Contests? Yes, please.

Probably about a year and a half ago, I stumbled upon a love of contesting..  Who DOESN'T love winning things? 

In the past, I was only entering contests from major companies websites... and not really winning anything.  I then came across the wonderful world of blogs that range from cooking and baking (and I do love new recipes) to talking about general life, reviews, giveaways. 

I began entering giveaways on these blogs and started winning a decent haul - some of which I have kept for myself and some I entered in hopes of winning to give as a gift to a friend/family member..  Whatever you want to call it, I am just certain my neighbours question the fact UPS/Fed EX/Canada Post are making frequent stops to my place... oh, and I probably need to win a GPS as I get lost EVERY single time I go to the Fed Ex depot in my city.  Don't ask me how, but I do..

Anyhow, I have recently gotten into Twitter to increase my chances of winning a contest, as I realized this method od daily entry REALLY boosts your chances.. along with adding a lot of time to my hobby.

One thing I have never done (and the point of this long winded post) is to BLOG about a contest.. I am not sure I will be getting into that as a habit, but I am promoting one here today.. so without further babbling:

There is a wonderful blogger out there Lemon Drop.  Her blog is a foodie blog with some glorious recipes such as Bite Sized Nutella Brownies, Cinnamon Twists and Apple Butter bread... Yum!  She is currently hosting a giveaway:

Three lucky winners will win the following:
1. A fun set of test tube sprinkles by Wilton.
2. A great set of 32 Spiderweb Baking Cups by Cupcake Creations.
3. A fantastic Linzer Cookie Cutter Set by Wilton.
