Congratulations! I’ve emailed you all, and you have until Tuesday to send me your email addresses. After that I will have to draw new winners.
I do have to mention something that really disappointed me during these giveaways, specifically during the “The Tory Widow” giveaway. I had one person who attempted to enter 6 separate times. I don’t mean that she attempted to gain extra entries by twittering or blogging about the contest, but that she sent in 6 different comments entering the contest as if for the first time. The second and third times she entered I assumed it was just a mistake and wished she had scrolled up to look for her name. After the fourth time I deleted all but one of her entries so she didn’t unfairly get extra chances. I eventually had to completely disqualify her because, whether purposefully or not, she was depriving those who followed the rules of their equal chance to win. And of those 6 entries, only two of them even came close to answering the question necessary to enter!
The moral of the story? I read all my entries. Even if you wait a few days, I’ll probably think your name looks familiar and go back and check – especially if you don’t even follow the directions on HOW to enter!

Congrats to the winners! I hope you don’t get people who enter multiple times like that again.

I’ve had some entrants enter twice, which you can chalk up to an accident. But 6 times? That’s cheating. I think what you did was fair.

Congrats everyone! That stinks when someone tries to take advantage. There were a lot of problems this week with spamming and similar problems around the blogs. This must have been the week for that stuff.

Congrats to the winners. I sometimes get multiple entries for my giveaways as well. I delete them. I also have it in bold print to leave an email in the comments if it’s not in their profile. I often have to disqualify people for not leaving their email. LOL!

Another blogger recently had someone try to claim someone else’s win.
