I see people are still posting here... But I do love that others are looking out for the newbies and letting them know to message me instead. That's the love, folks! I'm so proud!
But I did want to check in very quickly since people still are insisting on posting here to let everyone know some things that I get asked a lot:
1. You can submit your birthday to me ANYTIME. There is no rule or time frame you have to meet in order for me to receive and record your birthday.
2. If you want to be mentioned in the Shout-Outs and receive the gift card, you HAVE to get your birthday to me before the month of your birthday. I try very, very hard to post the Shout-Out on the first of the month (Western Hemisphere, specifically) so if you message me after you see it up already, you will have to patiently wait until next year. But PLEASE still celebrate with us! So if you are an April birthday and you haven't submitted yet... you only have, like, a DAY left to get it to me!
3. If you PM me on Eden with your birthday, I DO get it! I may not respond, especially since at any given day I have over 20 messages in my inbox to go through... But I DO get them! Seriously, I now officially have over 500 birthdays, people! That is AMAZING!
4. If you email me your birthday, it's hit and miss. A lot of people don't include their screen name, a lot of people forget their birthdays (weird, right?), and a lot of people's email inboxes reject me replying to them to let them know of the missing info. I try very hard to respond to these.
5. If there is any questions about the club or rules that no one can answer or that aren't in my posts, message me. I am an insanely busy woman (you don't even know!!!) but I promise I won't bite... Unless you want me to. I may take a while to respond to your message but I promise I will if it's a question rather than a submission.
6. MOST IMPORTANTLY! Please don't just take the gift card and disappear! Celebrate with us! Join in on discussion, learn some funny or cool things from my posts, and wish your fellow contributors a happy birthday (or un-birthday) too! We are a community and thrive best together!
That is all.
