Leslie you're on a ROLL! You ought to go buy some lottery tickets.

Congratulations to everyone.

As she grumbles under her breath:
...yeah, sure, congratulations to everyone whose name is not spelled G-R-E-E-N-E...
Oh stop feeling sorry for yourself.
...but hey, I bought one ticket - and what about the kind folks who sent me acorns so I could buy more tickets?...
Be big about it, be happy for the winners...
...no, I'd rather sulk like a spoiled brat
C'mon cheer up...let me see that smile.
Hey, here's an idea,! Watch the cute kids in the video; you'll have a big smile on your face even though your name was not selected.
...golly, you're right, I do feel better about this. Thanks!

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Rolling on the floor laughing Wow, I am totally happy for all the winners. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Really, I am!

Loved the video drawing, especially the end when we get to see the beautiful Whitinger family waving to us. Lovey dubby
Leslie, Congrats on winning three in a row! If that makes you feel guilty I should really feel guilty because I've been very lucky in the Not-A-Raffle Raffles, having my name drawn in at least four or five raffles over the years! *Blush* My first win was in 2012 ... maybe the very first raffle here on ATP?. My prize was a beautiful necklace courtesy of ATP member Budgielover from her cubits store. In a 2013 raffle, I won Acorns and in the March Raffle this year, I won 3 plants courtesy of SRQ Hoyas! What a surprise to see my name on the list of winners once again ... so exciting! Congratulations to my fellow winners and Thank You so much to each and every one of the vendors and ATP members for your amazing generosity and support of this wonderful site, All Things Plants truly is a blessing to all of us. Group hug

What tickles us oldsters the most is seeing relatively new members become winners! We can read the excitement in your words, Suga. Makes us smile every time! Big congratulations to you.

And Dave, your 'northern' is showing. I think Suga is pronounced the way I say Shugah, AKA Sugar to most northerners. Just sayin' . . . Smiling I could be wrong.

The children, I always love seeing and hearing the children. Someday soon they will be doing the raffle videos all by themselves.

Congrats to ALL the winners! And a BIG Thank You to all the vendors!

Neat to see some members win who have not won before! All it takes is 1 ticket!

With the last NARR of this year coming up in a few weeks, start earning those tickets everyone! Thumbs up
