What a weekend! A winner came for a visit and I actually won something! Can you beat that for a great time?
Here's my winner!
My grandson Adam flew across the country to visit with his Florida family and we couldn't be more excited.
So excited that he deserves his own post which will come a little later.
So on to the winning!
Never in my life have I considered myself lucky when it comes to contests. Then I watched the movie The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio and changed my opinion of winning contests. Just enter, cause if you don't, you sure won't win.
So I now enter all blog contests and give a ways and I've won a few. Recently I won three in a short period of time.
I didn't exactly win a subscription to Blue Mountain Cards but was asked to review their site after commenting on a review from Chatty Crone's site. I agreed and have used their ecard site to send a birthday ecard and am sending a Father's Day card to my husband. It's a great site with lots of ecards. I especially love the interactive cards. Go on over and try them out! You won't be sorry.
Next I won a bottle of homemade maple syrup from Mrs. 4444. Oh, man, that is some good syrup. I had my grandson try some out on pancakes this week and he really loved that syrup!
He won't be happy with me for posting this picture. But the bottle in front of his plate is holding the homemade maple syrup and it is delicious! Thanks Mrs. 4444! Oh, and please keep it quiet that I actually cooked breakfast.......I have a reputation for serving cereal and pop tarts to uphold!
I also won a dress! Yes a great dress that I won on Blissitydoodah!
This gorgeous dress is from Shabby Apple. I really love it and am sorry that I'm not modeling it for you, but it's a little too small. I actually put it on with the help of the Superhero and he took some pictures, but......I decided that you might like it better hanging here!
Below is one of my favorite parts of the dress.
