I won...

Ok so today was the day that a certain Kimono Raffle ended... It seemed like a normal enough day, i mean i have had a long history of subpar luck when it comes to winning but i had entered any way. i spent a good chunk of the morning, checking and rechecking IG and suddenly i noticed i had a message... i had only ever gotten 2 PMs... 1 as a welcoming and another the other day when one of the administratitors contacted me about adding my yukata pic to their facebook yukata pic collection.

Then i saw that they had posted the results... of course i was all like "No.... it couldn't be..." so as soon as it was loaded i scrolled down to the Showa Retro Kimono Ensemble - Donated by Ichiroya & Naomi winners secotion... and i saw my user name. again i was like "really? i'm not seeing things?" so i check that PM and OMG (excuse the chat talk) i had actully won Showa Retro Kimono Ensemble.
I was simply extatic... i ran down strairs, arms flailing, to find my mom and tell her... then i told some friends and my dad... and then i filled out the nessisary info on IG so i would receive my prize and then i posted on face book and now i'm posting here... yay!

For those of you who are woundering what exactly did i win... well here it is:
