I Won Something!

lotion.jpgToday I got a package in the mail. 

My 3 year old daughter oohed and aahed as I pulled the shiny black bag out of the envelope.  She thought the lotions look neat, but the bag is what she has her eye on. 

In the bag was a Cellu-Shape Moisturizer and Body Gel.  In brief it’s supposed to firm, tone, strengthen, and minimize problem areas in my skin.

Sounds like a miracle cream, but I’ll try anything since I had a 10 pound baby [yes, naturally].  I was 5′1″ and 105 pounds before that baby  [yes, I looked like I had a basketball under my shirt].

I’m still 5′1″, but now I have stretch motherhood marks.  I’ll try any cellulite minimizing agent that doesn’t cost too much, isn’t addictive, meets government regulations, promises to make me beautiful, and doesn’t make me figure out a name like Rumplestiltskin before I can use it.

These I won - I WON! - from Nise’ at Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Me.  I was a second chance drawing winner.

By that day, after entering over a hundred contests and knowing all the contests were ending I didn’t care if I won free liver and brussel sprouts; I was just ecstatic to actually win something.

Can you tell this is the first blog contest I ever won?

So thank you, thank you Nise’ for having second chance drawings; and thank you to the daughter who picked my comment number.

    You are so welcome! It is not a miracle cream, but it does help! I have noticed a little firming in my “bird wings” (under arm looseness)! Enjoy.

    Ooooh! (I sound like your daughter, huh?) I’m so glad you won something, especially something so pretty and pampering :~)

    Btw, your books came in this week! Thanks so much for sending them — especially the extra ones (it was a typo, but I’m all for extra books, hehehe). I’ve already finished one of the stories in Texas, and I’m dying to know what’s happening in the others! :) And, your giveaway was the first one I’ve ever won, so that’s extra exciting for me!
