Please Follow The Rules! PLEASE READ


Just a friendly reminder to please read and follow the rules for each giveaway. They may vary from one to another depending on the sponsor so its important to actually read before you just start adding comments.  I updated my rules several weeks ago changing the additional entries for entering my other giveaways and limiting it to one extra no matter how many you enter.  I did this because I just have too many running at one time and it makes it harder on me to pick the winners. Many people are still putting in multiple entries. If you have done this, only the first one will be counted when I close out the giveaway.

Also, please PLEASE make sure you either have your email accessible in your profile or put it in  EVERY comment.  If I choose a number that doesn't have this info, I will have to pick another winner.  A few times now I had to track down the first entry to find the email address. I won't do that anymore. If its not in the entry chosen as the winner, another number will be chosen.   And lastly, please make sure you follow the initial entry. Anyone who just says things like "I want to win" or "Pick me" will not be considered.  I hate to sound mean, but with a new baby, my time is limited and I can't waste it spending hours picking winners because people can't follow the rules.  Since the majority of you are moms, I'm sure you understand.

Thanks for taking the time to read this:)

Gabby, I all too understand. Although I don't have my own blog yet with giveaways...I see people putting in entries that don't comply and I also see other frustrated bloggers stating just the same you have. I try my best to carfully follow all the rules, it's the least we can do for yours and your sponsors' generousity. Thanks for the clarification.
