Yes, just like Jackie, but if you cannot reach them, I would put an edit on my post saying I tried several ties to reach the winner and after 10 days, I have decided to pick a new name. If the first winner comes forward, I would send them a little something too.
Oh my gosh, what a quandry to be in. I guess you try as best as you can (contact via email if you have it), wait a reasonable time. . . the move on and pick another winner. Kinda takes away your pleasure from the whole process when it takes a spin like this, but life can sometimes get in the way for all of us! Me, well I'm just a happy camper after i set your blog up on RSS feeds! Now I'm always in the loop!
I think I saw an e-mail addy on one of the comments? Maybe they just missed the winner post and this new one will help? Maybe post their names again? LOL! Not much help am I? I just found your blog a few days ago and missed the give-away.
You know I had the same problem. I waited 2 weeks but no one ever e-mailed me back. So I just sent to the ones I had, but if you don't have anyone's address and you have tried to reach them I guess you just have to draw again! Goodluck!
have you emailed them or left comments at their blogsites or flickr sites? I'm sure you have. I would pick three others if they dont respond by monday!
i agree. when i do giveaways i always send an email or leave a comment on their blog. in the giveaway i did this week there were a few people who did not leave emails or blog addys so in that case (as in the past) i'll post notice on my blog that they've won and need to contact me, but a few times those people never respond. i think it's natural that sometimes people are blog surfing and stumble on something and 'enter' and then forget about it, because they may have just visited two hundred other sites. but it does make it hard when they don't leave an email at least.
well this was a long ramble but i just wanted you to know, it's not YOU, it's THEM.
I am so sorry that I am just now responding! We were gone camping and I just checked my blog and saw you left a comment. I am new to blogging and am feeling my way around. Thanks so much and I again apoligize for being tardy!
