I have to say it, I never win. I just don't. Example: I played Bunco with school friends for 4 years. That's 48 games and three chances to win per game. I had 144 opportunities to win a prize. I did once. It was an extra joke prize. I just don't win.
Till tonight.
Tonight my school hosted a Fall Festival. We always have a basket raffle and silent auction. I put my tickets in a science basket and quickly told myself, "Silly! Uncross your fingers, that doesn't work anyway." Guess what?
It does. It must. How else to explain that I won a basket full o f science toys for Sloane. One hundred and fifteen dollars worth of science gear for five bucks in a raffle. Pretty cool! Plus, I won a bunch of goodies in the silent auction. Of course, I had to pay for them, but they were great deals and all the money went to my school. How great is that?
I told you. I'm feelin' lucky.
Anybody got a giveaway I can enter?

Wow! Congrats! That's much more fun than the one time I won a raffle (a wine tour... and I don't really like wine) so at least your prize is going to be well received and enjoyed!
(I also just wasted $3 in Las Vegas at the penny slots so I still feel like that raffle win was the only one I'll get.)
That is awesome! I love that feeling you get when you win. Sloane looks adorable and her eyes are just electric.
PS. Go to Frenchie and Flea next week. They are doing a giveaway Mon-Thur for the next 2 weeks to support their Handmade Holidays for various etsy shops!

Fantastic! Congratulations! I love a good auction! From now on, you can feel lucky.
Congratulations

I am sure that Sloane is thrilled too.
Love you
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!! Yay You!!! Congrats and how fun! Happy Weekending~
Yaaaay!! It's always fun to win something, no matter how silly it is. I just had to stop in and say how much I LOVE this picture. The eyes, the hair, the expression!!
as my hubby would say...
run...run out NOW and buy a lottery ticket before it all wears off.....
and that photo....blow that one up into an 11x14...it's just great !!!
Congratulations on your win! Sloane will certainly enjoy your win as will you. I love you!
You are one lucky chick, you are! How great was that?! And what a beautiful picture.... you've gotta' love those eyes!
Mind you, I won once. A trolling motor for a boat. Did I have a boat? Nah. Could I use a trolling motor? Nah. But the Little League could use the $1 I paid for the raffle ticket!
Congratulations! I know what you mean about not winning. We joke around here that if there were only 2 people in a contest, none of us would win. But...yesterday...I won a blog giveaway! I'll write about it soon. We are having a good weekend my friend!

Yippee for you!
I never win anything either. The only thing I ever remember winning was a box of chocolate covered almonds at a bowling alley once.
