AWESOME GIVEAWAY TIME!
I thought it was about time that I held another giveaway to say thank you for being so !!!!!!!g great over the past 4 years. You guys are the best readers, constantly leaving insightful comments and inspiring me to do better. If I could send a !!!! ton of cool stuff to all of you, I would. Alas, I'm really broke so I'm just contributing 1 X WRECK THIS JOURNAL and some other little treats too. However, luckily enough for you, I managed to get the lovely Dom & Ink and Huck And Pucker involved and they've given me a copy of MAP MY HEART and some other sweet journals to give away too! SWAG, or whatever the kids say these days. Unfortunately, this giveaway is only open to UK residents because I can't afford excessive postage. I'm sorry! If you've arrived here from some !!!!!! giveaway forum, please don't enter. All genuine readers have to do to enter is fill out the following Rafflecopter form:

Not quite sure what to make out about being excluded :(

    Does any one else?

    I'd prefer this but it opens a whole can of worms with the self promotion brigade sadly
  • I don't enter blog comps except on blogs I actually regularly read. Not worth the potential hassle imo for what are usually small prizes.

  • This irks me sometimes (although not for long).

    I'm not a big fan of Rafflecopters so tend to avoid, but i still look. If it's a cool prize and a good blog i'll enter. I've become a follower of some blogs and i genuinely read them, but don't comment.

    This site has given me a link and i have followed a blog, a blog which i would never of stumbled upon otherwise if it wasn't for this site and i will go back and continue to read said blog.
    Surely that's what these bloggers want right? Publicity, Traffic and Readers of their blogs? Otherwise what's the point?
