Fan Appreciation giveaway is now CLOSED!

Welcome to the Lilah Moo fan appreciation giveaway! 
As you have worked hard to bring me fans, I have worked hard to bring you some of my favorite products created by amazing people. As a fan you have the chance to win awesome prizes! (I am jealous myself that I don’t get to enter to win!) Participating in this giveaway are 15 sponsors offering more than 25 prizes combined!!!

The ’Fan Appreciation’ giveaway will run from December 15th to 3 a.m. EST December 25th, 2010. Winners will be announced right here on the Lilah Moo blog and on the Lilah Moo fan page at noon on December 25th! (Merry Christmas!!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules & Eligibly:
In order to qualify for any of the prizes you must ‘like’ ALL of the sponsor pages, whether you enter for their sponsored prize or not. These great companies took the time to participate in this giveaway and offer an item(s) for free; It’s really the least we can do for them right? <3

Each prize will be listed in a separate blog post. In order to enter you will leave a comment on the blog post of the prizes you would like to win. There is no limit on how many prizes you may enter to win. By separating the prizes this way, it is my hopes that the fans can choose to enter whichever items they would like to win rather than win a package containing merchandise they can't use! (i.e. winning a princess package when you have 4 boys!)

Winners will be chosen random via random.org at the end of the event.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional entries:
You can earn five additional entries for each order placed to ANY of the wonderful sponsors throughout the duration of the giveaway. You may split these additional entries between different posts or post them all on one prize you REALLY want to win. Purchases made before the start of the giveaway do not qualify. Forward your order receipt to LilahMoo@hotmail.com for verification. I will the add your extra entries onto the prize(s) of your choosing.

(example - You made a purchase from Cutiepoops that earned you 5 additional entries. You could post 3 of your extra entries on the Baby Ktan prize and post the other 2 entries on the StephieMC prize)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entry Format:
Each prize post will have a question such as “What item from the Lilah Moo store would you most likely buy?” In the post you will need to post your name, email address and answer to the question so that I can easily contact you if you are the winner. The example below is what your comment should look like -

Think you can't afford to cloth diaper? Think again!

Recently I read a FANTASTIC blog post on the Fluff Envy blog. I was once one of those women who wanted to try cloth diapering but after thinking of all the expenses, the idea was tossed aside because it would be too expensive to get started. You know how they say 'Two heads are better than one"? Sometimes other people think of something that you didn't. After reading this article it was almost like DUH! Why didn't I think of that! I was fortunate enough to find great deals on used diapers and I kind of dove into cloth diapering on a whim once I decided I didn't care about the initial cost. Had I read this post before time, I would have started a LONG time ago!

For any of you mommas that are on the fence due to the 'cost' cloth diapering, please take a few minutes to read what she has written. Even those of you that DO cloth diaper should read it, I know I plan to use this information for other moms who express an interest to me to get started. Seeing a break down of cost like this really helps see how possible it really is :)


You can read the aforementioned blog post from Fluff Envy here!

You could also visit the Fluff Envy fan page and send her some love. This page is a wealth of knowledge with so many helpful moms. I use this page frequently for help regarding cloth diapering!
