Bumblebee Products Prize Win!

I was lucky enough to win a contest earlier this month on The Bargain Shopper Lady's blog and the prize arrived yesterday. It's a box of Bumblebee Tuna and Salmon products, an apron, and a cute inkpen. I'm looking forward to trying the different tunas - Spicy Thai Chile, Sundried Tomato and Basil, and Lemon Pepper. I've never tasted seasoned tuna before. If you're looking for coupons, bargains, and ways to save money, make sure you stop by The Bargain Shopper Lady.

Wins

Winning has been slow this fall but then I haven't been entering as many contests since I started blogging and got on Facebook.  Here are the prizes I haven't posted about yet.

A DVD, Jonas Rockin’ the House from Here and There.  Thanks Pat!  This will go to my niece for Christmas.


Green products from Val’s Views, that included one-use bamboo leaf plates and ‘silverware’made from wood, and Skoy cloths, which I really like. The cloths are washable and re-useable many times.  Thanks Valerie!

Friends Like These by Danny Wallace from A Bookworm's World.  Thanks Luanne!

So Into You by Sandra Hill from Bookin’ with Bingo. Thanks Karen!  My review is here.

Provenance by Laney Salisbury & Aly Sujo from O’s Summer Reading Giveawy.  Thanks to Oprah and O magazine.

The Murder of King Tut by James Patterson from The Tome Traveler.  Thanks Carey!

Yea! I won another book!

I got an email this morning letting me know I won Nora Roberts' Going Home from http://bethsbookreviewblog.blogspot.com/ . Thanks Beth!

Last week I read Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet. It was a win from http://writemeg.wordpress.com/ . (Thanks Megan!) It had received rave reviews from every blog site it was featured on and I was excited to read it. I have to say I was disappointed in the writing style. I think it was written on a teenager's reading level which is not what I expected. The story line was okay - a lonely child has an imaginary friend, an adult male,(?) who leaves on her 9th birthday. She never forgets him and her life is never very satisfactory. She meets him again when she's 32 and the story evolves from there. The book continually switched between her telling the story and him which kept breaking it up. All and all, I was disappointed.

I love sweepstaking....

I've been entering contests and sweeps online for several years now. I've been keeping a journal and I've won something every month since January 2003 except for March 2008. The Sweeps Fairy wasn't thinking about me that month I guess. I've never won anything really big but even the small prizes get me excited. I've won backpacks and books, magazines and makeup, clothes and keychains, a boombox and beach towels, money and movies, totes and toys, watches and wallets, and jewelry and junk.
