WHAT WOULD YOU DO?



2 winners of my recent giveaway did not leave contact information and have not responded to the queries I put on my blog...should I wait ad infinitum? If winners don't collect their prize do they forfeit the winnings? Should the prizes stay on my shelf doing nothing? I'M IN A PICKLE! Help me out here. If anyone in blogland knows how to contact bebe (Ken) or Mary please do, but also leave your opinion about how I should handle the missing winner situation...did it ever happen to you? Is the prize still on your shelf? Did you have another drawing? I will do whatever the majority of bloggers decide.

  1. Hmmm....well we could all post about it and see if that helps...or you could just set a deadline and if you haven't heard by that point pick two more of your entries! Maybe one of your regular followers will be lucky enough to win this time!

  2. I agree with Laura at 52 Flea - that's trying every avenue - then pick two more winners. You're trying your best and sweet as can be. Jennifer jensthreegraces

  3. Gosh, I don't know what I would do. But, I do know that if I had won that A VERRE DU CURISTE and the other goodies I would be in my glory! Hmmmm, that picture of the paper ephemera looks familiar....... Keep us updated if you would like us to mention it on our blogs. hugs,Kim

  6. I think I would set a closing date really soon - the last day of this month would make a tidy, neat date for it. After all, we'll be in May in a couple of days and you want this to be wrapped up. You've done a great job on this and been patient - bless you. Then draw two more names and you're done with it and two more bloggers receive some fabulous goodies!

    Or I'd be willing to change my name to Mary...

  7. I've seen a couple of other blogs give a deadline, then choose another winner(s). I don't like to respond to "Mary" ....nothing against the name, it's just not mine... not what I've gone by for 52 years. HOWEVER... in this case I could very easily be persuaded and claim this lovely giveaway for myself!!!

  8. I would definitely give the winners a few days to respond, then I would draw another name!

  9. Wonder if these people are real? I'm just sayin.
    Oh well, I would wait a few more days and then draw new names. You have been more than fair and patient.

  10. Think the idea to publish one more plea for them to contact you with a "by" date then after that date has passed picking two more names is more than fair! You've been

  14. I agree, pick two more winners since the first two have had more than enough time to respond. They probably forgot to check back here.
