I Won The Delicious Moments Contest!!!

I have some amazing news! My entry in the “Delicious Moments” contest received the most votes, and I have won $10,000!!! Click here to see my winning video.Thanks so much to all my readers for voting and spreading the word!! I can’t believe it!!! I have been a “sweeper” – AKA someone who enters contests as a hobby – for a little over a year now, and I’ve always dreamed of winning a big prize. Persistence pays off; it really could happen to you!!

It all started back in September, when I read this post on Resourceful Mommy offering a Wal-Mart gift card & a booklet filled with free coupons to the first 75 people to send in a video. So I sent in a video, hoping to be one of the 75 and win some free coupons. Never did I dream that I would end up actually winning the grand prize! Who says clipping coupons doesn’t pay off?!?!

Bonus: I submitted the video on my birthday. Best birthday present ever!

So thank you again from the bottom of my heart for your support! This is a major deal and will have great positive impact on my life. Being the frugal person that I am, lots of people are curious as to what I’ll do with the winnings. My plan for right now is to put it into a savings account and then weigh up my options as to what will be the best investment. There are several possibilities – for example, anyone who has been to my house knows that there has never been a driveway here. So putting the funds towards installing a driveway (and garage, if zoning permits!) is one option. Of course, I will keep everyone posted!
