterday?

We've still been tossing them all around, but I think I'm decided on one. I don't know who submitted it though. It's a big decision because all three of us liked different ones. LOL!

[Hedy]

Falalala-lalalalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..........................

Per the Facebook invite I just got, anyway.

[Hedy]

I vote that Tricia should sing the winning song on the video blog.

[mia214jia]

And Cindy as a backup ! :sunshine2:

[missangie]

And Cindy as a backup ! :sunshine2:

I love it! I'll see what I can do.

[Hedy]

Anyone get their prizes yet?

[missymouse]

I didn't even know I had won until someone posted that the winners are listed in the Contest Rule thread and I went to check it out. Since that one doesn't show up in new posts when it is updated I never see it and you can't subscribe to it since it is only one post.

[missangie]

I love to see those pictures! Keep 'em comin'!

And forgot to add that's it's pretty darn cheap on deepdiscount at the moment!!

[catnapfan]

WooHoo! I got my prize today. :cooldance:
Thanks SR for the nice assortment of note cards- they will definitely go to good use. :thanks:

[Magical JenK]

Ok, since I can't view SR here I'm LOVING seeing today's countdown to Christmas thread...can't wait to go home & see what all the deals are! One question...the steaks for $2.49...1) how much are they normally & 2) are they good?? I've never bought from Omaha Steaks before.

Thanks

[Hedy]

Do you think Vera knew what they were doing when they asked Sr to add them? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Is there anybody you hope will have a Cyber Monday deal? I'm hoping for something from My Jewelry Box, but am thinking I may need to bite the bullet and order.

[speechteachri]

I got Sunshine mail today!!!!!:cooldance:

I got a cool shirt from the Boston affiliate summit for winning the "Jingle Bells" contest..

Very Cool!

I LOVE sunshine mail!!!!!!:sunshine:

Yes free shipping or something like a $10 off X.XX for one or two of the mass merchandisers!

[missangie]

Lots of prizes went out in the mail today! If you have been a recent winner, watch your mailbox for a fun SR prize.

[Sunni]

Thank you Angie for the heads up! I am so excited.

[Belle]

Angie- I have a question about today's contest. All of my Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday credits are on hold. May we post those credits for the contest, or do they need to be credits that have already been paid?

[missangie]

You may post pending credits! They are proof enough that you've been shopping through SR!!

[Belle]

Thanks, Angie!

[Alice28]

Dang- none of my purchases are pending yet from the weekend. Oh well- I just wanna play the game! :D I did LOVE the jump from the surveys though- that made my day!:thanks:

[MdCaterer]

I am now concerned! I have made reservations at the Hilton and completed that trip this past weekend, I made a purchase from Overstock.com before Thanksgiving and I don't have anything pending I have madeCyber Monday purchases at Vista Print and FYE and I do not see anything pending for ANY of these. I was thinking that they don't show up for sometimes a couple of weeks now I am thinking I should be concerned.

[mmm611]

New question! Angie, I did the Vista Print calendar offer last Friday and received credit over the weekend. Can I pose that as a credit since technically that was an offer rather than shopping?

[Belle]

Dang- none of my purchases are pending yet from the weekend. Oh well- I just wanna play the game!

Hi, Robin! Half of mine aren't pending yet either. I know what you mean about just wanting to play the game. I did the paid sign-ups for the contest the other day, and of course none of them credited for me, so no contest entries for that day.

[Alice28]

When I think about it, I *think* only 3 of my 5 purchases will show up. Sephora, BN and ebay. Cause Amazon is no % back and I don't think my Gap purchase will show up- after I entered all my coupons and bucks back, the total came to $1.04. :rotfl: I think it's also only about $2 back total because they were all small purchases, so I'm not sweating that, just no entries for me in this one.

I did get the latest MID offer to credit today though- try that one for a quick and painless .50.

Half of mine aren't either, I made about dozen purchases and nothing yet from Target (2 orders) Best Buy, Sears, Dancing Deer BUT I'm not worried since these were just purchased within the past 3 days, so I'm sure they're coming but yes they would have been nice to add to the contest! :D

I have about 7 purchases I don't see pending yet, and yeah, it would have been cool to have them today!! But maybe merchants are slower with credits because it is holiday season & there's higher traffic?

#1475057 Shopping: Order 212478 Pugster 6.92 Credits 12/02/2008 Paid

I bought a starter charm bracelet and engraved charm for DD19. I hadn't never heard of these before. They are so neat. Thanks for adding this store.

This is the chatter thread... make sure you post this in the contest thread

Unfortunately this wouldn't be eligible for this shopping contest because technically the product wasn't purchased. I believe the only investment here was the S/H.

It sounds like we need to have another shopping credit contest before the countdown ends to give everyone more time to see shopping credits post!

That would be wonderful, cuz I just started.:D And I'm on a roll.:D

[Pooh's Pal]

I just posted a bunch together...all from Ebay, should I have separated them all?

Thanks Angie, that's what I thought. I figured it coudln't hurt to ask.

[missangie]

Don't forget that today's contest requires you to find your post on Ticketmaster. Don't just tell me what you'd like to go to. I need to know a date and location. Some of you need to go back and detail your posts!

[hjohnson6]

I just wanted to mention that I got my prizes back in November. I got some cool Sunshine Rewards post-it notes and a really cool fold up bag from Fodors. (I think I spelled that right.) My MIL is jealous over the bag. :rotfl:

[Soccer Princess]

I got my prize today -- 5 assorted notecards and envelopes from Checks Unlimited (Pebbles, Superman, Pooh, Belle, and Peter Pan)! Thanks so much! I love them! I had been on the fence about ordering some after I saw Tricia's video, but I'm definitely going to order a set now! :) Thanks again!

It's time and I am ready!!!!!!!! :banana:

[sunshinecindy]

Wheres everyone at, not many guesses.

[JillyFish]

Is there a winner from yesterday.....Day 14???

[gpp2001]

Seriously - as of 7pm eastern (it's 4pm here on the west coast) and only 19 people have got both a feebie and a survey to credit!!! Wow!! That's very surprising to me! Not slamming on anyone - I know it's hard to get freebies to credit sometimes but Wow!

[mmm611]

I think my freebie came through at 6, but I was stuck in a survey then!

[Belle]

Will there be a contest later today?

[Soccer Princess]

Is there a contest today or am I going blind? lol Thanks! :)

[SunshineGirl]

We actually figured out that we were one day ahead, so we had to take a day off at some point. So we took it today. :)

[mia214jia]

I was wondering when you were going to figure that out :rotfl: ~ I remember last week thinkingg " wait a min.... looked at the calender and thought surely they will catch on.... "

[Soccer Princess]

Ah.... that makes sense now! Thanks! I guess I'm dense because I never noticed it lol! :)

[askomsky]

We actually figured out that we were one day ahead, so we had to take a day off at some point. So we took it today. :)

I was confused bc the kids were asking me and we counted it out and then I was thinking of the contests and thought wait a minute.... Makes sense now! :)

[wilsonfamily4]

today I knew it was 11 days so I went to the 11 days thread and posted my thing. Then I noticed it was closed so I quickly changed it to congrats. :) I was confused. :)

Thanks for clarifying

[OhMari]

I have a count down hall hanger in my house, and I seriously thought I was loosing it.
Yesterday my dh told me I was wrong. I was counting on my fingers and I always came out a day ahead. But I figured you weren't counting christmas day.

[sselig2000]

So, I was just curious, for today's contest, do we get an entry for each purchase? Or is is limited to one entry per person?

[~Kathie]

I was just coming to ask the same thing. Tricia's post states PURCHASE, not pural.

Tricia or Cindy or Angie...........if you can verify... I'll go in and delete my 2nd post if neccessary. I did a lot of shopping today! :)

Thanks! :thanks:

[Soccer Princess]

Was it answered anywhere if it is one per person or one per purchase for the contest today? :) Thanks!

[MamaO]

I'm really excited that I won Day 12! So for those of you who have done this before, what do I choose when I open the Trouble Ticket - Request Credit or Account Question? Or doesn't it matter?
Thanks!

I think I selected Account Question. I had not problems getting my prize by doing that. Congrats on your win!:banana::banana:

[MamaO]

Thanks, Pat!

[sselig2000]

I'm done wrapping We get it all done before Thanksgiving.

zoodoyle posted this in the contest thread, and I just have to say, NO WAY! SERIOUSLY????? :clap:
I think that is totally impossible and wish I was you, I am not done shopping, much less wrapping

I know, kinda crazy, eh?! :D But it works well - my parents live 2 hours away, so we wrap the presents, put them in rubbermaid containers, and load up the back of the van for Thanksgiving. Never once have the kids asked "what's in the crates?". But, if we waited and brought them with us when we travel for Christmas, they'd definitely know what was in them! And it keeps them out of the house so there's no snooping! ;)

[sselig2000]

I think it is great. If you have always done it that way, you probably can't truly imagine, but I IMAGINE :) that your holiday is probably so much more peaceful than ours sometimes is, because you can sort of just relax and enjoy.

Christina...that is amazing. What a great idea! Good way to keep the surprises. You must really get to enjoy the season with the kids. I am really behind this year. I miss just worrying about baking, decorating, and then choosing to go out or not...people watch or just last minute things.
