Vox event! Kawaii raffle (free entry) open to all Voxers.

Here's an event for you-- I've decided to live up to my Vox name, Kawaii. I thought I would show my gratitude towards all of you wonderful Voxers, both my neighbors and anyone who I've yet to meet, by having a special holiday event. Because I couldn't send out Christmas presents to all of my awesome friends on here, I thought I would send my happy spirit and some fun kawaii love to those who I could not already reach. This event has been in the works now for a few weeks, and it will be taking place from today (December 19th) to my birthday (December 27th). Until then, I will not be posting, for this entry will stay up in order to give everyone the opportunity to join. Please read all the details. I need both a comment and an email! Here are the details:

Who

Every member of Vox may enter this raffle, whether he/she is in my neighborhood or not. Those of you who are in my neighborhood will have the special bonus of getting two tickets entered just by following the directions. Even if you aren't interested in the prize itself, there's bound to be a relative or friend who would appreciate this gift.

You will not be charged with any shipping. The only people who should be aware of putting money into this are those of you who are not within the United States. I am not responsible for any shipping taxes. I will be shipping the prize out with Priority mail (if you're within the states) or EMS (if you're outside of the country). If you're not comfortable with accepting a gift that may hold you responsible for taxes, simply don't enter. ^_^

*Keep in mind that I will not ask for every person's address. I will only be asking for the winner's address and will contact him/her through email once the raffle is over. Again, if you don't feel comfortable with the possibility of giving out your address, please do not enter. If you want some kawaii fun though, please read on!

What

This is a raffle! There is no charge whatsoever. The winner will receive a beautiful and very adorable Sanrio Sugarbunnies bag (8" x 6") stuffed with tons of kawaii items. Within the bag are eight items, all of which were bought specifically for this raffle. None of them are used or worn away-- all are brand new! The items inside are: three long notepads, one small notebook, a kitty tin case with a surprise inside, a miscellaneous bunny pack, a pack of 100 kawaii glitter stickers, and a cute bunny "checkbook" that's really a notepad. In total, the kawaii gift set is worth about $20-25.

Here's what you have to do:

• Leave a comment in this entry with your name at the beginning (and you can write whatever else afterwards). This is to keep track of who is entered into the raffle for my own benefit.
• Send me an email with both your Vox name and your full name, first and last. (milkeyes@gmail.com)
• Please keep track of your number(s). I am not responsible for any lost ticket numbers.
• Tell friends they can win a free gift, no charge! They can enter, too, as long as they have a Vox account.
• Wait for the results. ^^

Here's what I'll be doing:

• I'll be keeping a list of those who enter with the comments that are left. (Please leave the requested comment. I want to make sure I get everyone's email and make sure none get sent into my junk box. I can keep a running tally this way.)
• Once you email me, I'll reply back to you with your raffle ticket number.
• For those of you who are in my neighborhood as of December 18th, I will give you two numbers.

Where

This event will only take place through Vox (and my email, tee hee). It will not be held on any other site. I will have the raffle at my house or apartment. I'm planning to host the raffle through a video entry, so those of you who are suspicious of me (haha) won't have to worry about helping people cheat. I want everyone to have equal opportunity in this event.

When

As stated before, this special Vox Raffle Event will be taking place from December 19th to December 27th. I will close the raffle entries most likely around noon on the final day.

Because of the holiday season and the rush that usually follows Christmas and New Year's Day, I'll most likely be sending the package out during the week of the new year, sometime between January 1st and January 5th.

Kawaii! Feel the love.

Happy holidays to those of you who enter and even to those of you who don't enter. ^_~ I hope you and your friends and family have a great and beautiful season. Stay kawaii, loves. Have fun!

What a great idea; I have to enter because I know an 11 year old little girl who would not be happy if I didn't at least give it a shot. *laughter*

Thanks Lauren! This is a great idea... and, come o think of it, pretty darn generous too. I know an eight-year-old niece that would love this... that is, if a wife and mother of two doesn’t snag it first ;O)

Happy Holidays Lauren. You deserve it.

Email's on the way!

[Lauren]

Everyone from here on is marked down on the raffle list. I also sent out numbers to everyone, so make sure that you've received my email with the info. (No need to reply back though, tee hee.)

Keep it on coming. ^____^

[Blair]

Aww, this is so sweet of you! I'm going to stay out though because my own drawers are already overfilling with cute. I also got your Christmas package the other day. Thank you for thinking of me! I loved it all, and your card was beautiful. I always wonder where people find such nice cards because I only find cheesy stuff when I look in stores. I sent you a tiny package yesterday so it would get there just in time for Christmas. I had no idea your birthday was coming up! I should probably hang around Vox more so I don't miss these things. :)

Update time!

To everyone that's registered up to this point, I have you marked down and have sent out emails to all of you with your raffle number(s). I hope all of the replies reached you. ^^

Seeing my list makes me realize how strong of a community Vox really is. I'm really proud to be a part of it. Thanks to everyone that is and will be participating. You rock.

Jessica- Hey, there's never an age too old for Sanrio. I love that everyone loves it as much as I do, even though we're well over our kiddie years. ^^

Mariser and C- It's so cool how you two found me. Kenn was so nice for making that entry! I think that made my day. ^___________^ And yay for the Vox page! Haha, it's so useful.

Celena- Aw, oh kii. You don't have to participate now, but if you change your mind, feel free to email me, hon. Same goes to you, Blair!

Update time!

I have everyone down from this point on. There are still seven days left to sign up, so there's no need to feel pressured to enter right away. Just try to get in before noon on the 27th. ^^ That's my only suggestion.

And please remember to leave me a comment AND send me an email. I'm still getting some comments without emails. I've been messaging people through Vox though, just in case. I know this entry was long, so some may have just skimmed, tee hee. Thanks to everyone so far though!

Voxy Lady M- Thanks for pointing me out on the TIG page. =D I would have totally missed that. This is my second time being on there, so it's unexpected, haha. Yay!

The raffle is still open for a week so keep 'em coming.

Thanks to everyone that's entered so far. It's turning out to be a really great event. I'm glad everyone is enjoying it as much as I am, tee hee.

There are still a few people who have not sent me an email after my last update-- I think there are four people who still need to do that. I contacted those of you who I still need information from through the Vox messaging system. Once you respond/email me, I can then email you back your raffle number(s). ^___^

Six days are still left for entering the raffle so anyone else who wants to join in, you're welcome to do that anytime!

There's about one day left in the raffle. As mentioned before, I'll be taking down names until about noon tomorrow (Central US time). I'll then be making a video post where I will display the raffle and the winning number. The video will be posted in the afternoon tomorrow (the 27th), but I'm not sure what the exact time will be yet. I have to wait until I'm back at my apartment so I can upload the video and edit any photos that I may want in the post.

Thanks to all who have entered! The event has taken off really well so far, and there's still about 24 hours to join, so feel free to leave a comment and email me if you want to enter. <3

Speaking of which:

The raffle is now closed. I will be choosing the winner within the next ten minutes or so, and I'll be announcing the winner to everyone later this afternoon. (Patience is a virtue. ^_~) Thanks for being so patient. I'm excited to see who wins myself. Tee hee.
