and the winner is....

ME!  

When did I become such a lucky duck?  

Remember when I told y'all a while back about winning that $200 gift certificate to Ann Taylor LOFT through a BlogHer giveaway on Suz Steece's blog?  (oh yes, I have definitely already spent that ENTIRE gift card by the way... it definitely didn't last long! ALL my clothes continue to come from the LOFT).....

Well, I have since then won 2 MORE blog giveaways!!!  

First, I won a $60 CSN Stores giveaway on Lyndsie's blog.  I have been following her personal blog for a while now (just this past week she announced that they are in the process of adopting a baby girl!) & then she started a giveaway blog because people were donating items for her to giveaway due to her large readership.  I enter nearly every giveaway she offers (entry is so easy, like all you have to do is leave a comment) & was notified one day that I won this giveaway!  Now the only problem is that I can't decide what to spend the $60 on... they sell such a wide range of items & I have no idea what I want to get!!! Any suggestions? (Oh, & y'all should definitely check out her blogs & enter these giveaways, there is a new one almost every day, even thought it's been less often lately since she's been busy w/ the adoption news (cute baby stuff, personalized items, etc) & you have a really good chance of winning)!  

OK, so THEN, I won a free camera strap from "Cotton Candy by Natalie" from a giveaway on Amanda's blog (I found her blog b/c she has 'Fonts for Peas' the free fonts database, AND she went to AUBURN).  I was absolutely SHOCKED when I got the email saying I won this one because I was one of thousands entered and had completely forgotten about it.  I picked out this camera strap fabric pattern (with much thought put into it) 

and absolutely LOVE IT!  Unlike some that I have seen, this isn't a camera strap COVER, it's actually a whole new strap that replaces your original one.  It is extremely well made & I had actually been wanting one for a while, so winning it was perfect!  I would definitely recommend Cotton Candy by Natalie, so go check out her Etsy shop.  Now, when my sister Natalie & I are together we won't confuse our cameras for each others!  

So, I hope my good luck hasn't run out... Maybe it's just getting started?  But I wanted to tell all of YOU about these giveaways sites too b/c winning is easy, and pretty fun! :)
