I'll wait to read the rest until tomorrow. Can I just say that this looks like SO. Much. FUN!

Wow this looks like fun! Just a question...well i am really confused...

you enter and then answer the questions? How do you enter without a facebook account? because no one in my family has one. can someone please explain??!!

laura

Whoa. This sounds super intense :) Laura, I don't have a Facebook either...it IS a bit confusing- I mean, does having a Facebook matter a ton? Oh, and how does Rafflecopter know if someone is a "potential winner?" How many websites do we have to give our email to? Sorry for the plethora of questions!

Should be fun!!

Yay! This looks amazing!!
I'm with Katie: what's this whole "potential winner" thing about? And is it better to sign up with Facebook if we have one, or can we just use our email?
Excited to start this tomorrow! Still praying for everyone, hope you're all enjoying your summers! :)

Love and Blessings,
*Rachel*

Hi girls, I just did a few edits on it to hopefully make the questions a bit easier to read. You guys are quick! You do NOT need a facebook account for this. To fill out the rafflecopter form you only need an email address (just disregard all the "log in as facebook" and such. For the questions where there are clues on facebook, there are optional questions for those of you NOT on facebook. Hope that helps. See how you do and let me know

Regarding email addresses to comment on websites, it really only applies to Nancy's. Potential winner means that I will select the winners via Rafflecopter, but keep in mind someone may not send me their answers in time. Or the answers are wrong! You are a winner once everything is confirmed. :) Make sense? Gotta be a bit more legal about it in case some one is not too happy about some wording or something.

Hi, I'm in Australia. Does that mean I can't join in?

Hi May, you are more than welcome to participate, in fact Nancy would love it! Unfortunately we are not able to ship or include non-USA addresses for the prizes. If you are able to provide a USA address then we can ship the prizes to whomever you choose.

Laura, Did I answer your questions? To finalize your entry you will have to do the final step on Rafflecopter which is complete the questions. The goal was for everyone to see all the ways to enter to win (sharing the contest and such). Your entry will not go away, you can return as many times as you wish to the Rafflecopter entry form.

Hi im not in the usa either but i may be able to send it to a friend there who can send it to me... But i cant contact her or get her address for a long time coz im not home. So sorry and im sooooo sad. :_(
Bye

Hi Katie and May!!!!

Even if you can't receive the prizes, you should still collect everything with us - it'll be fun!!! :D

Aw, I'm so sorry, Katie! :(

Thanks so much for this, Mrs. Rue - and your amazing VA! ;) By the way, I don't have a FB, so I can't do the 'like' entries? Or did I miss something?

Hey, and sorry I haven't commented in a while! I've been following along and reading all your comments, just haven't commented myself (obviously). ;) Praying for you all! Love you girls! <3

Hi Nicole (great middle name, that is mine. Just spelled differently :))
That is correct that you are not able to do the "like" or "tweet" on facebook or twitter, HOWEVER, you can "share" at least once a day however you choose. Hopefully that makes up for it. Have fun!

Hi I don't really understand it will someone please explain it to me??

Beth D, please email me (leah) impactauthor@comcast.net and let me know what is most confusing for you. Have you asked an adult to help you out? That might be easiest, but feel free to email me too and I will see how I can help you play via email k?

Thanks Leah but I actually figured it out! But if I have any other questions I'll email you.

Hey one more question...how do you answer the questions??? Do you have to submit those??? ?????????

ilylwsbwa
laura

OK so i think i just figured out what to do but just confirming it...you write the answers down on paper,etc. and then give your email to the rafflecopter, and then it sends you something that you reply to with your answers???

ilylwsbwa
laura

Sorry one more question! I completed all the questions I can before Wed. At this point, do I just wait to get an email from Rafflecopter? Is that the next step?

Beth, basically you click "enter to win" in the Rafflecopter form, enter your email and name, and then type out the answers to all the questions in bold in a Word document. Not sure what to do after that...

I didn't know there was another Katie! I'm so sorry; but you should still participate with us ;)

P.S. What does "entries earned" mean on Rafflecopter?

Working on the scavenger hunt right now!! :)

The way I took it was: you enter in the Rafflecopter thing at the end of the post. By doing different things (sharing the scavenger hunt, liking FB pages, etc.), you earn more entries. (The entries being like tickets in a real raffle - the more you have, the better chance you have at your name being selected.) Then, Rafflecopter will randomly select how ever many potential winners and send them an email. You reply to this email and send in your answers. From all of the potential winners, 12 of those (who had the correct answers to all of the questions) will be the actual winners and get prizes.
Am I right, Leah?

Haha, Sarah Elizabeth, I was just trying to explain it all in a comment, then saw yours before I posted mine - and mine is so much longer than yours but you explained it perfectly. :P I can be so long-winded sometimes...

Anyway, hope all you girls understand! Thank you so much for being so patient with us, Leah! :)

Oh that makes sense! Thanks Sarah!

Nicole - Haha, I did a lot of editing to get it that short... It was a LOT longer when I first typed it out.

Katie - Sure! Let's just hope that I understood everything correctly! ;)

I'm just a bit confused what we do with the answers when we're done - is there a place to submit those? Or do they just stay on our notepads?

My favorite Nancy Rue book is "Motorcycles, Sushi, and One Strange Book." I just love everything about it!

This looks so much fun!

so i finished except the question i am not supposed to answer until Wed- can I still click 'completed quiz' on the raffle-thing?

I love reading everyone's "thoughts" on how it works. YES, most of you are correct. I will make this change about to clarify.
HOLD ON TO ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS. If Rafflecopter selects you as a winner (when I tell it to) I WILL EMAIL you myself (impactauthor@comcast.net...if your spam is set to HIGH then you have to add me as an approved email address).
At that point you will reply to my email with your answers. If you got them all correct then VOILA! You are a winner (but you have to do it in the specified amount of time).
Rafflecopter is a way for me to gather everyone's information and for you to earn "entries" (number of times you are entered to win. More entries, the greater your chance).
Kapish? Keep the questions comin'. Love how you are all helping each other out.
Please don't be shy about it. If you don't get it email me personally and I will help you out. Okay?
Leah

okay girls, I updated the "how it works" and in a few other places. Go and check it out to see if that helps clarify things. Appreciate all your input.

Yes! Kate S, feel free to complete the entry form. No problem. Plus you can come back each day and do additional entries (did you see that part?) "Share this Scavenger Hunt" allows you to return each day. And if you are on facebook or twitter, same thing.

I'm not in USA either :(

ok THANK YOU SO MUCH LEAH!!! You have just clarified everything for me!!!

ilylwsbwa
laura

ladies, I'm really proud of you for helping each other out, and also for helping out the younger girls. It's such a privilege to know you. Have fun!

OH MY GOSH I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING AWFUL!! I WON'T BE HERE ON THE 26TH WENT THE RAFFLECOPTER DRAWS! IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO ABOUT THAT? I BET NOT BUT JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ASK...SAD FACE. DARN IT!

ilylwsbwa
laura

LauraJane, will you have internet wherever you will be? The names will also be posted on the rafflecopter form on this site when they are selected. Or I have another option. email me directly.

Glad to hear things seem to be clarified! Thanks for hanging in there everyone. I think once you start you will figure it out easily.

Leah - another question, about the bulleted, unbolded questions, you said, "The questions with a bullet are optional, however might help you comment on Facebook , or give Nancy some ways to better engage with her readers. All input is welcome!".

What exactly did you mean by that? Are we supposed to comment an answer about it? I'm thinking not (tho I've been answering those questions anyway on my Word Document because I'm bored and they were fun to answer), but I just wanted to clarify.

Nicole, You are correct. Only the bolded questions are required, but wanted to stimulate some other thoughts and give people an opportunity to elaborate or go a bit deeper.

Can you still join or was Sunday the deadline...if not I might just find the answers for fun!

Ok, so, Leah, I believe that i will have internet connection in the hotel that i will be staying at. But i think that my dad only ever takes our netbook with us on vacation and i can't access my email account from there. so i am going to ask him if he will take the regualar computer. if he is, then everything will be a-ok, but if he is just taking the netbook then i will email you the answers directly. is that ok? well, that is if i am selected...come on rafflecopter pick me!

one more question...if my mom does it, does she sign in on rafflecopter by herself, or do i do it on mine? cause that will give me more chances to win... :)

ilylwsbwa
laura

Megan, This coming Sunday, June 24th is when it ends. You have plenty of time and haven't missed anything.

LauraJane, No need for your dad to take a computer. On Wednesday just look on this page at the Rafflecopter form and you will see the potential winners. You can go ahead and email me your answers in the event you are one of them. Sound good?

LauraJane, forgot to answer your other question. Your mom enters in separately with her email address.

Thanks so much Leah that sounds great! :)

ilylwsbwa
laura

I just found out I'll be out of town all next week, too, starting on Saturday. May I do the same, Leah? Thanks so much for all your help :)

Sure Katie!

Girls, its the 20th so question #12 is ready for you to answer. Go find it!

On question number 4 the link sends you to a video of mrs. Rue standing by pillers outside talking about growing up but under the link it says hint faithgirz: the real you and that video is of mrs. rue in a room talking about being an Authentic unique indeviginal. witch one is the right one? I am kindof confuesed, about that and witch are the questions that we have to anser?can anyone could help me? :)

Emma, I'm assuming based on Leah's "hint" that the right video is the "authentic unique individual" one. The only questions you HAVE to answer are the ones in bold (though I'm sure Mrs. Rue would appreciate feedback in the other questions!).

Hey Leah how do you see the potential winners today??

ilylwsbwa
laura

does anyone else see some weird post above? it says it is posted to 50%... is that someone i don't know?

ilylwsbwa
laura

Everyone have fun! I won't be doing it.

Yeah, Laura, it's just a spam comment... It's happened before. Mrs. Rue usually blocks them whenever she's sees it.

thank you Katie! Can U please pray for us and everyone? We are sick!

LauraJane, not sure what you mean with your question about "potential winners" for today. I will not be selecting winners (via Rafflecopter) until Monday. Those 12 people will be our potential winners until their answers to the questions are correct. If you are asking something else let me know.

emma, you want to watch "faithgirlz: the real you" video. Only questions in bold need to be answered.

@Leah - OK SORRY I AM ON THE TEEN BLOG! But I have a question... It says to come back tomorrow for more entries on the share giveaway thing.. And I did it 3x and it is still at 7 entries. IT DOESN'T MOVE :o

I mean it doesn't really matter I guess.. But wondering if I am doing something wrong?

I looked back and it is -Share this Scavenger Hunt with Your Friends-

Yeah, I was actually wondering the same thing as Brownie Girl. :)

BrownieGirl, not sure why the number on your end is not changing. It might be because you are entering on the same entry and Rafflecopter doesn't increase the # of times if it's the same entry (a glitch that I might report). However, I see ALL of your entries on my end. I think I counted 7 of them. So it is capturing each of your daily entries for Sharing with a friend. Keep'em comin'!

@Leah -- I counted all the times I have entered for a entry (recent activity) and I counted 11+

I dont really undersant this question 9. Is there a teen novel on your list to read? Is there a review for it (Jamie seriously DEVOURES books!)?
If you are a facebook user, CTF Devourer has a page which might be of interest to you.
can some one please help me?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I send in my ancers for the contest????????

how do you answer the 20 questions?

It only has the +1 +2 option screen.

JennaT

Nevermind Sorry! I misread the rules.

JennaT

WOW!!!!! 9 minutes left! Good job, every1!

Okay! So you dont answer the 20 questions until you are picked by rafflecopter? (if you are picked!)

Contest OVER: Awesome job everyone!!!!

JennaT

Congrats everyone!!!!!!! :)

Hi girls, sorry for missing a few of the late questions. The only question for #9 is: What does CTF stand for. THEN, if you wanted: do you currently have a book for teens on your "to read" list. Search the CTF website to see if she has a review up for it.

Hold on to your answers. If you are selected as a potential winner, and you get an email from me, THEN you send in your answers at that time.

Heading over to rafflecopter to pick some winners....stay tuned!
Leah

Just clarifying, Leah - I reply to your email and include my mailing address and such, and then send you another email with my answers to the scavenger hunt as directed above, in the update?

We are waiting on a more emails to come in with answers to the hunt. If you see your friend's name on here be sure to let them know!

Nicole, instructions on what to do is in your email...did you get it from me? Check your spam.

Oh, there it is! :P Thnx!

I could not get into my email for a while. Will mine still count?

Girls! extended deadline!

Due to the fires in Colorado Springs, Leah got a little tied up with connecting with winners. Because of this we are extending the deadline for people to submit their answers. In the list of names below you will see who we are still waiting to hear from (I have heard from those names that are crossed out). If you know them go and get them movin'! New deadline is 11:59pm 7/3. New winners will be selected 7/5 for anyone who has not submitted answers to the questions.
