I feel the need to chime in here because I have really been pushed to the limit this week with comments and emails from readers about my giveaways. Today just topped it all off with some choice words from a LOVELY gentleman.

Let me just clear this up, IT IS NOT MY POLICY TO DEMAND THAT YOU HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAYS! I currently have 2 giveaways posted that DO require you have a Twitter account and that is because they are for a TWITTER PARTY. While I understand people being upset THINKING they can no longer enter any of my giveaways, if you had bothered to read the actual posts instead of just scrolling to the bottom to enter you would have known this. I like to think I am a nice and easy going person but there is no need to send me nasty and rude messages because of your own errors.

Thanks…

I personally left out the Salsa because I don’t like it and it was still fantastic!!
