Purple Poppy's Spring Photographer Giveaway!!

     Well, I have decided to do it again! The first giveaway was such an amazing success, how could I resist? The last giveaway being my first, I did not know how it was going to turn out. I was truly surprised by all the vendors that wanted to donate their time and creations to the new fans that had came to enter. And, with me being a 'newbie' to the whole experience, I thought I would get more no's then the yes's that I received. That did not even seem to be a problem to the vendors, it appears that vendors wanted to help even more since I was new! All the hard work and hours that I put into creating the giveaway were well worth it to meet new friends and connections through them.

    So, here is the part that you have been waiting for- The giveaway is here! I have put this giveaway together with the thought that spring is here (for some people!). I know my old home of Michigan is still seeing snow, but now that I am in Virginia spring has arrived! That is why I have decided to put these packages together. If you thought there were a lot of vendors last time, this one will blow you away : D

The Rules:

   Please follow the rules very carefully. You can be disqualified if all of the steps are not completed fully. It will be a lot of work, but so well worth it in the end! Each post counts as one entry. Specify what step you are posting about in your comment : )

1. Follow this blog. Easy!

2. At the bottom of the list of vendors will be a list of links. You must "like" or add all of the pages listed. I will check to make sure that they have been added by the winners. This is going to be the hard part because there is a whole lot of them! It is NOT required to leave some love on the pages, but please do. The vendors like to hear nice things about their work and have put time, energy, and money into this event. So, I think that leaving some love on their pages is not a lot to ask :) Please, PLEASE remember that you can get comment blocked if you go to fast. So go very, very slowly. Only add maybe 5 or 10 vendors at a time and comment. Please don't send emails to me about being blocked, as this has been a warning, lol! And, remember, it will be easier for me to see if you are a fan or a friend of a page if you comment on that page. 

3. Post a link about this giveaway on your facebook page. Make sure you tag my page when you do so. For those of you that don't know how to do that, you start type @Amber Flynn on your wall post. You will see a drop bar where you can select my page which will "tag" me in your wall post.

4. After you have finished all the steps above, come back here and comment that you have done so. Remember, I check these steps to make sure that all have been completed. When commenting that you have completed the steps, please use the same name that your facebook page is in. Last giveaway there were some anonymous comments, and comments that were not in the names of any facebook pages. If you do this, I will not be able to find your facebook page to A. check if you have done all the steps, and B. tell you that you have won!

5. Winner's must contact the vendors with their information within 24 hours! I do this because we as shop owners are very busy with our other businesses and usually are in multiple giveaway's at a time. It keeps the giveaway efficient and convenient for all the vendors.

   Now the fun part!
