This Week’s Spotlight is SweepTight. Here are some interesting facts about SweepTight.

When and why did you start blogging?

I started at the end of February 2010. The reason I started a blog is to share sweepstakes. Every time I would win something, friends and family would want to know how to start sweepstaking. I figured a blog would be a great way to share links and tips.

What is your blog about?
Mainly sweepstakes, a little bit of coupons and other money-saving ideas and some other randomness.

What is your favorite part of blogging?
Just having a place to share things that I am interested in. I love reading other blogs, too. Before I started mine, I did not know this blog world existed! I love it!

I would love for everyone to follow me and friend me!
