I also want to congratulate all the winners and I was very happy to have been picked for 2nd place. Since I have more than enough daylilies, I chose the AHS renewal. Thanks again Dave for all the fun we have had. Thumbs up Thumbs up

I laugh out loud every time I watch one of the Not-A-Raffle-Raffle videos. "Raffle Boy" did a great job as usual. And little Bebe is just too cute! I feel like a winner just watching every month's video! Tell big sis that the hat she crocheted was adorable on her younger brother's head! Dave and Trish ... y'all have the cutest children! You both must have lots of laughs all the time around your clan!

Thanks to all who donate this month's prizes. It was a terrific collection of prizes!

And a BIG congrats to ALL the lucky winners!!! I was tickled to read that Zuzu won 1st place! I wish her much joy with her new daylilies. Her current roses and these new daylilies will make show-stopper plants for her amazing gardens! (I hope she posts photos in the Spring when everything blooms!)

I look forward to next month's Not-A-Raffle-Raffle! (Now will have to attempt to earn some more acorns ....)
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.

Thank you so much for the fantastic raffle! I was excited to win the acorns - what a huge not-a-raffle it was! Hurray! Hurray!

What a wonderful way to start my day, by watching the video. I couldn't help but laugh out loud when raffle boy put the tickets between his toes. And your daughter does a beautiful job of crocheting. Lots of talent there. What a fantastic family you have Dave and Trish.

Thanks to everyone for all your work putting together Daylily week and all the prizes, and congrats to all the winners!

Yay! Hurray! I'm very happy to have won some acorns! I could only buy 2 tickets so I'm surprised that I won something.

Thanks for the fun raffle! Congrats to all the winners! Big Grin

Also, I have to mention that the photo of 'Buddy's Pretty Laura' is just gorgeous!

(P.S. Yes, Dave, I was the lucky one that won the fabulous ATP tee-shirt in the podcast contest! Thanks again! Smiling )

A note to those who won the pile of acorns prizes: if any of the first 7 winners forfeits by not responding in time, then the next person down gets to choose. According to the rules, after I contact them asking them to pick, if they don't respond to my note within 3 days, they forfeit and I move on to the next winner. So far the first 4 have claimed their prizes and we're waiting for the 5th.

So, because of that, I'm not going to give the acorns up until all 7 prizes are claimed. Smiling

I added it on right before doing the drawing.

I think in future raffles from here out, I will always offer a pile of acorns to 3 non-winning winners.

Not sure how to spell my response, but 'hmph' seems about right. See, I am making a face to go with the sound effect! Hmph!
Now I know how the bushy tailed squirrels feel when I rake up under the oak tree and remove all their precious Acorn Acorn Acorn

I was shocked to receive Dave's email that I had won 4th Place in the Raffle. Hurray! Hurray! I have been so busy trying to close the house up for Winter, I forgot I entered the Raffle. And too, I never win anything. So imagine my happy surprise when Dave's email landed in my mailbox. I chose Michelle's very generous DF of James Hall's 2012 intro, 'Pretty Laura'. Michelle is already sending me some plants in April, 2014, so this works out well.

I would like to thank Dave and all the organizer's of this Raffle, as well as all the donor's who so generously donated the great plants and gifts that made this raffle so special. ATP is a very special place to learn, to share ideas and questions on daylilies, and to make new friends. I am so happy to be a member of this site. Group hug

I agree Alex! I have learned so much from so many people and everyone is so nice. It's just a great place to relax with my coffee and soak it all in.

Thanks all for the congrats! I am looking forward to receiving the apron. I will have to have my picture taken with it when I get it so I can show it off!
