Nerds With Birds

I started contesting in Sept 2005. It all started with a phone in contest through Gatorade/Albertsons. I called the 00# and the recorded voice said “Congratulations! You’ve WON!” I was so excited to think I won something for making a phone call. WooHoo! I’ve been addicted ever since. I do go through spells where I play a few hundred contests every single day then I’ll skip a few weeks or months. There are always contests to be entered :) I said I would post up some of my wins…So here’s a list and I added lots of pictures under the contest album in pictures. As you can see I’ve won a lot of crap *LOL* It’s very addicting ;) These are just the items I won during 2005-2006. I didn’t really keep track in 07 because I only contested here and there. Most of the stuff I sold or gave away but I still have some of it. I keep all my papers saying I won and am planning on making a scrapbook with them -whenever I have the time *LOL*
