My blog comp./giveaway rules clearly states that you MUST be a subscriber of my blog (which is the going rule for ALL blog comps./giveaways I have seen, so I have adapted that etiquette on mine). IF she had subbed, then yes without question of a doubt I would have accepted her entry, but she had nothing. Her blogger account was set up today, and on my stats, where I can see what keywords lead people to my blog, ''free nail polish giveaway'' came up today. Now I am not accusing her of putting that into goggle, but it's abit of a coincidence. If she's genuine, then I apologise, but I somehow don't think she is, informing me of her new shoes she got today, and she desperately needs nail polish to match them! {I'll let you make your own conclusion from that}.
It's the first time I have done a giveaway, it's not a big one, but more of a thank you to the lovely people who have subscribed to my fairly new, up and coming blog. It's not brilliant, like some I have come across, but I am enjoying what I am doing and I hope people enjoy what I write about on a daily basis. That is why I decided to do a giveaway for the lovely genuine subscribers; it's not fair if someone who is out to get something for free, without showing any contribution to my blog, enters a giveaway and wins.
I really hope I don't sound snooty like some established bloggers I have come across lately, but I am only trying my best to make it fair to genuine people. AND I will never forget TSR, as it is this thread that has helped me along this journey
