If you happen to enjoy the blog world as much as I do, I'm sure you've noticed the occasional "giveaway." Maybe you've entered one or two before, or just maybe you've even won something. ( If you're not as familiar with blog-world, a "giveaway" is nothing more than a contest created by the writer of a blog, who will give away something to a randomly-selected reader who leaves a comment.)
Before Christmas I noticed a giveaway at this little blog. The owners of this blog also own Imagine Childhood which is a lovely on-line store full of different educational and hand-on products for kids. Truth be told, it's not a blog I visit often. But because it was Christmas and because I am drawn to the things in their store, I found myself clicking right on over there.
To enter this giveaway, I was required to leave a comment about how I would spend $100 at Imagine Childhood. If I won, they would send me what I wished for! Easy enough. I've had my eye on these beautiful stuffed animals for a while now. So I quickly chose an animal for each of my kiddos, typed them in the comment box and pushed enter.
Hundreds of comments.
What are the odds?
Well, apparently, on this day, the odds were in my favor! Because these beauties were delivered to my front door a week later, completely and wonderfully free! (And just in time for Christmas!)
I hope this encourages you to visit a few of the many wonderful blogs out there and enter those giveaways! It's a great way to support bloggers and an easy way to come by some unique and often handmade items for free. Wishing you a stroke of blog giveaway good fortune!
Happy Weekend!
Congratulations!!!! These little friends are soooo adorable...I love your blog...and thank you so much for your lovely comment. Happy Tuesday to you. xoxo

How cute are they! I'm sure each of them found a pair of very loving arms.
