Gifts , Winnings and Top 3

Somehow I always feel embarrassed to post about my winnings and top 3s and kept on postponing this post!When I first got a gift and card from a blogger pal  a couple of months back[ My blogger pal  Romina was the first one to send me something from blogland] I didnt know it was blogger etiquette to post photos of the gifts ! So sorry Romina!Now I am more " blog wise" experienced and know blogger pals like to hear about others winnings , top 3s ,give-way wins and RAKs as its a form of encouragement perhaps! Do tell me your views.
Well do forgive me for blowing my horns -I am just following  blogger etiquette !!

  43. Sonia, those are fantastic wins and much needed a "shout out". Congratulations to you in all your winnings, but most importantly, to all the friendships you have made ever since you began blogging. Now I guess I need to do a post about some winnings, since you taught me that it is blog etiquette to do so (I had no idea and, like you, did not want to boast...LOL)
    Always lovely to chat with you!!!
    :O)
