April 17, 2008 | contest

Last week I received a package in the mail from the lovely Carrie Lea. Inside was a post card, super cute little magnets, some post its, a lip gloss, some gum and a candy bar from the wrong team in Chicago. haha, I almost took the candy bar out because I didn’t want to tarnish my image as a Sox fan! Okay, I wouldn’t do that but still.

What did I do to deserve such a lovely present?

I was on of the winners of her Pay It Forward giveaway contest thingy and now it is my turn. So dear freaders, should you want an amazingly fabulous fantastic super package from me in your mailbox, I suggest you enter. I know you bitches love free stuff too!

The only thing is, you have to pay it forward yourself once you get your package. Leave a comment. Lurkers, come out, come out where ever you are. You can play too. Three of you will win.

I will close comments Monday night. Get your entries in before then!

READY.

SET.

GO.

Not a lurker, but leaving a comment.

Ooh! I want to win, I want to win!

Does my paying it forward count retroactively? (Meaning, if I win, does my current contest count?) It’s okay if not.

Anyway, FUN!

I’m definitely down for tryin’ this one out. Neat idea!

oooh! Pick Me! Pick Me!

I’m not a full-time lurker… I’ve commented before. Usually I just lurk, though.
This is such a great idea… I saw it on someone else’s blog and was too late to get in on it.

I love free stuff! Pick me!

Holla, I’m in.

Go Sox (but obviously i’m talking about the RED SOX!) mwhahahaha cute blog present btw!

I loooove free stuff (and handing out free stuff too.)

So funny. I’m doing one of these starting next week. BTW, if I were you, I’d have taken a picture of the candy bar being burned on the stake. You think I’m kidding…

At first I was confused about what I had to comment about in order to enter but now I see that I just have to comment. Awesome.

PICK ME! I LOVE buying presents for people. Seriously, I really enjoy picking out cute personalized things and will totally send someone else a super cool package.

Go Rockies!
Wait, did I say something wrong?

Do I have to say something witty or cool? ‘Cuz I ain’t got none of that. But I do want to enter your contest… sounds like fun!

I like free Lovely things!

did you say FREE?

Hi. I’m Jenn. I’m delurking myself.

Uh, the corners of the boxes on your blog are a little too round for me. Fix that eh?

Free? Mail? The? Count me in, lady!

Well since I never got my starbucks gift card from the last contest you had…I guess I’ll enter this one too

I love pay it forward! So much fun!

Pick me! Pick me! You already know my mailing address!

hi, i’m barbie. and i think you you should totally pick me. why? because i’m barbie, bitch. obvi.

xo. heart you lady.

Oh my goodness! This is WAY fun! I might start this even if I don’t win!!!

Jamie, this is funny I should stop by right now because I got your comment on my post from yesterday—thanks by the way! I just realized you are not on my Blogroll of people I recommend!! ACK!!! What the hell have I been doing and didn’t realize it?! So, you my friend, are added. As for the email you sent me I’m sorry I haven’t wrote back—I will!!!

I want to win too!!!! I love stuff in the mail!!!

Ooh what will we get? I’m so curious

That’s cute. I’ll play. I love mail!

Even though I just won Angela’s pay it forward, can I enter yours? I promise to pay it forward to six people if I win!

ooh! love it, i want to win.

i love sending and getting stuff in the mail, who doesn’t?

except that it has to pass through the hands of my postman… who i’m fairly certain is a meth head – he has one dangling tooth – nast!

great idea

send me some love!

So all I have to do is leave a comment to enter? How about to increase my chances of being picked, I tell you that I just spent a full 6 minutes trying to close a tupperware before realizing that I was using the wrong lid. Do you feel bad for me now? Did that make you want to pick me more? How about if I tell you that you’re really pretty? And then emphasize that despite this little contest, I actually mean that

Happy Thursday!

PICK ME!

Best idea ever. Pick me!!

OH meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love Paying it Forward!

Ooooh. Love it. I totally want to do this…

Pick me, choose me, love me…. oh wait that is from Grey’s Anatomy.

i’m in! i’m in!

oh. i love mail.

I’m loving all these penpal-esque contests of bring the internet/freaders into your “real life”

I love mail. So much. It’s sort of ridiculous

you know i’m in : )

please send me free things.

please!

I <3 free things! And I <3 putting together packages! Pick me! Pick me!!!

What a fun idea!

That looks fantastic. I would love one.

Have I mentioned, by the way, that you’re adorable?

(Completely unrelated to the contest, of course.)

ooohhhh I want to play!

Pick me Pick me and join mine if you would like

I dont like my chances…

But I have to at least try!

Did you ever get the package I sent?!?!???

So I started all “oooh! I should comment! Three people!” and then I kept scrolling down and down…but you should totally pick me! My theory is that since I may be moving to Chicago, getting a package would be like a sign saying “yes! move!” Also, I like you lots! (Sucking up couldn’t hurt my chances, right?)

I’m totally stealing this idea.

I was stopping by anyways to say hello, since I’m in the neighbourhood

But while I’m here, PICK ME. Also, cool blog post concept. Gonna do it.

I would love to do this, It’s like a mix tape swap! But with cool stuff too boot!
I would be honoured.

Yay for fun packages! I could totally use a fun package right about now. And the continued fun of picking things to put in a package to pay it forward!

ive been reading about this pay it foward idea! ill pretend i didnt see the cubs thing!

Cubs candy bar? Who needs to be yelled at…kidding.

You should arrange the next Chicago blogger meet-up and have it at a SOX game. Fact.

whee! i want to play!

Oooh fun. What exactly does a Cubbies candy bar taste like??? My sister has gone to everyyy single home Cubs game the last 2 weeks. Out of control. But she’ll be in Boston in 7 days…where tickets to games are impossible to get!

Free stuf! Want!

I haven’t won a blog contest yet, so here’s to hoping!

Ooh I would like to enter, please.

I wanted to do the Grey’s Anatomy line too! But someone beat me to it. So instead I’m going to write in Greek.

Dialekse emena!

OOOOO! ME! ME! ME!!!!!!! PICK ME!

That is SO much fun! Hopefully, you’ll pick me…It is my birthday week!

oh! me me me!!!

Ya know it’s interesting, the whole Pay It Forward concept. I mean, I love it, truly I do, but more often than not, I do things for others just because of the pure joy it brings me. Sounds so cheesy, I know.

I am that friend that sends so much mail that the employees at not one but TWO local post offices know me. By name. *sheesh*

I bake and then gift my friends with this homemade sunshine – my famous madeline cookies (damn if the French don’t know a thing or two about buttery goodness!), banana bread (my mother’s recipe), whoopie pie cookies, and whatever random recipe I happen to try!

My friend Wendy (www.wendycass.net) is one of my favorites to send mail to. This year I sent her a lovely little window flower growing kit to bring a little springtime to her cold midwest days.

While receiving something is always oh-so-lovely, half the fun for me is sending it and knowing the look of joy and the feeling of appreciation the recipient will have.

Okay, enough of this Hallmark BS. I love that you’re making a game of this – so great!

All I am saying is that I too am a White Sox’s fan. I say you pick me and we hit up the Cell this summer!

This is fun! Pick me please?

Ooh, post it notes! I double heart some office supplies, you know. If I had known that office supplies were good Pay it Forward gifts, I totally wouldn’t have been paralyzed by panic at the though of doing my own Pay it Forward.

Hey Girl! I’m totally game!

Also send me a message on 20SB with your email so I can add it to my readers list. I had an intruder and had to make it private.

What a great idea!

Ummm…I TO SOTALLY (haha) want a package! And did I mention I make the absolute best care packages ever?! hehehe.

Oh wow, this is the first time I heard of something like this being conducted. that’s wonderful of you to continue the pay it forward deal.

[...] Did anyone comment and NOT receive a package? Let me know! A lot of bloggers are paying it forward: Jamie, Cheryl, Angela, and [...]
