Having had a break from competitions for a few years, I decided to give this fun hobby a whirl again, and decided to allow at least an hour a day entering comps,be it online, FB, postcard and even slogans.
Within weeks I had got my first win which made me almost fall out of my chair. For my parents Xmas pressie, I ordered a daylight craft lamp from an online store, as they are struggling to see at night to read. It came, but was cheaply made and difficult to assemble so I sent it back.
TO MY SURPRISE the next day a letter cam from a crafting magazine to say I had won first prize ...which was... TWO Daylight craft Lamps, worth £70.00 each!! This was a little known comp I had heard about after following tips from these great websites.
This has followed by a case full of spicy peppers, a years worth of yoghurt and today...a high quality lipstick and Christmas Bubbly!
I'm so thrilled and it's a good indication that my reignited enthusiasm for this great hobby is paying off, not only in prizes, but new friends on the forums/FB and a great sense of time well spent!..Fingers crossed for the biggie soon!
