Odd$ and End$ - 'It Pays to Enter' Edition

I see tons of contests and giveaways on blogs, but I don't enter very often. I just never seem to win and one time when I did enter, I got an email from the blog host that the contest ended the week prior. I guess I wasn't paying attention to the fine print.


So I was excited to receive an email from Kay Lynn at Bucksome Boomer that I had won a giveaway on her site. Yeah, I won some Eucerin body lotion (above pic) which just happens to be one of my favorite brands.

Thank you, Kay Lynn!

My favorite links this week:

• Carnival of Personal Finance: Little Red Riding Hood Edition was hosted at Well Heeled Blog. Very Clever Edition.
  


• The A, B, C's of Blogging for the New (and not so new) Blogger at Nirvana Mama. Some great advice.


• Have you checked out Yakezie.com yet? It's a great site to find personal finance bloggers with many different backgrounds and viewpoints.


• Pumpkin Spice Bagels at From Apples to Zucchini. I have never made bagels before, but I am so going to make these.

Have a great weekend!
