To understand the true significance of what I'm going to tell you, you'll need some background information.
- I never win anything.
- I love free stuff. (Who doesn't?)
- My sisters and I were recently lamenting the fact that we have no baskets. My Mom (and Mother-in-law, and other women their age) has all these baskets. She uses them for bread, chips, pretty much anything.
So there I was, mourning the fact that I had no baskets, as well as the fact that I never win anything. I was reading through some blogs and came across a giveaway. Now, I've seen giveaways on blogs before. Plenty of times. But I never enter. Well, I rarely enter. I just never feel like I even have a chance of winning.
(Side note: this lack of entering could, just possibly, have a direct impact on my never winning anything.)
This contest, however, didn't have many people entered yet. So I entered. All I had to do was comment. As many times as I wanted! And comment I did. Many times. I lost track of how many times. But I wanted to win!!
Well it just so happens that entering a contest gives you a better chance at winning! And I won! A $40 gift certificate to http://www.csnstores.com/! And this is what I bought!
I love my baskets, and I was so happy to get them this week! A big thank you to Elizabeth over at http://www.harmonysong.blogspot.com/! I still can't believe that I won!!!
