Winners.
That's right. I said winners. Plural. I mean, what else could I do with 190 comments?
190 comments?! Wow! This was the best soup party yet!
I have to apologize if I have not left a comment on your soup. Yet. I got bogged down in some major deadlines this week and I still have about 40+ more to go. I promise that I will get there to sample your soup! Keep a little bit of leftovers just for me!
I am a busy bee making more of my 'simple truths' pendants right now and since that is what I am giving away to not one... not two... but THREE lucky winners, this is a great time to choose!
The rules were that you had to leave a comment, any comment on the post. AND you also had to have some way for me to get in touch with you directly. I found it a bit disheartening to find that there are scads of soup-ers out there how do not have their email visible in their profile, or didn't bother to leave their email in the comments.
That makes me so very sad.
You see, I love to respond to each and every comment that is made on my blog. {Okay, I don't always respond to EVERY comment. And I am still going back and re-reading certain comments from certain posts that were very personal for me. But I really do try.} I love it when I get a comment and it has the email turned on so that all I need to do is hit reply and we can keep the conversation going. It feels like maybe we are friends sharing a chat over our favorite beverage.
But if you don't have that turned on in your profile? Then you likely are not getting many comments back.
So... if you left a comment on my Bead Soup post from last week, and you did NOT get a reply from me, it is likely that you don't have a way for me to find you. {And unfortunately, that means that you were out of the running of the swag...}
:-(
{Never fear if you were in that group! Read on for a redemption!}
It is a simple thing, really. And I want you to know that I have never experienced spam because of it, so don't let that stop you.
Just go to your dashboard, and next to your pretty picture select "Edit Profile." From there you need to check that box next to "Show My Email Address." Your email address on file will be below. You can even change your email address for replies if that is not the one that you log in with. Don't forget to click save! Easy-peasy and sweet as pie you will start getting comments.
;-)
[NOTE: I found a tutorial on another blog that will show you step by step if you just can't picture it from my description because I lack the ability to take a good screen shot. Click here.]
I encourage you to give it a try. I have yet to meet a blogger that doesn't like to get comments. This little check box will make it easy for the party to continue!
Okay. I am stepping off my soap box. On to the winners!

But wait! Time for a redemption! If you were one of the unfortunate few who was an unwitting No-Reply sort of blogger, I encourage you to turn that email on and then leave me a comment on this post letting me know that you did, (to which I will reply, of course! ;-). I want to hear from you (yes, you... and you... and you!). I will select ONE MORE WINNER of a 'simple truths' pendant from all former Non-Repliers pulled at random on Monday, March 7th!
Enjoy the day!
