Every once in a while I have a decent streak of luck going on. In this past year I’ve won a few online contests. The best, of course, was the $500 K-mart gift card I won from JuliaRoy.com right before Christmas last year. IZEA (the organizer of the contest; K-mart was the sponsor) was even kind enough to FedEx it to my doorstep the afternoon of December 24th. So yes, I happily hit up K-mart on Christmas Eve for $456 worth of last-minute Christmas goodies!
Then, a few weeks later, I won a Sterling Pear ornament storage chest from Blessed Nest Perch.
Last month I won a copy of Po Bronson’s and Ashley Merryman’s NurtureShock from Joana.
And this morning I was notified that I won a Nielsen-Massey Vanillas cookbook from Pajama Mommy. Sweet!
Now I just need to win some Playmobil toys. They’re a little pricey, hence why I’d rather win them than buy them.
I want nice toys under the Christmas tree for the kidlets. Dan and I have a few things put aside so far, including a Photokinz Tiger and Hello Kitty digital camera for Alyssa, and a Bugsby for Ryan. Yes, just one thing for Ryan so far. But he’s so difficult! He’s been showing a lot of interest in wooden puzzles and Megabloks, but seriously, how many puzzles and legos can you get for a kid?


Wow,you were too lucky winning a lot of online contest.I don’t have that much luck in winning prizes online.
