Hey Guys!
I was BLOWN away by the response to my Latest Giveaway! We had a lot of fun and a lot of great conversation. The giveaway was simple. I simply asked people to comment with something about themselves, and then respond to at least one other person in the comment thread.
There ended up being over 600 comments...
Woah you guys! I was so thrilled to see lots of great conversations pop up in the comments. On Steemit it can be hard to find people with common niche interests. Tags can often get overused and so it can be difficult to connect with those who have similar interests or life experiences.
Before doing the drawing for the winner of this giveaway - I just want to mention how awesome the winner of the last giveaway was! I ended up drawing @chasegapo's name and it's been great to get to know him!! He's definitely an up and coming Steemian and i'd highly recommend you guys check him out!
Drumroll Please...
In this Dtube video, I did a live drawing for the winner... and the winner is #phoenixwren!! She is an AWESOME Steemian and you guys should check out her page! I'll be transfering 10SBD to her shortly.
Bonus Giveaway
In the rules, I only asked people to respond to one other Steemian, but it was AWESOME to see how many people ended up connecting with lots of Steemians! One person in particular that was really great was @d00k13! He not only responded to lots of people on the post, but we had a really fun interaction too! He is an artisan baker and I asked him what kind of desserts he liked to make. He didn't just respond with an answer, he actually made an entire post showing me how to make one of his favorite desserts! How cool is that?
To say thanks for being an awesome Steemian, I'm going to send him 3 SBD!
Special Shoutouts...
I just wanted to say thanks to all of the people who really took the time to leave in depth comments and respond/connect with others!

Congratulations to the winners and thanks once to @coruscate for your kind gesture even though i am not a winner here. You have a very fine skill of acknowledging everyone and really making us see that we are appreciated. This is truly a win-win situation as far as am concerned. The connections we make and the relationships we build through your contests are something i cherish. And not to talk about the exposure no matter how small, these are really positive things for us. I await to join your next competition and hope to make new friends, get to learn a thing or two, if any few bucks come along, fine. Thanks once more

I think today I’m going to start a daily recap blog, dunno who’s going to listen to me but you have liked what I can contribute enough for me to continue trying new ideas. I have no direction so any input would be greatly appreciated from anyone.

WOW thank you so much!!! I honestly didn't expect to win, especially since I somehow can't load that page anymore - no joke! I got notifications that I was replied to a couple of times, and when I clicked to go look, my browser timed out. Like eight times, I really tried! The only thing I could guess is that it got SO many comments, and I internet on a shared hotspot, that it just wouldn't load. I felt bad because the point was to make friends and get to know everyone! And here I won anyway! I'm truly grateful, thank you!
