I've been so unlucky lately that I almost missed the "Congratulations" that I won a $100 Land's End giftcard last night!! Happy Holidays!!

It's been a lean time, but September has brought a Vanilla Joy Jar Candle from J&J Right at Home and a surprise package yesterday from Martha Stewart Daily Living with a four-piece office wall manager set. Even in slow times, you have to keep plugging along! At least it's been fun to...

I received a $50 SpaFinder GC from Real Simple Estee Lauder Supercharged Solutions today. Not only will it supercharge me with a massage...it will charge me up to keep sweeping after a very long drought. (Two movie tickets in the last 5 1/2 months--I was getting kind of down...) Always the...

I won two tickets to Great America from My Coke Rewards Instant Win--my boys are thrilled! (They are the roller coaster/ride fiends! I'm giving them the tickets.) Good luck to all!

I haven't had much luck lately, other than some candy and a Better Homes and Gardens subscription...so I headed out of town for my first vacation in 12 years. On the cruise ship, I won a $75 credit for spa services! I put it toward the best massage ever (expensive, but worth it!) When I got...

"Cheesy" Win! I love coming home from work to find a letter like this one: "Congratulations! On behalf of the Cheeses of France Marketing Council, it is our pleasure to announce that you are a winner in the Cheeses of France 'Perfect Dinner for Two' Sweepstakes." Enclosed was a $250 giftcard...

I haven't been sweeping much lately with both my father-in-law and sister-in-law in serious conditions in two separate hospitals. Today after his funeral, I finally sat down at the computer in a somewhat dazed state and started to do some instants. Imagine my surprise when the "Congrats" popped...

...since I just received "The King's Speech" DVD from Video Detective! I loved that movie, and now I can share it with my family and friends! It's been a dry spell, so it was doubly exciting to come home to a surprise win!

Wow--I really kicked that virtual can!! First win of the New Year--I'm glad I got it in before February!! It's been kind of slow lately for all of us, so keep posting those wins for encouragement!

I just got an e-mail letting me know I won skyn Iceland Arctic Brightening Serum ($65) from Lucky Magazine's September sweeps. There should be 300 other winners out there!! I can certainly use some brightening of my poor old skin :sunny:. Thanks to skyn Iceland, Lucky, and SA!

It's been a while, and discouragement starts to set in...but God has a sense of humor! Tonight I won TWO instants--a bag of Halls cough drops (with the caroling season coming up, it will be well used!) and a $15 Best Buy gift card from My Coke Rewards (and with three boys in their 20s I spend a...

What a way to end my birthday!! Dinner with my three boys, a night of karaoke, and then a four-pack of tickets to Six Flags Great America from Coke!! Looks like the party will go on... :headbang:

:wave: Things really do come in waves. Over the last couple of days I have received my Red Bull shirt from Dave and Busters, a "When in Rome" DVD from a local radio station, Panko Japanese bread crumbs from Kikkoman, and the best for last--an amazing collection of make-up from Estee Lauder (5...

This is just too fabulous--last week I won a sapphire and diamond ring from jewelry.com, and today I won a pair of diamond studs (ARV $395) to go with it from the Jewelry Council Surveys! Talk about a sparkling week!! I am SO excited!!

Yea! After a very loooooooooong dry spell, I got an e-mail today from Jewelry.com that I won the sapphire ring on the May 27 drawing! Definitely worth the wait!! I'm so excited--I absolutely love jewelry (both getting it and making it!) Thanks for all the opportunities and the encouragement, SA...
