So, I was thinking that since I enter so many giveaways and have won such amazing prizes, that I should give away something to you. I am possibly interested in having this blog be a giveaway/review site. I thought it’d be a great way to find out how this works from the blogger point of view. So, here goes. Let’s give this a try. Good luck!

Wins from 8th – 14th
If you are interested in knowing how items like these are won and would like some tips, please let me know. I’m no different than anyone else. I just enter a lot and eventually the odds will be in my favor. For all the things I win, I don’t win 95% of what I enter. However, if you have patience and a system to make things go quicker, it’s a fun hobby. Also, don’t forget that these blogs work really hard to have reviews and giveaways on their sites. I don’t always have time to read all their posts, but I do read quite a few. I enjoy learning about their lives and where each of them live. I’ve gotten a lot of good tips from them, such as making our own laundry soap and how to coupon correctly.

Internet Speeds
Why can’t you live without Internet?
What would you do with faster Internet?
Who is you current provider and why should they bring faster internet or fiber to your area?
1. I can’t live without the Internet because I spend more time on my computer than sleeping. I mean really, information at your fingertips and giveaways galore. Just can’t imagine having to do without.
2. I’d probably cuss a lot less if I had faster internet. Heh. Especially at the end of the night when I can’t get everything posted I need to before that 12AM time hits. I also love to play online games, and they’d be a lot smoother.
3. My current provider is Harris Broadband and I’d like them to bring fiber to our area. I can’t even imagine the speeds. Knowing my husband, he’d hook us up with the fastest thing they have available. To him, cost isn’t important when playing Minecraft.

Changing things a bit…
I’m going to do a weekly post for wins. I’ll plan on posting these on Monday nights. I think that it’s easier and I’ll be more likely to post like I should. 
I believe in Thanking each sponsor and every blogger. From what I can tell, most bloggers like link backs, so I figure it’s my way of showing that I appreciate their giveaways and blogs. It takes a lot of time and work to enter these giveaways. I don’t post these wins on any other forum because people get upset about the amount of winning. However, I’m not doing anything different. I follow the RULES and only enter for what we can use here at the house or for other family members who could use said item. I do a LOT of searching for blogs and I’ve got a spreadsheet with over 1000 blogs listed on it. If I only entered the ones that might be listed on a Sweeps site I’d probably never win much, not to say I don’t win on the ones listed, because I do occasionally. I just have even more luck on the ones not listed. Anyway, enough rambling, on to the good stuff. WINS! Oooers!!!

Various wins to post
Sorry, I’ve had my head stuck in a book the last couple of days. And add to days before that of feeling under the weather, I didn’t feel like posting. So, I’m going to do list a group of wins.
I was notified on 4/25/12 that I won handcrafted stationary from Ellie Soo. I’ve already received it, and it’s beautiful! I won this from Storm at Confessions of a Psychotic Housewife.
Thanks Storm! *received*
On 4/26/12 Meri, from Elfling Creations let me know I won a GC to her etsy store. Already have the cross stitch and it’s beautiful! Thanks to Meri and Aquariann at Art and Tree Chatter of Aquariann for the giveaway. Thank you, Meri! *received*
Lilac, from Pawsitive Living , let me know I won the Mobi Technologies WallMate Night Light at her blog. We’ve got several babies coming into the family in the next month or so, so I am so happy about this. Thanks, Lilac!
Kayla, from I Heart Giveaways to let me know that I won a UbiRock Portable Speaker. The hubby is going to LOVE playing with this. Thanks Kayla. *received*
Finally finally, after a month of trying to win the brownies from Gourmet gift Baskets, I won! In fact, they arrived today. Can’t wait to dig in. I won these from Stephanie over at Mammamoiselle . I love yummy wins! Thanks bunches, Stephanie! *received*
I thought the Bedol Water clock was so cool when I ran across this giveaway. So glad I entered it, because Ghada let me know I won it from Mama Goes Bam. Thanks so much Ghada!
Wilson Cookie Cutter Win
I love anything I win, and I only enter for things that I can use and/or gift to someone that will love that item. In fact, it’s the only way I can come up with items for all my nieces and nephews (I’ve got 21, and buy for 9 of them, as the rest are older and 2 younger cousins of Aarons). Anyway, I really love useful wins. Ones that will brighten up our day. Nothing brightens our day more than baking. Really. Cat and I love to bake! So, when I was notified by Vanessa at Mom’s Menu Planning that I won a set of Animal Cookie cutters, I was overjoyed. Here’s a pic of what I get from amazon’s page.
So excited to get these. Thanks Vanessa!
Hard Rock Tampa Giveaway Winner
Notified that I won a hard rock cafe robe and digital picture frame from Nicole over at Nicole’s Nickels. Hubby states “Me want bad”…so I guess he’s going to end up getting this. Can never say no to him. Ever.
Perfectly Posh Win
Today I was notified via Facebook from Arm Candy Confessions that I won a $50 GC to Perfectly Posh. Heidi from Perfectly Posh contacted me and my order has already been sent. If you haven’t tried these products, I know you’ll want to. I’ve only heard great things about them. Check out her site, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
