Winning Just Might be Everything

So I never win anything.

Ever.

I found 27$ once in an empty parking lot with a friend and we split it and went out to lunch.

But I never win anything.

I’ve earned stuff. I’ve been given beautiful gifts. But never do I, by pure chance/luck/fate win anything.

But last week, on Gitzen Girl’s blog, I won one of her handpainted canvases. And I got it in the mail last night.

I feel honored to have a little bit of her in my home now. Thank you, Sara, for this. You’ve made me feel like a winner.

******UPDATE: So I did win something last fall. You see, I’m so used to NOT winning anything that it totally slipped my mind! I won an awesome Paper Source gift card from Kristen’s blog last November. Silly me. She had to remind me. Thanks, Kristen and Sara for being a part of my winning streak! Maybe I should hit Vegas this weekend ; )

    I saw where you won that on Gitz’s blog. It’s beautiful. And you ARE a winner!

    I’ve won cuff links, a DVD and most recently a beautiful quilted pillow from different blog giveaways. Most of my wins come from blogs that don’t have a large readership. My husband says I’m blessed. I agree

    i won a cord of wood one time, and most recently a blurb book.

    i had never won anything until i became a jones.

    michael’s family members win all sorts of things. once, his mom won a vcr, and his sister won a car (just to name a few), and i knew that once we got married i would finally win something.

    what a sweet saying on your painting. and it is fun to see you in video person.
