I WON

You are currently browsing the archive for the I WON category.

This is exactly how I feel today.  Yesterday was a very long day, as Briahna went in for her long awaited tonsillectomy.  We waited 2.5 hours just for her to go into the operating room and then of course there was the 4 hour wait until she was able to go home after the surgery.  During this time I was unable to contact my normally contactable hubby because his cellphone was playing up (unbeknownst to both of us at the time – I thought he had it switched off and he thought it was working).  Needless to say it all added up to a very stressful day! 
Briahna came through the op well, but is in a lot of pain!  And last night was very sleepless as we had to give her her pain med’s every four hours.  It felt a lot like having a newborn again, glad that’s all over – hehe!
Needless to say – I am totally exhausted!  And after her 10am med’s I think I might join her for a little naptime.
On a little sidenote, unrelated to the above, look at what I won during Angelique’s Blogtoberfest giveaway!
Blue Bunny

Included with him will be a little parcel of pacific goodness all the way from New Caledonia! YAY!  I’m such a lucky girl.  I’ve loved the No Life Without Wife blog for a while now – if you’ve never seen it, go check it out!

So the huge OWOH giveaway is over, my prize has been won and is about to fly all the way over to Aussie…

I wondered if I’d win anything this time around, I entered almost everyone’s giveaways and with fingers crossed hoped like everyone else who’d been doing the same as me that I’d win.  Now that so many more people are involved in OWOH there are probably less opportunities to win something now, but like I said I had my fingers crossed…

Well, I won two OWOH giveaways! :)  YAY!

First up, I won the giveaway Robin from Robin’s Artful Musings

 

And then, some really awesome K &Company Amy Butler Lotus Greeting Stamps from Steph at StephJacobson.

I can’t wait to use them!  Steph said to me in her email that it’s snowing up a storm where she is, that’s just so hard to imagine when it’s been stinking hot here.  In fact, on Thursday,  Auckland (New Zealand) had it’s hottest day since the 1870′s.  32 Celsius.  I realise that’s not as hot as Australia’s been having, but it’s real hot for us wimpish kiwi’s! ;)

And then on the very same day as all these were being drawn I won the most awesome handmade bag from Mary at Make it Smirk!

It’s the Estelle Bag which you can get a free pattern for from Burda Style! :)  It’s so awesome, and I was so lucky to win it – especially since I was the last person to enter!!!  Go check out Mary’s blog – she’s another great kiwi crafter!

I feel very blessed to be a part of such a generous blogging community, and it’s just so much darn fun sharing all the goodness!!

I won!

Lookie, guess what I won! Six golden books from silly gilly! So, so, happy my losing streak may just be over! :) I am a huge fan of golden books, and have quite a collection of them in my bedroom (not even in the kids room, they have to carefully read them in my presence!)

Don’t forget to enter the draw to win Amanda Blake Soule’s book – the creative family here on my blog.

I just can’t believe it! I am finding it hard to breathe, let alone type! I didn’t think I would win anything when I entered all the giveaways through one world – one heart. (I didn’t enter all of them, just the ones I liked…) I have won four, make that FIVE giveaways!!! I can hardly believe it myself, I never win anything – just ask the hubby! I am trying to breathe here… I am so thankful to One World – One Heart and I’ll definately take part in the giveaway community next time Lisa organises one!
