What We Won Wednesday — New and Improved

I know it’s not Wednesday yet but since I changed it up a bit I wanted to make sure people had time to write up a post if they were interested in participating. I’d love to hear about your wins!

What We Won Wednesday is a weekly post to share your wins in the last week. The idea of What We Won Wednesday is:

1. To share and congratulate each other on our joy of winning.
2. Encourage others
3. Show that people really do win giveaways and sweepstakes if you enter.
4. Give some exposure to sites that are offering sweepstakes and giveaways

Your wins can be from anywhere. Whatever you’d like to share. They can be blog giveaways, national sweepstakes, lottery ticket wins, 50/50, basket party, Fantasy Football, etc etc.

If you won online and remember what site you won from or the name of the company feel free to include it. It would be nice to see where people are winning from. You can post your own wins on your blog, myspace, facebook, wherever then link them up in the linky below so we can hop around and congratulate and marvel at the prizes. OR if you don’t want to you can simply leave a comment in this post.

This is a weekly post so don’t forget to share weekly and link up. I’d love it if you would Retweet, Stumble, Digg, Buzz, facebook, blog, or share this in any other way you’d like but it’s not required.

My wins for the last week:

1. 4 soap samples from Madame Koiteh’s shop from Audrey’s Giveaways Blog: http://audreysgiveaways.blogspot.com/2010/09/madame.html

2. A copy of the book Sin Undone from Savey Spender http://saveyspender.com/

Jumbies Review and Giveaway–CLOSED

For once, I found out about a new toy before my kids did. I heard about JUMBiES and thought they were very unique. What are JUMBiES? Well, they’re the newest collectable little stuffed animals.

This is how I surprised my kids with Jumbies. I received a letter with the story of Jumbieland and how Jumbies came to be. You can watch it for yourself here: http://jumbieland.com/. Then I asked my boys if they would like to adopt their own Jumbies. Of course they said “ya!” I had hid them around the living room and told them if they found one they would get to keep it.

My 6 yr old found “Blabbit” who is a jumble of a bluebird and a rabbit.

And my 8 yr old found “Dingbat” who is a jumble of a Dingo and a bat.

http://jumbieland.com/plush-dingbat.html

They thought they were really cool. The baby got the other one that was hiding which was “Mallit” a jumble of a mallard duck and a rabbit. My kids wanted to go online almost immediately to play the games and see what other JUMBiES were available.

There are more of these little guys. I think a great idea for these would be for Halloween. I try to get my kids a treat that is low cost and NOT sugar. These would be a great alternative. They would also make a unique stocking stuffer.

On the Jumbieland.com website there are activities for the kids too. There are games to play online and coloring pages to print.

Where to buy: You can buy them online on the jumbieland website: http://jumbieland.com/jumbies-store.html
or you can try the store locator on their site to find a store near you: http://jumbieland.com/store-locator.html

What We Won Wednesday—6th week

Yep, it’s that time again. And we want to know what you won in the last week. It could be a win from a blog giveaway, twitter party, national sweepstakes, scratch off ticket, 50/50 or whatever you want to share. If you remember where you won it, share that too if you can.

The idea is of this is to:

1. Encourage other to enter giveaways/sweeps/etc.
2. Congratulate and share in each others joy
3. Show that people really do win

I love to hear about your wins and i’m sure other do to.

My wins picked back up a little this week:

1. Alabu $25 gift certificate from Shady Lady: http://tnshadylady.blogspot.com/2010/09/have-sensitive-skin-try-alabu-goat-milk.html

2. Seventh Generation Products from Army Wife Life and Reviews: http://www.armywifelifeandreviews.com/2010/08/seventh-generation-free-and-clear-pack.html

3. A pair of Lee jeans from Moms Review 4 You: http://momsreview4you.blogspot.com/2010/08/lee-national-denim-day-five-pairs-of.html

4. Got a letter in the mail with a $25 VISA gc for third prize in the “Martini Spring Glamour Sweepstakes” which was a national sweeptakes. I don’t have the link but it was sponsored by Bacardi USA
I believe it may have been this website: http://spring.martini.com/verify-age.aspx?url=http://spring.martini.com/closed.aspx ***warning it is Martini and Rossi website so you need to be 21 or older to use it*** They frequently have sweepstakes on that site so if you want to enter or check it out.

I’m also considering a new approach to “What We Won Wednesday”. I’m thinking of making a linky. You can make your own post on your own blog with what you won for the week and link it on the linky. Then we can go around and congratulate each other and salivate over the prizes lol. Let me know what you think.
