oops, sorry!

Wednesday, June 20, 2012



Hey guys, I got an email, saying that my blog from yesterday was reported, because it was asking for votes. Oops, sorry!! I've seen other blogs like that, didn't realize it wasn't okay. Sorry, SparkWorld. Didn't mean to break the rules. Anyway, I removed the blog. Strike it from your memories and hit the reset button for me, please?

I blame our hoop-crazed brains, or maybe it was those glow-in-the-dark bracelets...

It's all good.

    I understand why they have the rule, but gee. guess now we know. I'm glad is saw the blog before you took it down, that way I got to LIKE the hula hoop doll which was waaay too cute! I guess next time, email me! How will we know if Audrey won? I'm assuming you can blog about that!

For you and Audrey!

    That is a bummer that you got reported for such a silly little thing. I understand the rules, but in this case I think its silly. They probably noticed it because your blog is so popular. Other people probably slide under the radar. You are just too AWESOME. :)

    Oh Gosh! I've seen other blogs like that before, also. The dolls are very cute, but I couldn't vote because I am not on Facebook. Good Luck to Audrey though.

  I voted for Audrey too. I want a Hula Hoop Doll but can't find one. So I hope they pay attention and start making them after she wins. The Dolls are so cute. God Bless You and Have a Wonderful Week. Audrey and you are doing GREAT. Keep it up.

    Audrey has a lot of your traits. I hope she wins and her drawings were cool. I got my vote in.
I too have seen others asking for votes for their interests here at Spark.

I definitely believe you have taught your daughter to follow her heart and even in this, to be honest and admit when you have made a mistake. You rock as a Mom!

    I just have to say that I admire your attitude - your excitement for Audrey, your lack of anger (or at least a public expression of it), and your respect for the rules. emoticon

    I must have missed the blog. When someone gets popular there is always someone that looks for something to ruin it.

    I see plenty of blogs on SP asking for votes...hell I have seen one asking for money, I actually reported that one and it was never removed...so it seems strange that this one was a bad thing. Well I got my vote in and actually sent it to some of my non SP friends too :)
Keep us updated on the results!

What about the Hooping Idol, we voted for that too?? It makes no sense...sorry that someone reported you...

    No need to apologize. I have to wonder if Sparkpeople checked the page out for themselves. You weren't promoting a product, which I have seen happen here quite a few times.

I don't have facebook or else I would be voting for your daughter; I thought her idea was fabulous. Let us know if she wins.

    I got my vote in yesterday but this might get people to google "create your own string doll" to find the link if they want to check it out. I found nothing offensive with the blog yesterday, in fact just the opposite. I found an excited mom telling about something her beautiful daughter was trying to do. I am glad I was able to help Audrey. Now, keep hooping, blogging and vlogging! You are way to entertaining to quit!!

I hope she wins. Do let us know how it goes because I didn't save the address.
