Giveaway..Blog Candy...giving back

Scroll down to see what I'm giving away!!

I want to tell a little story. I have always been unlucky. I never win anything. My husband always thought I was silly when I said this until one day...... It was his first Christmas work party and we all put our name in this basket for prizes. Well, they started drawing names and I mentioned that I never win anything. But then they just kept drawing and drawing and we realized that they had something for everyone. Well... guess who's name was drawn VERY LAST? You got it! Mine! So I knew then that it was true..I would never win anything unless everyone won something, and then it would be the lamest gift left.

Until NOW! I recently got hooked on blog giveaways and I've actually won a few things! It started just a couple of months ago when I first heard about giveaways. Here is what I've won so far:

First I won a mini scrapbook kit on Stampin Mama's blog. I didn't really count this though because it was a girly kit and I have all boys and I also won it by telling the story of my friend who had just had her baby in the canyon during a snow storm so I gave it to her.

Second, I won $40 worth of products from Good Thoughts Paper Co. from Bloggy Giveaways, which I love!

Then, Bloggy Giveaways had a Blog Giveaway Carnival where there were literally more than 800 giveaways. It was totally insane! From that I won a t-shirt from PKMU, some Laundry Tree soap nuts from Laundry Tree and an external hard drive from the Inside Fatherhood blog. (Although I have yet to receive it from the company, but I hope I will!) That carnival definitely got me hooked, I couldn't believe I was actually winning stuff!

Since then, I've won two more giveaways, and one contest! I almost can't even believe it. Granted, it wasn't the pink laptop that I was dying to have, or the printer/scanner I really needed, but free stuff is FREE STUFF! Am I right or am I right?

So next I won some adorable little shoes from the Hip Mama's Place blog that were from SeeKaiRun.

Then, I actually won a photo contest at Happy Panda Baby and won $40 worth of free products.
But that wasn't luck, my babies were just too cute!

And finally, just a couple of days ago I won the Sweet Melissa Baking Book at A Book Blogger's Diary!

So...... on to why you are probably sitting here reading this......I want to share the fun and make someone else happy! Here is what I want to give away:

One winner will receive:

A Mary Kay Mother's Day gift pack: The set includes Mary Kay® 2-In-1 Body Wash & Shave, Hydrating Lotion and netted sponge in a pretty mesh bag. ($28)
