Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Checking my e-mail and the mailbox has been quite fun lately. I should probably go play the lottery with the luck I've had. Over the last few weeks I've won several giveaways. It's been a fun few weeks and I thought it would be fun to share. I was one of those that "never won anything" which made it more surprising and fun. The last of my winnings came in the mail yesterday and I remembered this post sitting unfinished. I'm still busy having fun with company. :)

I'm pretty sure that this was the giveaway that got my winning streak going.Krystal @ Sassy Sanctuary hit 500 followers and had a giveaway to celebrate and I won these fun social networking themed magnets. Cute right? For now they hang out on my fridge but when I have a dedicated working space they'll be moved.



Some days later I won this custom number art from Kimmi @ Sugar and Dots when she had a random good mood giveaway on facebook. I've seen a handful of good mood giveaways from her on facebook so you may want to go 'like' her page, maybe you'll catch her in a good mood and be a lucky winner too! The numbers represent important dates for our family. The date my husband joined the Army {and our lives were forever changed}, our childrens' birthdays and our anniversary. She e-mailed me the file and I printed and framed it. Then I got a better idea and will be sharing that soon.



Then I won this beauty. I haven't really talked about cloth diapers yet have I? Well, cat's out of the bag now! My baby wears cloth diapers and I wash them and we both like it. ;) Brianna @ NiteOwl Dipes had a FFS {free for shipping} drawing and I won so I got to choose the fabric(s) for a diaper and this is it. I'm pretty sure Delilah will be wearing this pretty thing for her birthday party. And yes, I am totally serious about a specific diaper for her birthday party.

While browsing blogs at a linky party one week I entered a giveaway that Nicole @ Scrap Me Baby had at the end of a post showing a wall gallery in her craft room. A week or so later I was drooling over the tour of her craft room. It was a surprise giveaway which made it more exciting because I love surprises and isn't this clipboard cute? Almost too cute to put to use. Almost. ;) It will be well used for sure.


Block Party--The Modern Quilting Bee: The Journey of 12 Women, 1 Blog, & 12 Improvisational Projects

During the Sew Mama Sew days of giveaway madness I entered some giveaways but couldn't get through the list, did you see the hundreds of giveaways? Holy cow, I just didn't have it in me. I didn't win any of those giveaways but the same week Crafty Girls Workshop had a giveaway on their facebook page where I won this quilting book. I have looked through it and drooled over some quilts. I have two charm packs that I bought for a steel that I can't wait to use and make a throw for our living room.

Sometime after {or before?} that I entered a giveaway at Simple Simon & Co. They had a series of guest posts with vintage fabrics and notions going on and I won the extra vintage pack they had. Aren't those some pretty fabrics? The largest is a fat quarter, next three are just shy and the two smaller ones are about 8x10. Plus the bias tape and vintage buttons. I'm still debating what to make with it but think I have it figured out. You'll see more about this soon.

And. As if all of that wasn't enough. I entered a giveaway at See Kate Sew, another favorite sewing blog I read, and won a gift certificate to Twill Tape. I had $30 worth of goodies to choose from. I ended up getting a half yard bundle of these pretty fabrics and paying the difference. She shipped so quickly and the fabrics are beautiful. I want to order some of the pretty bias tape from her too.


Independence Brilla

Just when I thought my 'luck' may have been running out I won this Independence Brilla from Evy's Tree. It's over the top with ruffles, and my husband thinks a little obnoxious, but I love it.

Whew, that's a lot of win. I'm so thankful and excited about it all that I have been thinking of hosting another giveaway here soon. I'm not sure what it would be yet but maybe I'll keep it a surprise anyway. ;)

Thanks for visiting!
