i LOVE freebies!!

So, I NEVER win anything. I am sure most people say that. And I can sympathize. I did not inherit my Grandmother's luck. If there was a contest or a giveaway within 5 feet of her, she won it. 

So last week when I entered the contest on Elizabeth Dillow's blog, I pretty much thought it would go like all the other contests I have entered....a no win for me. No big deal. Except that this time I WON!!! I was shocked to see my name the following day - April 29th. And, she was giving away a choice of three prizes - I picked the stamp set, thinking, the other two winners would probably want that too. The other prizes were cute, and I would be happy with them as well. Today, I got my package - it was the stamp set!! She also sent a special Simple Scrapbooks issue, and a $5 off coupon for a class at Big Picture Scrapbooking.

Seriously, I know that this is not all that interesting to most of you - but it is VERY COOL to me. I am a lucky girl in many ways  - I am healthy, have the love of a good man, two smart and sassy daughters, a wonderful family and a good life....but now I can say I actually WON something.

Yea for ME!!

Allison,

You have the ability to make me cry very often with your comments and feelings that come directly from your heart. Don't worry, it is a "happy cry".
