HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!!!!!

Okay everyone, here is the list of winners from yesteday's drawing. Several people took pictures, so watch the event for photo up loads. My camera unfortunatly lost power (needed charging) and I was holding the ticket box for my child helpers, so I didn't get any pictures. But I know some will be posted!!

We collected over 582.00 for the raffle items!!!! I have collected over 405.00 for the quilt, but am not sure what BYR has collected as of yet!!

**** I want to thank all of you who participated!! Remember, if you have tickets in for the quilt, they will be drawing for that on December 21st! Snapdragon herself will pull the winning ticket at a mini meet here in Ohio. She was very emotional when talking about her appreciation yesterday, I hope someone gets the picture posted of that.
Thank you one and all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keepin up with the Jones- Rachel

*** Need not be present to win, we will mail your winnings to you!!
WOW!!!! Lots of cool stuff has been donated!!!
PLEASE make sure to add your name to the event page if you haven't already!!
*** Just check out the awesome photos of newly added prizes!!! We will be creating an LTC set of goodies also!!

*** I am receiving prizes daily now! Nitrocat's Kitty Love stamp arrived today and it is just adorable!! I have also received to date, $456.00!!!!!!!! I am taking the bulk of that to the vet tomorrow!!!!!
*** As for prizes, we will have a few sets of items that the donating person has requested stay together. As for the other items, I will be pulling names for each thing we receive. I figured, why not let everyone have a chance at all the things we're getting instead of only having 3-4 sets of things!!! So your odds just got better! My donation to the event will be postage to get these things to the winners!!

Okay, we all love our pets and we hate to see something bad happen to them. Our letterboxing friend and my cousin Snapdragon is in a very tough situation right now. *** Please check out Snap's kitties and brief descriptions about them in the event photos!

About two weeks ago, one of her beloved cats showed up at the door with a broken leg. Well, these cats are her babies and she was extremely upset by this. Took him to get his leg fixed and brought him home with a very large vet bill.
Yesterday, she had another of her cats (Applesauce) show up at the back door with you guessed it- a broken leg!!!!
She posted about her concerns and sadness and it made my heart break. (other of her letterboxing friends too!)
We decided that we needed to help her out.

It will sit on top of a KING size bed well... but Mum calls it a QUEEN size quilt, so it hangs down around the edges...... now IF you have a smaller bed then it will hang down the edges and keep you even warmer.

Not only is Snapdragon my Favorite letterboxer, but she is my cousin and the closest thing I have to a sister, so please help her out in any way that you can. Whether its is by purchasing raffle tickets, donating prizes for the raffle or just sending her well wishes. She does a lot for others and is always willing to help when she can. So now it is our turn to help her out!!

There will be thank you LTC's for everyone who participates in this event in any way. They will be mailed after we have our drawing for the winners.

Any questions, please feel free to AQ mail me and I will answer all that I can. I'm sure I've forgotten stuff, but this is my first event, so let's make it a good one!!!!
