Horseshoe, who wins a $100 visa gift card!

And the second place winner is paulgrow who received a shirt in his preferred color and size.

Congratulations to both of you!

Here's the drawing:



And by the way, I had looked into this, and this contest wasn't technically a raffle since you didn't have to spend actual money to buy tickets. It was a "contest". So I need a new name for this kind of contest next time we do this. And we WILL do this again, so start saving your acorns for next time! Smiling

I'd been gone all day, and Little Man was NOT going to let me go, just in case he lost me again. It was funny, but only because he's never clingy, and almost never grouchy.
