I homeschooled, which meant my parents had me involved in everything: swimming, spelling bees (made it to state!), beauty pageants (when I was little), and 4-H/state fair.  I won a few best in shows with my apple pies!

    2) What is under your bed? Oh lordy.  Everything.  Tools, boxes of old letters, pictures, everything I think I might need one day basically.

    3) What keyring/s are your keys currently on? A Nepalese good luck charm from my friend Krishna and a Tardis.

  • 1) Have you ever won a contest or a trophy for something?  What did you win/what was it for?  I can't recall winning any trophies, but I did win a signed copy of The Hunger Games from Borders when they were doing a Twitter contest. I've also won quite a few YA books from various Twitter contests.

  • 1. I won the Young Authors contest at my school and a MLK Jr. essay contest when I was pretty young. Various dance trophies and awards when older. Can't recall recently.

    2. Cords to plug in chargers, etc.

    3. My keys are on a keychain that has only a tiny metal Tinkerbell head- the rest of her broke off. The thing that helps me identify my keys in my purse is a plain wide-mouth black bottle opener from college.

    1) I was very active in 4-H, so I won a lot of stuff from that. Genealogy, stamp collecting, basket weaving, other needle craft, computers, and cats were some of my strongest. And I was a frequent champion in microwave baking! 

    2) My box of travel gadgets, a cat, some dust bunnies ("Dolores! The dust bunnies!")

    3) a sterling silver personalized name keychain I ordered from Etsy that says "Alohomora";

  • 1) A ton of horseback riding awards (I used to go to shows constantly when I was younger). I also made it to a national photography competition once and won a few trophies at the regional/state level.

    2) Sheets/extra blankets; I think a set a speaker (small ones) and probably some of my husband's shoes

    3) A keychain from the tower in Auckland, NZ from my sister
  • 1) Have you ever won a contest or a trophy for something?  What did you win/what was it for? In college I won a few smartypants awards, and some came with money, but I've never won a contest or trophy.

    2) What is under your bed? Our fireproof lockbox, a bible, and slippers. Also a beautiful hand-painted rainstick that my BFF gifted me for my 15th birthday (though it's really just hiding from my kids under there). I'm sure some foam earplugs rolled under there too. Some here can appreciate that I also have a medium-sized spider-catching glue board against the wall on the floorspace parallel to my pillow (I perhaps check this for eight-legged corpses with more regularity than may be considered mentally healthy).

    3) What keyring/s are your keys currently on? A Packers logo and a little photo frame from a recent vacation containing a pic of me & my daughter and my husband & my son.

  • 1) Have you ever won a contest or a trophy for something?  What did you win/what was it for? Spelling bee trophies.  And Goodreads books, if you want to consider those trophies of a sort

    2) What is under your bed? Rubbermaid storage bins with our good china.  We have a crap ton of it that never gets used and there's nowhere else to store it.  There is also some under the guest bed.

    3) What keyring/s are your keys currently on? A small leather coin purse with a cat face from Ten Thousand Villages and a hula girl B&BW antibacterial hand gel holder.  My work keys are on a VMT lanyard.

    I thought people here might appreciate it. I think it's awesome, but most people just give me a blank look, and I'm all, "What?! Don't you get it?!"

  • 1) Have you ever won a contest or a trophy for something?  What did you win/what was it for?
    Yep! I won an award for my school's first annual video program awards for Best Actress. Its an acrylic award and is on display in our livingroom. It's probably the only trophy I'll ever receive, so I'm gonna hold on to it.
    2) What is under your bed? Right now, our cat. She refuses to come out too.

    3) What keyring/s are your keys currently on? It looks like an old metal deat belt buckle with Hello Kitty on it.

    Yes. I won a spelling bee in 4th and 6th grades. I won a poetry contest in 5th grade.

    A Clemson university keyring that has a hook to hang on a purse.
