2013!!! Another year older, another year wiser. I know I'm older, I don't know about wiser. I'd like to think so.
Are you lucky? By that I mean do you win things often? Do you win at all? I'm usually closer to the unlucky side of the scale. One of my sons however is very lucky. He used to win stuff all the time. It started when he was, oh I don't know, about 7 or 8. He won a bicycle from Wendy's. That's the biggest prize he has won, the rest have been small nicknack things.
Well, last year was a good year for me to be lucky. In the middle of my blog surfing, I was finding so many things to enter to win. Don't get me wrong. I lost most of the time, but I won way more than I ever expected to win. I thought I would show you some of my prizes. I wish I had taken pictures as I received each item, but I didn't realize that I might do a post about it. Duh, stoopy me.

$10.00 to spend at

here. I chose the pink twine and large manila gift tags.

A handmade broach from Melanie of
Bear Rabbit Bear and a $10.00 Michael's gift card from Heather of

Very pretty!

A $10.00 gift certificate from Honey of
Honeys Quilling, to be used at her etsy shop,
Honey's Hive. I chose a pair of Purple Rose Cabochon Earrings. They were on sale at half price...lucky me! And just in time to give them to my daughter for her birthday. She loved them.
I couldn't find a picture of the purple ones.

A $50.00 credit to be used at
