Feed Your Creativity~


Joy and Daisy are two of my favorite people, they feed my soul with their friendship and feed my creativity with their wonderful online store. I thought it would be fun to reward one of my blog readers with a gift certificate to eP so they, too, can feed their creativity by selecting their own merchandise, instead of me purchasing things for blog candy that they may or may not like to use.

I've been pondering for several days on how to approach today, my blogaversary. Do I post a thread and ask for comments like I have done in the past, end up with 100's and 100's of comments, and then use a random number selector program to pick the winner? Or, do I do something different and offer the prize in a new and unusual way? Now I know upward of 500 people subscribe to this blog, that number is available to me through Feedblitz, , that seems like quite a number of people and not something I expected when Beth made my banner, sent it to me, and then I started this blog. However, since I don't use a counter or a tracking system, I have no idea who actually stops by unless they leave a comment on something I've posted.

After pondering my options, this is what I have chosen to do. I'm putting all the names of the people who've commented on any upload (as of right now, Saturday, March 22, 8:13 a.m.) I have done in the past week into a basket and having my handsome and smiling son, Brett, select the winner. If you commented more than once this week, more chances for you! Thanks for a great year!

I'll be back later with the winner!

Does your count include those of us who use a Reader? I can see how many but not who reads mine by clicking my blog name in my Reader (I send to myself to see what it looks like). You may have tons more fans and not know it!
