802 numbers
The Director Paul, and his dogs at Rescue The Animals.. pulls the first number...
200 ~ Summer Smith - Tennessee, USA
Paul dives in for a second number....
240 ~ Stephanie Smith ~ Queensland, Australia
CONGRATULATIONS Summer and Stephanie.
Summer... I didn't know what your last name was, until I just went to your blog to see if it was on your profile... didn't think to do that when I was typing out all the names last night! What a coincidence you both have the same last name, and both fall into the 200's!!!
As we raised so much money, I am giving away a doll from my shop. The kittens really wanted to play with the bits of paper, so when I got home, I thought I would let them.....
Texas picked one up in his mouth..
Texas couldn't watch, unlike Mulberry.....
Soggy paper but, CONGRATULATIONS Shauna Henry 328 - Oklahoma, USA. You get to choose a doll from my shop.
Gosh, I guess 'S' names are lucky!!
Lastly.... another doll from my shop goes to a fellow artist, and a generous friend. You know who you are Pattee :O)
Thank you so much to everyone. I feel so bad everybody didn't win.
Thanks to you all, we raised........ $2240.00
Rescue The Animals wishes to thank you too, and will feature the event on their website, once I get a photo sorted!
UPDATE
Something was 'bugging' me in my head, and I felt the need to give one more doll away... ok, maybe it was the glass of red I just enjoyed, or the fact that why didn't I check to see the name Mulberry had tried to eat?
So, I checked, and 449 ~ Crystal Massuda from Massachusetts.. you are a winner too.
A big congrats to all the winners (you lucky dogs and cats lol)and wow Abi that was a great amount you raised! I can hardly wait for the photos.
ReplyDeleteOh and tell Paul his dogs are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteWow You are really special and I'm glad I found you. It was just by chance that I did. I was pouncing in Etsy one night and saw the listing for the raffle tickets . You have done a great thing for the animals and for the lucky humans who get to have one of you dolls.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being you.
