A Cowboy’s Wife

I don’t like putting “giveaway” in the title of my posts so I won’t be doing it anymore. To be honest, it kinda hurts to get so many comments and such on giveaway posts and NOT on a regular post. So I fee like this. If you are taking the time to read my post, then you will have a better chance of reaping the rewards because any and all future giveaways will ONLY be mentioned at the bottom of the post. This is to show some love to my loyal readers. So if you don’t read, you won’t ever know what’s going on;)

Entering the giveaways.

Most of my giveaways require one entry that involves leave a comment based on a question I ask.  I almost always offer additional entries to help give you more chances to win.  Each additional entry is always optional and EACH ONE MUST BE LEFT IN A SEPARATE comment to count.  That is very important.

Drawing of winners.

98% of the time, I turn to my twitterers to randomly draw a winner instead of the randomgenerator website.  It’s  fact that most of the  time, the number chosen will be on the higher end of the scale.  By using the twitter peeps, I eliminate that chance some.  I will, out of the blue, ask the twitter folks to give me a number between this and this. I take the first one who responds.  I never tell them for what giveaway or anything.  They love to help me choose a winner and I love having them help!

Announcement of winners.

I don’t like to devote posts to winners nor do I like to mention it in myposts. It has to do with keeping my blog all niche related…just don’t want that extra clutter;) SO, from now on, if you are a winner, I will email you-contact you via blog-and/or twitter to let you know that you have won a prize. You will be given 2 days to contact me to claim. If you do not contact me within those 2 days of the timestamp (of how I contact you), then you forfeit winnings and a new prize winner will be chosen. This is for 2 reasons. One–I can’t keep up with a million giveaways, winners, etc for weeks on end. Two–the prize sponsors don’t like waiting, flat and simple. So, add lori at thecowboyshack dot com to your address book because this is where the email will come from!
