Is My Luck Changing?

I like to say I never win anything, because it's true: I never win anything. It doesn't matter how small or large the contest is. I don't win.



I've accepted that this is the hand I've been dealt in life.  As a result, I just don't enter that many contests anymore, despite the fact that a lot of the blogs I read host giveaways on a weekly basis.  I usually skim those posts, eyes quickly flickering over the pretty goods, and move on.  Because I'm just not lucky.

But.  BUT.  Yesterday I saw this giveaway, and I was bored at work, so I threw my hat in the ring. 

And I WON! 

I can't tell you how rare or how thrilling this is for me.  Not only did I win something, but this handmade handbag is something that I would choose on my own!  If you like the looks of it, check out the maker's etsy shop, which is filled with these beauties.

Perhaps this is the beginning of a lucky streak.  Up next:  lottery ticket?
