I am blog obsessed! Jan to Feb

I used to only do national sweepstakes and instant wins. While I didn't win anything big I always felt lucky when I randomly won a pair of movie tickets or a gift card. One day in mid January I finished my sweepstakes entering early and decided, I'd give blogging a try. I really didn't know what I was doing and ending up opening a twitter account. Definitely had no clue how to even create a blog site. I decided to give it 2 weeks and if nothing happened, I would move on.

So what happened? You guessed it, at the end of those two weeks, I had won 3 blog giveaways- definitely a better rate than the other games I was playing and now 3 months later I am OBSESSED with blogs. I never realized how many giveaway blog sites there were and how each site has so many great giveaways.

So this post is to all the great blog sites who have made my day each time I got one of those winning emails. The work put into each site-- the reviews, pictures, graphics, communication with sponsors is very appreciated by me and all the equally obsessed readers out there!

January Wins!

1/21 Abigail Reynold's Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy: The Last Man in the World My first win from Books Like Breathing! I love books especially anything related to Jane Austen's books.

1/27 Jane Doiron's Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms won at Closet of Treasures. I'm not much of a cook and if I am going to cook I want quick, easy recipes. This cookbook was just the thing to win!

1/28 EA Sports Active Wii game won at Kindred Spirit Mommy. I just got a Wii for Christmas but haven't had a chance to buy any games so I was so excited to win this.
