Winner of CL494 Hip Hip Hurray from Hero Arts Fun Friday Giveaway

My won item : Hero Arts CL494 Hip Hip Hurray

After about two (2) months of long waited time, finally my won item of CL494 Hip Hip Hurray has arrived to my doorstep!

I am one of the winner of Hero Arts Fun Friday Giveaway that held on 11 March 2011! This time, they are giving away their new CL494 Hip Hip Hurray to five (5) winners by selecting randomly. I participant in the giveaway by giving ideas how to change the six (6) cards design into mailable fine art. I did not put high hope as there are so many people participating and their ideas are much more greater than mine.

I do not even know that I won until Rina Damay leave me a congratulation message on my personal Facebook wall that I won CL494 Hip Hip Hurray stamp. At first, I am blur at what she told me and I went to check all the blog candies I entered but none of them showing that I won. Then, I read the message carefully again and only realize it was Hero Arts Fun Friday Giveaway she been talking about!

I replied Rina's message saying thanks for informing and how excited I was on the first winning from Hero Arts. Then, I e-mailed Hero Arts on my address as requested. Few days after that, Hero Arts replied me that my winning item will be posted soon.

A month has been passed but my winning item is yet to show its face on my doorstep. Thus, I decided to e-mail Hero Arts to check on the status just in case the parcel is stuck on custom or missing to somewhere. Few days later, I received reply from Hero Arts and they confirmed that the parcel was shipped out as promised earlier. Since they confirmed, I cannot do anything but to wait for few more weeks in case the shipment was delayed.

Early May 2011 I e-mailed Hero Arts again to inform that I am yet to receive my winning item despite is been almost a month of the winning announcement. Few days later, I was informed by Hero Arts that they will ship a replacement as they do not know what happens to the first shipment. I am glad that Hero Arts willing to do that.

Finally, today, I have a chance to lay my hands on my winning items of CL494 Hip Hip Hurray together with Hero Arts 2011 catalog, Hero Arts Spring 2011 catalog and 2011 More Spring catalog. Thanks again Hero Arts for sending me a replacement and apologize to be nagging over a little goodies!
