My Contests are ALWAYS going to have the rules posted and will always be clearly spelled out each time. Contests that are run solely by myself, IE the winner has their choice of a book I mail or a book I buy, will always say whether or not the entrants are to be Followers, US only or US and Canada and or International if purchased from The Book Depository and shipped to the winner by myself. If REQUIRED to be a Blog Follower, let me just say that I do check each and every entrant and if you do not show up on any of my lists you will be pulled from the contest entries and the comment will be DELETED. If you THINK you are a follower and you have a profile for blogger and the name Housewife Blues and Chihuahua Stories does not show up on your blog roll of that profile than you are not a GFC confirmed site follower. The same goes for Google Buzz, Twitter or Facebook Network Blogs Follower there is a listing on each one of my Folllowers and if your name is not there you are NOT FOLLOWING ME. I also REQUIRE a valid email as do not wish to track the winners down, no EMAIL in entry comment than NO ENTRY EITHER....
I am sorry if these rules sound harsh but they are for everyone's benefit not just mine, it makes it easier to be clear up front rather than hassle and cause anyone to be upset later...
ALL WINNERS of ALL contest/giveaways will be drawn by RANDOM.ORG, contacted and confirmed before being posted on the blog no later than 48-72 hours after the contest is officially closed.... WINNERS must respond with their personal information for delivery of prize within 48 hours or a new winner will be drawn and contacted....
