Inspired by BigBill, I'd also like to offer 5 acorns each to the first 20 people who ask. I'm in Canada and can't win the prizes but I'd love to help someone else get a ticket.

As Bill said, 5 acorns each and no begging, please. I'm not going to check who already got acorns from Bill, but really do you think it's fair to ask again? Please let those who didn't ask him have a chance.

And please ask on this thread rather than with a private message.

5 acorns sent to melody_hein and ivyplantsnyc

That's 5 people who've been sent acorns. 15 to go. But remember, you must request HERE, not by pm.

ViolaAnn, it's a shame that people outside the U.S. aren't eligible for NARR prizes. I understand about shipping expenses to those on other continents, but I didn't think shipping costs to Canada were much more than to U.S. destinations. Maybe y'all will be able to be included soon. Crossing Fingers!

Anyway, thank you for your generosity, I would appreciate some acorns for the NARR. From what I gather from the last NARR, gifted acorns are lucky acorns! As the saying goes, "Big oaks from little acorns grow", but in this case, maybe those acorns will produce some roses, peonies, succulents or perhaps even some tools. After all, these are "magic acorns". Thumbs up

Acorns sent to RadlyRootbound, NJBob and JLKelley. I hope that the gifted acorns are lucky for one of you. If I'm counting correctly that makes 8 people and I'm willing to gift 12 more.

I'd welcome some acorns for another chance at the drawing, and it's my birthday tomorrow, so maybe this will bring me luck.
