Happy Last Win it Wednesday Giveaway Linky Day. Yup, you read that correctly, today, this week, is the last Win it Wednesday Giveaway Linky. I have been hosting this linky for years but it has run its course. I spend more time dealing with bloggers and virtual assistants who can’t follow the simple rules than I do writing the post each week. I’m tired of it.
Each week I’ve been having to delete and blog people who add non-giveaway posts, crafts, DIYs, recipes etc. Then there are the people who add 10+ links! The rules clearly state 3 links max. Yes, I am a true Enneagram One who is a strict Rule Follower in most things and I get very frustrated when people don’t follow the rules. The rules are there to ensure a level playing field for everyone. I know not everyone agrees with my rules but…my blog, my rules.
Thank you to each and every one of you who have been a part of this linky over the last several years. I appreciate your support along the way and I hope it brought more eyes onto your giveaways and your blogs.
