$50 Staples Canada Gift Card!

Just won a $50 Staples Canada Gift Card from the #StaplesGoingBack Twitter party hosted by @Listen2Lena - looking forward to picking up some "Me to We" products for Back to School! :-)

Won 4 Tickets to the CNE!

I won four tickets to the CNE from the Toronto Star and Toronto.Com :-)  Unfortunately, we just won't have time to get there, so I've asked the Star to pass them on to someone else.

I also won 2 more passes from Heartless Girl :-) (was trying to win Ride All Day passes):

Tickets to the Shores of Lake Erie Wine Festival

Sometimes, I enter contests for a lark, but this time I *really* *really* *really* wanted to win!  I can't wait to surprise my darling daughter with this one...  I'll update after the fact with more details, but thanks to Twitter I'm a winner :-)

Benny's Restaurant $200 in Vouchers!

Well, we're headed out for supper tonight!  Quite happy to have won $200 worth of vouchers for one of our favourite restaurants in Waterloo, ON.  Bennys!!  Thanks so much to 570News - my hubby won :-)

PediaSure $7.50 Secondary Prize

Well, the main prize was a $500 gift card to Toys R Us, so a $7.50 secondary prize of a Pediasure Picky Eaters pack (whatever that is) is a bit of a let down, but a win nonetheless :-)

$20 Starbucks Gift Card

Won a $20 Starbucks Gift Card from Ford Canada's Twitter Party!  Thanks Ford Canada :-)

Won a Summer Fun Pass for the family at Destiny USA in Syracuse, NY

Okay, I may be overdoing it !  I won a Summer Fun Pass for the family at Destiny USA in Syracuse, NY from PR Mom Ottawa (@Sherriemae23) but the passes have to be used by August 31st and I can't figure out how to squeeze in a trip in the next two weeks!  Still, it is something I really hoped we could win and enjoy!  I'll definitely have to try again in the future, because WonderWorks alone looks amazing!  You never know, maybe we'll make it before the end of the month! :-)

Won 4 CNE Grounds Admission Passes!

Fingers crossed we will win some Ride All Day passes, but Grounds Admissions are half the battle :-)

Thank you Toronto.Com for the cool Summer contest! :-)

Won the Grand Prize at the Orange Naturals Twitter Party!

I've been to a few Twitter Parties, and I guess I'm starting to get pretty good at it!  Awhile back, I won tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters via Twitter.  I've been to a few CAAChats and won nothing, and I went to this fun Twitter @AirMilesCASH party hosted by @Listen2Lena and won a big compliment - but no prize:

Then, the very next night, she was hosting an Orange Naturals Twitter Party! With the funny hashtag #ONatural - I first asked if the Twitter Party was "Clothing Optional" and the hilarity continued, although I tried to behave myself!

But then the amazing news came, I won the Grand Prize!  A $550 value of ND Shakes (Nutrient Dense) for the whole family plus a Blendtec Blender! So excited!!

Won 8 tickets to the Canadian Military Warplane Heritage Museum

I've been seeing lots of blog reviews and giveaways for the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton Airport and the reviews made it sound like a really fun daytrip!  So I entered all of the active contests I could find - and I didn't win!   But then today, I won and won!  So perhaps we'll be taking some friends or meeting the Hamilton Aunties there :-)

Thanks RaisingMyBoys.net!

And Thank you to Creative Cynchronicity! :-)
