Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
Do you enter blog giveaways and have you ever won something?

I’ve won by accidentally entering while just leaving comments.
More than once too
I’ve entered a few blog giveaways and won a few things. I’ve won a gift card to Starbucks and a Polly Pocket Mega Mall from Coffee with the Mrs at Christmas time which was awesome!

Can’t say Ive ever won a giveaway!! Guess its not been the right thing for me to want lol
Yes, I don’t enter them all the time but if there is something good out there I will enter to win.
Yes, I have won a few things so far. Nothing spectacular but fun none the less.
My first and best win was an icaughtsanta photo that I was able to surprise my kids with Christmas morning. It was priceless!
I enter once in a while. When I do, I make sure the prize is something I can use or that someone I know can use. I have won quite a bit of the time, actually. I once won a pearl bracelet. Other times I have won books and toys.

I do enter giveaways and I love winning. I have won several cloth diapers, I recently won some John Deere toys but I am still waiting for them to come to my house, I also recently won a really pretty Swarovski crystal bracelet and a baby food making kit. I know I have won a lot of other things over the past year.

I have been very lucky with giveaways, winning 15 since I started playing in March. I take advantage of all the extra enties, playing every last one. Can’t let those go to waste!

I do participate in some giveaways, but usually forget so if they don’t email me I don’t usually check back unless its a site I go to normally. I did win 100 photo announcements that I get to use soon!

I hardly ever win anything. I am THAT girl. But I did win a gorgeous necklace-handmade and stamped silver necklace-that I adore from Kristen at La Dolce Vita at http://kristenandrewsonline.blogspot.com/. I just love it and highly recommend her if you are in the market for a one of a kind piece.
Blessings. jean

I love to enter blog giveaways… that was the reason The Hubs had me get into blogging while I was recuperating from my spinal surgery this past February. But it has really evolved into lots more and some SUPER friendships with fellow bloggers that I truly feel a deep connection with (you know who you ladies are!!) Plus I have won almost ALL the Christmas presents for my grandson. My biggest win has been from Blogher: a $1000 Visa gift card WooHoo!

.-= Mama Dweeb´s last blog ..Aloha Friday =-.
What the heck, I can’t find the links so I can visit the other bloggers. Where is it??
I do enter giveaways! And I have won, but not in a long time, and nothing super great like a vacuum or a big gift card. That’s what I’m wanting right now. I’ve won scrapbooking items, $10 gift cards, books, mostly things like that. But, as I said, it’s been a looooong time!
