At Hyena Cart, that is :LOL

The FIRST time you snagged something (either for you or for someone else).

Mine was last summer at the first KP stocking there. I think that was the first stocking ever at HC. I kept trying and trying to snag a medium and there were a TON of covers with three at each round, five minutes apart. I kept going for the fancy ones and then I decided to try for a simple one thinking I had a better chance. I got it and I was sooooo excited! Kai was only like a week old or something.

I still have that cover. I don't think I am going to sell it either.

I just scored my first hyenacart item a few days ago!!


It was at the Little Fishy stocking. She put up this happy turtle diaper and wool cover set.

I think she put them up a few minutes late... and so when I logged on there it was sitting! I even waited a few minutes because I have spent a lot of money on diapers in the last few months...

but now it's on its way to the mail to me!

I think it's a set I will keep for a while. I could see it being the set that I save as a keepsake for Phoenix (my DS).

Mine was at the last bottombumpers stocking when I scored for you, Kate


I had bought stuff off hyena cart before, but never something that I had to stalk for. That "congratulations, you have successfully purchased this item" screen is just so rewarding


maybe someday I'll score something for myself


I usually do pretty well at fluffymail stockings. Maybe someday they'll stock embroidered AIOs again...or I'll snag a custom AIO slot. I just want to get a special keepsake diaper for Ethan's "stuff to keep forever" box.

Well, my first score was a Celestial Baby medium fitted with pastel serging. I refreshed and refreshed those last few minutes until it said it was available. Clicked away at my mouse as fast as I could -- and Boy!! What a high when I got it!

Of course, the rest of the diapers in that stocking sat there for a few days. So, it wasn't that big of a score -- but it sure felt it to me!

The one & only time I stalked HC successfully was for the Storm in the Attic Safari set (dipe, soaker & matching tee) - which you can see in my stash pix. I had been drooling over it for a month, and luckily Ian went down for a nap half an hour before she stocked. Of course, I don't know that anyone else was going for it.

My first was the last Kiwi Pie stocking. I was SO conflicted about size (waffling between medium and large). First I tried for a medium periwinkle. Didn't get it. Then large tomato. Didn't get it. Then large orange with yellow serging. Got it. Then had buyer's remorse, because I didn't know if the size was right or if I wanted orange. THEN it came
. Perfect size. LOVE the color. Fits great over my entire stash of fitteds.

: Had to use the cute new smilie.

At Hyenacart my first score was at the last Kiwipie stocking, unfortunately the size I got was too small, so it's on it's way to another happy home. I also got a bottombumpers at her last stocking.
My best scores were the last fluffymail, fussybutt, and a Luxe set. I am officially addicted to stalking the stockings :LOL

I don't even remember to be honest :LOL

I remember my first hyena score was the MM/Baby Blmrs set on WAHMchicks and you (Kate) were brave enough to PM me about it


After petting the MM shorts I had my first real taste of hyena victory (and oh was it ever sweet) and I became a diaper junkie REAL quick after that and haven't looked back


The best score was the BBB shorts last month even though I didn't keep them. Boy was that a rush!

First time I snagged something b/c it was just sitting there or first time I snagged something when 100 other folks were trying to score also? Either way, both have been just last month!
My only score "under pressure" was the last BBB stocking. Zach is actually wearing that soaker right now.

mine was the KP stocking last October, i didn't get the one i really wanted but was so shocked when i went after a different one and saw the 'Buy it now' button and couldn't believe that I really got it. That was so exciting, I remember my heart racing and the adrenalin pumping.

Turns out that KPs didn't really work that well for us, so I've since passed them along.

My only other score was MM the other week and I
the MM soaker and don't think it will ever be passed along.

Mine was a Mosaic Moon stocking and I snagged a pair of red newborn MM longies. I was eyeing them forever and was sooo excited when I got them. But, I had to sell them when DH lost his job and I was so wanted to keep them for Lourdes' memory box.


Here is a pic of her in them. It's the LEA photo gallery. Lourdes in Iowa. . .

My 14 year old stalked for a friend of mine who was working last week when LF stocked, and I couldn't do it as it's breastfeeding/getting the babies to bed time. She got the 'buy now' button, but then it said 'this item has just been sold'. So we thought it was all over. But then Kira wrote to me and asked if I still wanted the size 2 safari nappy! My sweet girl had actually got it, but some weird error at hyena cart said she hadn't. I checked, and it was in my order history! The nappy is now on its way, and the friend who we stalked for is sooo happy! She says my daughter and I can take a peek at it before I post it on to her. And it's such an adorable nappy, the one with the giraffe and a blue border of other jungle animals! More good news is that I actually got a really good custom slot number, so my baby girls will get to try some Little Fishies of their own. And my friend who will soon be the proud owner of the size 2 safari also got a custom slot!

I think my time would come if I didn't get all nervous right before.:LOL Also, I am using a Mac Laptop with a wireless connection. I really should try upstairs on the PC that has a hardwire connection. I would LOVE to score for someone else. I have been blessed from the assistance of other mamas and feel so grateful.

It was the last Bottombumpers stocking. I was stalking for Jamie and snagged her 2 AIO's. I've *never* scored at HC before..so it was really cool! Now our connection speed went back down though so I don't suppose I'll ever score again! :LOL
