    Default I've been winning!

    I never win anything! but, twice in the past couple of months I have won blog contests. It was very exciting when I won the first one (a gift basket from kraft), but after more than a month it hadn't shown up I figured I was out of luck. Well it came yesterday! Just as I had been lamenting the lack of snack food around here. here is what was in it.

    graham crackers
    ritz crackers
    wheat thins
    stuffing
    mac n cheese
    a spoon
    baking chocolate
    marshmallows
    oreos
    pecans
    peanuts
    a garlic peeler? very odd LOL
    ranch dressing

    then I won a brownie giveaway last week, but I haven't gotten it yet and can't remember what was in it. I just always enter blog giveaways if I see them - have for the past 2 years. Finally LOL I have won something.

    So, has anyone else won anything lately? I have to say it made my day both times.

    Congratulations! Feels good to win!
    The last thing I won was $100. Before that I won my laptop, so I'm not going to gripe if I don't win for awhile. Hopefully my luck is changing.

    I won one of the Nestle blog giveaways, and can't wait to get spending! lol Also a few books, but I think that's it for this year so far.
