    Default Do you enter online give aways?

    I enter a lot of quilt blog and facebook give aways. I won a $100 prepaid Visa from Brother, a set of Bock Lock rulers, Aurifil thread package, QuiltMaker 100 block magazine, quilt kit from Hancock's of Paducah, gift certificate from Fat Quarter Shop, and a selection of Steady Betty products since January. There are giveaways by the hundreds on quilt blogs everyday. I allow myself 30 minutes a day to enter blog giveaways (there are thousands of quilt blogs) and take advantage of being stuck in a waiting room by using my phone to enter. Anyone enter blog giveaways?

    I don't enter because I can't tell if they are valid or not.

    Quilt Blogs are valid, especially the ones that are blogs from the fabric industry or magazines. Bloggers have too much invested in their blogs and reputations to gyp someone. Especially the designers and shop owner blogs. You never have to give out more then an email address and if you win then you are contacted through email. You can have the prize sent to any address you want under any name you want. I always post a thank you on the blog if I win.

    I don't enter anything, on line or not. Just the way I am.

    I don't enter either. They want too much personal information that I am not willing to give out. Sounds like you have been very successful, congratulations.

    I have entered some online contests but never thought to look for them on quilting blogs. Going to do that soon. You certainly won a lot of great prizes. Of course, I always say "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all." I've never been very lucky.
