Yes I seriously did! Okay about 2 weekends ago, I was just surfin' the net, looking for some cute stuff for Elem as usual. So I went to the Robeez site and I was looking at all of the shoes they have right now. For those of you who do not know what Robeez are, check out their site: www.robeez.com. They have the BEST shoes ever for little babies. They are just a little sturdier than socks, but for sure protect your little ones feet, and they have elastic bands that go around the ankle. Which if you have a kiddo like me, they cant fit in hardly any little infant shoes, and you have to have something stretchy!
So I was on the site and looking at the shoes when I saw this contest, that was to create your own shoe! So I did it! I designed my own shoe style and chose the colors on every piece of the shoe and what not. Thinking not much about it, I went on with my business, and honestly forgot about the whole thing! I kid you not, I got a call not 5 days later from someone with their customer service, saying I was a grand prize winner for the shoe contest! ANd I remembered when I read the directions or whatever, that if you were a grandprize winner, you would get a custom pair of shoes.
I know this sounds crazy, but that is EXACTLY what I won! A custom pair of the shoes I designed for Elem! ANd they are making them as we speak. I picked the layout of the shoe like this one:
Robeez shoes almost like mine
As far as type of style. ANd then I did my own colors. the background of the shoe is in maroon, and then the stripes are in lime green. the laces are purple I think and then the top elastic part is blue! hahah! Can you believe it? I am expecting to get a pair of my custom shoes here in the next month or so in a size 12-18 months for Elem. I am soo excited! he is going to be running around in a pair of shoes that I designed on the dang Robeez site myself! Now if I would have won the Grand grand prize, I would have seen my shoe on the site, but I was just behind that person, so I think I did good! Ill get you all a pic as soon as I receive the custom made shoe! I am seriously in shock! wahoo!!
