There were 607 tickets bought by 45 different members. I wish we had a prize for every member but that's not how raffles work! Mr. Raffle Boy was a little sleepy still and had some trouble remembering how this works, but at least we had fun regardless. Enjoy the video:

Here is the video:



Congratulations to valleylynn for winning the painting, and to goldfinch4 for 2nd place and LarryR for third place.

Thank you to Sharon and jmorth for so generously hosting this month's raffle, our biggest one yet!!!

That was actually the third time we tried filming the drawing! The first two times we spent 3 minutes each trying to get him to draw a paper and he never would! So we finally decided to give it a third try and if he wouldn't do it, I would do it. So, maybe he'll do better next time.

Yeah, congrats Lynn, Chris and Larry!!

Congrats to the winners

Need to go elsewhere to watch the video

Sleepy boy is so sweet!

Congratulations WINNERS and many thanks to the hosts

WOW - I'm SOOOOOO excited!!! I've been drooling over jmorth's pictures of the Gloriosa lilies for a long time. Awesome!

Thanks so much Sharon and jmorth for putting on this month's raffle!

Congratulations Lynn, Chris and Larry!!!

Congratulations to all the winners! And thanks to the generous contributors! Fun stuff for all! (yes, I just used "fun" as an adjective, nyah!)

Congratulations to the winners!

And that little guy is just so sweet. He was so relaxed, just sitting there holding papers in his toes..

Karen

HOw fun! Congrats to the winners! Yay!

And the videos are well worth waiting for! I especially like the use of toes for "note storage"! Very good!!

Looking forward to the next raffle/not-a-raffle!

Congratulations!!! Sleepy Mr. Raffle Boy is sooo cute! And he was obviously trying to figure out who was leaving when you asked him to wave good-bye.

Oh pooh ... I really wanted that painting!! Congratulations to the three winners!

Lynn: I know you will enjoy that beautiful painting!

Chris & Larry: Gloriosa has such a Glorious bloom ... you will love it when those tubers show their beautiful faces!


Thanks so much to Sharon and Jmorth for this wonderful raffle!!

LOL ... Little Man is sooo adorable and that was so cute using those sweet little toes for note storage! It looks like he had fun playing with the handles on the milk jug and it seems he was looking down the drive to see who was leaving ... but there was no one to wavy bye bye to!

Congratulations to all the winners! What great fun this has been. The painting was fun to do and when Jmorth added the gloriosas, it just added to the excitement. Thanks J, those gloriosas are just simply beautiful.

And thanks to those of you who bought tickets! Maybe we can do it again sometime.

Dave, thanks to you and Trish so much.
This is a such good place to be.

Sharon said:. This is a such good place to be.

Indeed, this is a wonderful place to be!

Congratulations to the winners

And, see, I told you all I wouldn't win...batting 1000%

Congratulations Lynn, Chris & Larry! That IS weird that Lynn & Chris hosted the last raffle/not a raffle & they both won this time! Karma. Good Karma.

Thank you Sharon & John for hosting this months fun & providing such irresistible prizes!

And thank you little man for entertaining us all & being such a good sport & letting daddy use your toes for note storage. You are a little

He sure was fascinated with that handle & how it worked. Maybe he's going to be a mechanic or an engineer.

Raffle Boy appears to be on strike, but thank you, Raffle Man, for taking over.

Congratulations, Lynn, Chris, and Larry. Thanks to Sharon and Jmorth for contributing such wonderful prizes. I love these not-a-raffle raffles!

Woofie, you're on my list for using "fun" as an adjective. You know I hate that!

(the only emoticon I could find with a tongue to stick out at you, Zuzu!)
