Hello Friends!
Last week I celebrated two big milestones - hitting 2,000 followers and hitting 65 reputation. I decided to throw a party and throw around SBD like it was confetti!!
There were two parts to my giveaway...
First - I gave 5 SBD each to a select group of people I wanted to thank. I thanked my 2,000th follower, my top 5 supporters, my boyfriend for introducing me to the platform, and my most loyal commenter with 5 SBD each.
Second - I asked people to tag one of their favorite Steemains to "bring them to the party" and tell them why they appreciated them so much. I said I would pick my FIVE favorite comments and send them each 5 SBD! Man you guys made it hard on me... there were so many awesome comments of people celebrating other Steemians!
Who's winning SBD?
Ok, so I wasn't totally clear on whether I would give the 5 SBD to the person who wrote the comment... or to the person who was awesome enough to be nominated. There was a bit of confusion on that so I decided to do the right thing.
I'm DOUBLING the SBD I'm giving away from the contest.
I decided to send 5 SBD to both the person who wrote the comment, and to the person that was nominated. I was going to give away 25 SBD tonight... and now i'm giving out 50! BOOM! Honestly, it's the least I can do to thank all of you for investing in me every day. :)
Drumroll Please...
In the video, I talk through each winner and why I loved their comment so much. Here are the winners!
nominated
- I LOVED that she mentioned
always leaves such great comments and provides really sincere contributions to anything she touches here on Steemit. You guys know how much I love great comments and meaningful conversations - so this really hit home for me!
nominated
- In her comment she mentioned that even though they live thousands of miles apart, they just get each other. I LOVED this because isn't that what this platform is all about?? Connecting with people from all over the world? ALSO, they have met in person! When
was traveling through Europe - they met in person. How cool is that?
nominated
- Guess what?
came to Steemit because
talked about Steemit on his popular YouTube channel. Ummmm... that's amazing and I LOVED this story! It just shows how Steemit is spreading it's wings and getting more exposure in different channels!
nominated
- They are both super talented photographers and bonded on their common passion - even though they live in different parts of the world! I love that
is going out of his way to find fellow photographers and support them here on the platform. To me... that's the definition of an awesome Steemian!
nominated
- Ok you guys... I freaking LOVE
... she posts tons of great content from healthy food recipes to fun music videos with her kids! She actually just posted one of her original songs on Dsound yesterday... and I would highly recommend you guys check it out. It had so much beautiful, raw emotion.
OK... back to the comment! What I loved about this nomination is that they live in a similar geographic region andinvited her to a local meetup and really took the time to give her advice and help her out! How cool is that?? I love that one of our top Steemians is taking the time to meetup with and mentor people in her local area. I seriously love them both!
THANK YOU to everyone who gave accolades to their favorite Steemians in this contest! I loved reading through all of your comments and this was honestly a really hard decision! Once this post goes live - i'll be sending 5 SBD to each of the 10 people above!
Love you guys!
xo, Lea
