Important Giveaway News!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to take a minute to break down the rules of the giveaway that I'm going to be posting a little bit later today. After receiving many comments from you about how you follow my blog, I realized that many of my faithful readers, for one reason or another, do not follow me via Google Friend Connect. So even though this giveaway is to celebrate reaching 1,000 followers on Google Friend Connect, I certainly do not want to exclude Nouveau Cheap readers who keep on up on my blog via other methods. So here's what I'm going to do:

You won't have to be a follower of this blog via Google Friend Connect in order to enter. BUT, if you are, you will earn an additional entry.

You can earn a third entry if you follow me on Twitter and tweet about the giveaway (I'll include a tweet in the giveaway post that you can cut and paste).

All you'll need to do to enter is answer a question (which I will ask in the actual giveaway post), but if you want to earn additional entries, you'll have to show proof. Obviously if you're a follower of this blog and you enter the giveaway, I can click on your screen name to verify that you're following me, so that's easy! Just let me know you're following me.

So here's what an example entry should look like:

1) My answer to your question: XXX

2) I am a follower via Google Friend Connect

3) I follow you on Twitter and my Twitter handle is XXX. I tweeted about the giveaway

4) My email address is: XXX

If you don't follow my blog and you don't tweet, here's what your entry should look like:

1) My answer to your question: XXX

2) My email address is: XXX

And definitely do not forget to leave your email address in your comment. Your entry won't count without it!

Thanks in advance for your cooperation, and please check back in a little bit for the actual giveaway. I am so excited to share it with you--I am giddy just thinking about it! :)
