WHEN I announced I wasn’t a lucky person during last week’s Aussie Giveaway Linkup and then proceeded to talk about all the prizes I’d won, it made me realise I really have been blessed. I guess it happened during a small space of time, when Princess Ella was just a bub. I had time on my hands, because she slept so much during the day, that the 25 words or less competitions nearly became my full-time occupation.
So I thought over the next few weeks, as the gorgeous Tina from tinagray {dot} me and I co-host this linky, I’d offer up some of the entries that scored me all that loot. You can visit The Inaugural Aussie Giveaway Linkup to see some of the huge prizes I won.
I also have to correct myself from last week. I said I’d won two $1000 Prepaid Visa cards. But, I actually won two $2000 cards. Now I sound even greedier. This is how I won one of them (under The Bloke in The Shed’s name, but with his permission, I might add). It was to state in 25 words or less what you’d spend the money on at the competition host’s venue.
“Fendi dresses with beautiful sashes, Mac mascara for my wife’s eyelashes, Gucci watches and Destiny rings. These are a few of my `must purchase’ things.’’
Easy. Much easier is winning something in the below link up though. So get clicking!

Entering comps – sheer weight of numbers may help, at least to win something occasionally; and trying to find something slightly quirky and interesting when writing 25 word answers
It’s definitely a numbers game, that’s for sure. And I agree about writing something quirky or interesting for your answer. It’s all about standing out! 🙂
Well now wonder you won – great idea and so very clever. What did you actually spend the $4000 on ??
Umm…. pavers for the backyard! LOL!!! Unfortunateky, no jewellery for me! 🙂
