I’ve been mulling over the candy issue again (too much time on my hands haha) and was going to select a name from the comments left this week as the candy winner but then got to thinking ….. I don’t want people to feel they have to leave a comment else they won’t stand a chance of winning, I have seen blogs that do this and sorry it’s not for me. You leave a comment because you want to, not because you have to. You follow my blog because you want to, not because you have to. Yes it’s lovely to read all your fab comments, no denying that but not all my followers have English as their first language and may not be comfortable leaving a comment. There is also the time factor, some do not have time to leave a comment, hey I’m fine with that and also guilty of that!
Sooooo I am leaving it as it has always been, entry via linky. I am also going to put in the option to delete your link should you inadvertently enter more than once. This option will be removed once the candy has closed so no more changes can be made once the winner has been drawn.
And this week up for grabs is a Sarah Kay stamp and a Belles ‘n Whistles stamp.
OOOOOOOOOO? I am first!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in - lovely idea and really thoughtful for those whose first language isn't English.

When I look through the comments, it has all been said by someone else. It can be very difficult to think of saying the same thing in a different way. So for the record I think all your work is amazing, I look every day, you give me inspiration! Thank you for taking the time to do your draws, and to all that enter, put in your details.... Once... Check back later, it never fails, there can be up to 20 or more people doing the same at the same time! Give Bev a break she does not need all the aggro! XxjuliexX
ReplyDeleteBev...I do too visit your blog every day but sometimes blogger plays up too and I don't always leave a comment however it's your candy and up to you how you give it away.
ReplyDeletefabby candy...keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the chance to win, Sweetie!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to enter for the candy, and a great idea for those whose first language isn't English, using the linky.

ReplyDeleteBev, thank you so much for persisiting with the blog candy, even thought sometimes it seems more effort than what it is worth. We do appreciate it, Have a great weekend. hugs, Ursula
Hi Bev. Thanks for offering more gorgeous stamps as candy.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the duplicating of entries, it is possible that they haven't realised they have added themselves a second time? I have found that sometimes when I have entered a challenge that my card's image isn't showing even though the link is there. Refeshing the page often cures it, but not always! Just wondered if this might account for a few multiple entries.
Tine :)
I for one love your cards Bev - i also enjoy reading what you write when i have the time - i am glad that i am being given the option to choose wether or not i comment without feeling bad about it - thanks for that Bev - you're a star-kym xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stamps Bev. I think we all would love to comment on every blog we visit but we all know it would be impossible. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteTake care
Hugs Sharon. x
Looks like you've found a solution. However, I think "thank-you" translates pretty well in just about any language. Thank-you so much for the chance to win!
