Here's the background:

I entered my mom in a contest that our local florist is sponsoring for Mother's Day. I could use about a dozen votes to get her in the top three contestants and to qualify for a prize.

So:

You must first be a registered user of Zeidlers. After registering and before May 10, 2008, you must go to the contest page and vote (hopefully a five-star vote) for my mom's picture. It was the first photo entered in the contest, so it will say, "Submitted By: Kathy C. - Added On: 04/22/2008" underneath the photo (a picture of my mom and my granddaughter.)

This link should get you there: http://www.zeidlers.com/contests/evansvill...ex.cfm?entID=67

Finally:

To prove that you've voted, come back and post how many current votes my mom's photo has after you have voted. After Mother's Day, I will draw from everyone voting and posting in this thread. If you want extra chances in my contest, get your significant other, children, friends, relatives, etc., to register and vote and you can post in this thread again to prove each of their votes.

Prize: A U.S. Proof Set. Can't remember the year but I'll post it later after I dig it out of my coin box.

Mine will be 18. And I put a rating of 5.


I'll help you out even more but you'll have to find me a significant other first

Oh. and I didn't have to register... just put in my email.. but I haven't gotten my confirmation email (though it said it registered it).

Your vote didn't count if you didn't get the confirmation email.

Two of my relatives said they had the same problem--not receiving a confirmation e-mail. One of them tried logging in three or four times and THEN they finally received a confirmation (which they replied to) and logged in and got to vote. The second one sent an e-mail to Zeidlers and complained and they immediately received a confirmation and was able to then log-in and vote.

I would suggest trying to log-in a few times and seeing if they then send you out a confirmation e-mail.

We're in third place, right now!


Thanks!!
