The Loot!

I'm not usually one to win anything. In fact, the only time I remember winning anything was at my Senior Graduation Party. We had our party in the bowling alley. All through the night they had raffles and drawings going on to win various different things.



The top prize was $500 cash. The second prize to the top was $250 cash. The other prizes were things like boom boxes (some of you young'uns probably don't know what those are ;) ), gift cards and stuff like that. I remember sitting there chatting with my fellow cheerleader and girlfriend, Tami, and we were both commiserating how neither of us win anything - so we let go of any hopes of it!



Wouldn't you know it, just a minute later - they drew my name for the $250 cash prize and hers for the $500 cash prize. My money went towards a down payment on my first car (a 1972 Toyota Celica - woohoo!). I don't know what Tami spent her $ on.

Rilyn, our loot and me!

So all of that to say, that I don't usually win stuff! But I recently did win the "grand" prize on my cute blogging friend, Mary's blog. I won make-up, card/scrapbooking making stuff, a cute polk-a-dotted notebook, sharpies (who doesn't love sharpies?), nail polish, some fat quarters, and a whole boat load of stuff! (She had some "smaller" contests and then one person could win everything from all the smaller contests - and that was me!)



It arrived today when I was at my daughter's volleyball game. Alyssa called me on my cell phone to tell me there was a big box at the door with my name on it! It was cute how she got so excited for me. After I got home, my 3 girls helped me open it up.



We cannot wait to put this stuff to good use!! Thanks Mary!!!
