FEELING LUCKY?

I do! I have been blogging for 15 months now and have won over 40 giveaways. I just love getting the gifts in the mail. Early on I would do posts every time I won something. Then as I grew and started following more people I suddenly didn't find the time. I want to apologize if anyone was hurt by me not posting what I won on their blog. I have several favorites who I have won from several times. I do have a list of each item but started just writing down the gift and not the blog I received it from. I have won at least a dozen books, note cards, cookbooks, picnic deluxe cooler, laundry detergent, earrings, coasters, postcards, pictures, lotions, cereal, mugs, coupons, books on CD and a Zibits robot just to name a few.

So I received 3 gifts while I was away so I thought I would give them some recognition. This first one was a set of greeting cards from Teresa @ Grammy Girlfriend. If you know me you know that I love mailing out cards. I became her 1000 follower between her two blogs.

This next one is from Mara @ Weighty Matters. We have been blog friends for a long time now and this package came all the way from the Netherlands! I got goodies like licorice, a tea bag holder and little Dutch wooden shoes. (my daughter is trying to claim these from me) Got some interesting post cards, toast sprinkles, a bar of soap, a cheese slicer, umbrella and a sweet note included. I love it all. Thank you Mara. {{HUG}}

After this the post is a mess. I just could not get this stuff to line up

This I won from Trisha @ Looking for Blue Sky. Aren't they just the cutest notes!

This I won from Kat @ Reviews from the Heart. I have won several books from her. You should head on over and enter her book giveaways. This one just arrived yesterday , I can't wait to read it!

I won this books from Alexis @ Running Away? I'll Help You Pack. I think I have won the most contests from her. This one is also in the mail. You should go over and enter some, you can't win if you don't enter.


Also I have won several giveaways from Blueviolet @ A nut in a Nutshell so you should check her blog out also.

My friend Brandy@ You Don't Know has giveaways each weekend.

Contests do take time and I don't enter as many as I use to but generally it's the first contest that is the hardest. After that they get to be pretty easy.

Here are a few posts I did in the past #1 and #2 , these will give you the names of others that I have entered and not listed in this post.

P.S. I know that there are people I have left off this list. If you frequently have giveaways on your blog and I have won one of your contests please let me know so I can add you to the list. (I am 58 and the memory, which was never good to begin with, has left me blank) That is what I get for following to many blogs. Sorry :) I know the smile helps! Want a ~hug~ too!
