I signed up and sent my money! Just so you know when I tried to put thebutton on my blog it is showing up as a tiny blue box with a question mark
*smacks head* Duh, I forgot when I copy code the quotes always get messed up. I fix them and it works now!
LOL, yes those text/code boxes are finicky sometimes. Glad to hear you figured it out. 🙂
Just signed up and sent my $20. Thanks 🙂
Angela
Happy to have you at the picnic! 🙂
Sent and signed up! I’m excited, hoping to break 1k this time!
We’re aiming for high numbers as usual; I think limiting to 2 links will help everyone achieve their goals, even more than before, this time round. 🙂 Thanks for joining us.

Signed up and ready to go!!!!! Thanks for putting this together!
Ok the text box link is not working for me….. I don’t get it!!!!!!
this is what I have:
gah when I try to post the code it shows as blank
nm, I got it working….
I submitted my payment and form 🙂 Look forward to participating!
Submitted my payment, let me toss up the button (I knew I forgotten to do something last night!)
Just letting you know that I stopped by your blog today from the ‘In The Nestwork’ site.
Have a nice weekend mate!
Paid and signed up! This is my first time… so excited. I do have a question though. I put my direct link to my email subscription and Facebook, so by doing so, I won’t get any traffic directly to my blog. Should I use my blog url post about this contest (when ready) for them to come to and then they sign up via email subscription?
Thanks so much for this opportunity!
Donna
Up to you. You will get more traffic if you send people to your blog first. As long as you have an easy to see sign up for your email box near the top of your blog, it should be okay. If you have a direct link, people are more likely to subscribe during this giveaway event. There are a lot to follow as entries, so the easier the better. The incentive to put in the effort is the more changes to win these fabulous prizes. 🙂
Signed up, sent my money, and working on my post. Thanks.
Im accessing on my phone where I cant use paypal etc but as soon as I get home at the weekend I think this is something I will definitly get involved with!
Will we get a confirmation email showing that we paid and will be participating?
Yes I will try to send something out today. Thanks for participating. 🙂
We joined the Picnic, sent the money and filled out the form. Fill free to come and join our December To Remember Giveaway. The Facebook Group Link is here just request to join and fill out the form and send money. Thanks for doing this great giveaway!!

Hi Stacey,
I signed up last week and forwarded you the payment. I was wondering if I could receive confirmation that I signed up and that everything is good to go? I would appreciate it 🙂 My blog is Tidbits From A Mom, located at http://tidbitsfromamom.blogspot.com. Thanks!
I have you confirmed and emailed…thanks for joining! 🙂
woops! I typed .com and not .net. I think that was the problem!
I signed up today…and sent my payment…but I can’t see a text box for coding the button!
Could be my Google Chrome…
Would you be willing to send the coding to me via email?? I know it’s extra work…sorry 🙁 If not…I’ll just code the button myself – to come back to this link?
Thanks in Advance 🙂
Cee
Glad to have you! If you could just save the image to your computer, upload to a host like Photobucket and link the code to this page it would be appreciated; it’s better for bandwidth reasons this way anyway. 🙂
