Entering Contests

Dwedanoja, your candor got my vote - partly because it's refreshing, but mostly because I do the same thing. I've been blind since an untimely encounter with a drunk driver seven years ago, and have learned every penny counts!
Deeli, you have a great point - even though I've gotten some great feedback on my articles about my blindness, I'm disappointed because I seem not to have won with either of them.
If only I can keep hubby from spending it, my next contest winnings will pay my way to my 30-year high school class reunion.
I'm rooting for you, Dwedanojah! JustPlainJo, Ohio

You go girl! I do the same thing because I am disabled living alone on $1,059.00 and desperately need the extra income, too!

I spend a lot of time submitting lots of recipes from my collection from over the years and new ones that I try weekly plus tips and photos (I love taking nature photos) and an occasional Craft (I am not the greatest at those but every once in awhile I come up with a good one) and then pray that enough ThriftyFun Family Members like the accepted submitted posts to vote a thumbs up for them.

It's disappointing not to win but it certainly is wonderful when you do win and have some extra money to help pay for a tank of gas or kitty food and litter for a month or be able to put some aside for an emergency!

No matter what, even when I know there's competition in any given week, I give a thumbs up for any category because we are a Thrifty FUN Family! Thumbs up for your tip!
