Free Books and Gift Card

In the mail today, I received 3 items:

1. $10 TJ MAXX/Marshalls/HomeGoods gift card - I got this gift card by filling out a brief survey a little while ago about my plans for college and what I know about college Credit by Examination. The survey was emailed to my school email address. When I filled it out, I received a $10 credit for giftcertificates.com, which I redeemed for this gift card!
2. None Like You by Jen Wilkin - I got this book by being selected in a drawing on my friend Sarah's blog: http://smylinggirl.blogspot.com/
3. Handle With Prayer - I'm on Charles Stanley's Ministry's mailing list, and every so often I'll be able to mail in a request form for a free book. This was one of those books. 

Excited to read both of the books and go shopping!
