I won! I won!

I am not a winner.  Some people seem to get lucky and win everything, but not me. The last time I won anything was probably in 5th grade.  I scratched off a prize in a chip bag, and won $50.  I was thinking I'd be nice to my sister and give her $10 of it.  When the check came in the mail and I had cash in my hand, I changed my mind.  That's the last thing I've won that I can remember. 

Until today....  So before I reveal what I won, I should also confess that I read mommy craft blogs.  At times I feel embarassed, but right now I don't care.  They have given me great ideas and one blog even gave me the print so that I could make Taj his Abe Lincoln shirt.  That same blog, called MADE had a giveaway this weekend.  Basically with giveaways, you just leave a comment and if they pick yours, you win.  So easy really.  Well on MADE they had the best giveaway from Modern Bird Studios.  I am a nerd and looked, and out of 679 people that left a comment, I won!  I am getting a $250 gift certificate for one of their original paintings.  I am so excited and really happy to show R. the cool art they do with your pictures.  The only problem now is what picture do we use?

No, just randomly picked. I rarely win anything based upon my performance. Sad but true. I am so excited though. Did you check out their website?
