One of the biggest surprises for me when I first joined Twitter two years ago was how many truly lovely people I met. I’ve told the story several times that I resisted joining social media as the editors in my city used it to show how fabulous they were. It came across to me as bragging and I didn’t want anything to do with that. Thankfully my friend Heather convinced me to join and I was immediately taken on how many great people are on Twitter. I met Nina Westbury (@ninawmakeup) on Twitter when she won one of my contests. She gave me the wrong address to her house twice!! I discovered the Bridgette Jones of Beauty through social media. She’s become such a dear friend. She makes me laugh so hard with her misadventures and the stories she makes up about me. My favourite was when she told everyone I insisted her son play the harp at our events. There are so many others I’ve met. It would take pages to list them all. But I’m so grateful to have met each of you.
There were so many people who shared their incredible stories below. If you get a chance, read through them. They’re heartwarming. Everyone had a great story. I drew from all entries below and Stacy Bauer from the U.S. was the winner. Big thanks to all who entered!

April 26, 2015 at 7:23 pmthe sweetest gal I’ve met on Twitter is Patty @longhorns2 – who somehow always looks way more put together than me even with her huge family and crazy schedule. Plus she’s got just the right mix of sarcasm and love….

April 26, 2015 at 7:20 pmIm @AllySaidWhat on Twitter, and the sweetest person I’ve ever met would have to be @samirehs2!

Desirae
April 26, 2015 at 7:20 pmI jnow A LOT of people on twitter but hands down the sweetest is @BPRP_MINION . She goes above and beyond to bring a smile if anyone seems even just the slightest bit sad, upset or even if t is just because it’s a random Tuesday. Always ready with a smile or a baked good ( to say nothing of GLORIOUS stories of makeup) she is honestly and truly one of the good ones and they Andre few and rend far between. She is also a writer and she shares so fully of herself and her talent that it blows me away. I and in awe of her, always.

April 26, 2015 at 2:10 pmMy friend (@chocolachocola1) is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! She’s smart, sassy and creative! She’s a beautiful person inside and out and I think that she deserves something nice. She’s always thinking of others and she is the definition of a true friend. She’s a little firecracker and is someone to aspire to be! she is my twitter bud for life 🙂 so winning this for her would be a beautiful treat. Thank you for the opportunity!

April 26, 2015 at 2:31 pmI would Love to nominate my Twitter friend @Chrissythekiid she is sweet, bubbly and ever so polite!
Sometimes when I feel like I’ve lost my sparkle her jokes , giggles and perky little messages make me smile again and they also make my world a lot brighter. We’re both shop-o-holics on a budget.
She is also very bright. loyal and ever so funny!

April 26, 2015 at 2:04 pmAside from yourself being the ABSOLUTE SWEETEST PERSON ON TWITTER DAVE(I am being serious) another young mum who I interact with and encourage to enter competitions is @AngeyC89 . She’s only in her 20’s has a young child, is a qualified nail technician but opts to stay home and look after her daughter. She adores competitions for things for her daughter but sometimes forgets about herself. I have never met her, even though she was a fellow pupil at my daughter’s school.she lives quite a distance from home now. I think she would be utterly delighted to win something.

Jennifer Braswell
April 26, 2015 at 1:11 pmBethany Wolf @ABeautyWithEdge is the absolute sweetest person on twitter. I met her through Listia and just got close from there. She introduced me to you and Nina and I have been happily following ever since. She tries to help so many people by making them feel beautiful with her blog and tweets as well as to save money for those on a budget. She’s a Wonderful mom and a hard working beautiful person and I know all this without even meeting her. She definitely deserves to win this! Good luck everyone and thank you Dave for being so awesome! @jenoah8211
