The video played for me!

Raffle-boy is so awesome; he's got this down pat! Seeing that engaging grin was a wonderful highlight of my day.

I will tell you guys that I literally flipped a coin to choose which prize I would like. If I hadn't done that, I would have been weeks trying to decide.

Kent chose the gift certificate.
I chose the xerxes book.

GREAT not-a-raffle! Yay!!!

Love the video! And the raffle boy is growing up, knows the routine, and as usual, stole the show. (Sorry Dave!) :>)

Congrats to the winners! All great prizes were given out.
Looking forward to the next one.

Congrats to all the winners. Will look foreward to the video when I go visit someone not on this hateful dial-up

Congrats to the winners and a big thank you to all that contributed and/or worked on the raffle!

I know I won 4th prize but I can't remember what it was and I'm having trouble with (my computer) loading the video so that I can watch the drawing again.

Many thanks to all our generous prize donor's ... this truly is a wonderful place to spend time sharing, chatting, learning ... and winning! But, as I've stated before, I truly think we are all winners just by having ATP available 24/7!

Lin, if no one else has chosen it yet, it's the Pollinator book by Tallamy:

As development and subsequent habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. But there is an important and simple step toward reversing this alarming trend: Everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity.

There is an unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife — native insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. In many parts of the world, habitat destruction has been so extensive that local wildlife is in crisis and may be headed toward extinction.

Bringing Nature Home has sparked a national conversation about the link between healthy local ecosystems and human well-being, and the new paperback edition — with an expanded resource section and updated photos — will help broaden the movement. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical recommendations, everyone can make a difference.

Oooh, Very nice! Is that the book you donated for a prize? Well, if someone else wins it I think I might order it, looks very interesting ... thanks for the link!

Oh! Me, too!

Thanks for the link, Mary!

Congrats to all of the winners!!! Loved the video as usual, they always make me smile.

That's the book I'm donating, yeah. And so far, I've not had any tree-mail telling me where to send it, so...

We're waiting for the third place winner to decide. I tree mailed her right away but still have no reply. I sent her an email this evening asking her to please let me know. If she doesn't choose by Monday then I will skip over her and let the 4th place take the next choice.

Sorry for holding things up! School started and I haven't been on ATP the last few days.
I pick the yummy honey!

Thanks Dave! And thank you to the generous donors.

Well, if I was 4th place winner I think that would be Mary's donated prize of the great nature book, right? ... but I ordered the book on-line after she posted the link and I began reading about it The next time my husband orders from Amazon I'm going to get the other two books too, Attracting Native Pollinator's and Native Alternatives to Invasive Plants!

So, I went with the prize of the Acorns and I think Chelle was next in line? If so, she wins the "Bringing Nature Home" book!

Thanks again everyone!

Yippee!

I'm so excited to receive this prize! Thanks so much! It'll be treasured here, you can be sure of it!

It looks like a book to treasure for sure ... I can't wait for mine to get mine!

Chelle ... don't forget to send Mary your address!
