My Givewaways Aren't for Scavengers

"For every lock, there's a locksmith" I always say, and I'm becoming increasingly annoyed at the fact that there are bottom feeders who turn a sweet incentive for true enthusiasts into a circus for scavengers.

I'm watching my blog stats and I'm capable of seeing where folks come from and how they get here. I'm noticing a deluge of folks coming from a particular site (redhotsweeps.com) that is strictly dedicated to post Giveaways for said bottom feeders.

I'm an artist who wants to give back to her supporters as a thank you and now you've turn this into form of entertainment where you also have 'Bragging Corner' & 'Member Brag Pages'. How Nice.

My Web site & blog is dedicated to and specifically for enthusiasts of my artwork. I don't punch a clock for 'the man' which translates to: I work hard every day (and I mean every day) on my designs and products to make them gorgeous for my collectors. While I've been inspired by larger companies who host giveaways for their customers I must say, giveaways are simply expensive for me.

Please be kind.
I don't have time to devise a better strategy to keep vultures from picking at my time. Larger companies hire people specifically to keep the gates locked, I do not.

All entries received from redhotsweeps.com or any other similar site will be ineligible for the giveaway.

Please take my Giveaway entries off your forum.

PS. I'm sorry I had to get ugly in front of my genuine supporters. Thank you so much for your warmth and graciousness.
