Friday Favorites
Happy Friday!
Congratulations to me again! It appears I’ve won 2 contests on blogs recently: a book giveaway at Healtbolt and Staples new ‘M’ products at The Home Office Organizer. A while back I won a online press kit template at SEO Scoop. (haven’t had the time to use it yet Donna, sorry about that!). All of which makes me feel almost guilty. Maybe since I’m a blogger too I shouldn’t be entering these things? What do you think? Although I did say Happy Birthday to Donna without even realizing there was a contest taking place. And I plan to blog about the book. Have you won much stuff on blogs? Or am I just lucky? As much as I might feel just a bit guilty - the first blogger I see giving away a million dollars - I’m going to leave a comment, or whatever it is they want!
Anyway here is this weeks links. Doesn’t seem like at many this time, although I don’t know why.

Hi Trisha,
Looks like you got luck on your side at the moment.
When you have a moment, can you send me through your postal address and I’ll get the PR people to send out your Healthbolt book win.
BTW, thanks for directing us to Ellen Wilson’s post on Ethics in Photography - definitely food for thought.
cheers,
Liz
