Today I read that one of my favorite giveaway sites – Bloggy Giveaways is closing up shop. And I for one, will miss it. I am sure thousands of readers will miss it as well.

It started out as a site that reviewed and posted sites that had great products to be given away,  as well as inviting visitors to check them out – by Shannon from Rocks in my dryer, and then Melanie at Don’t Try This at Home. One of their claims to fame has been the quarterly bloggy giveaways – or carnivals – that so many bloggers got to participate in.

It’s not just the giving away of a prize that’s so important, it’s the number of new people you got to meet, comments read by so many from all walks of life, and stories happy and sad that sometimes brought a tear to the eye.

Gals you will be missed – at least from Bloggy Giveaways.

As for me, I continue to read your posts on your personal blogs and laugh and weep with you!
