This was a fun one because Shoe donated such a nice gift and I think some people really wanted it. Unfortunately there was only one book to give, but fortunately there will be future raffles!!

So, the winner is... (drum roll)... Calif Sue! She wins the book from Shoe.

Second place winner is... (another drum roll) jmorth! He wins an All Things Plants Tee shirt.

I'll tree mail both of you and get the information necessary.

Congratulations to both of you, and for the rest of ya'll - better luck next time!!!

Thank you to Horseshoe for this extremely generous donation!!

Now, enjoy the video of the drawing:

That was so enjoyable & adorable! I laughed & laughed. The laughs were worth the not winning because I won laughter instead. Thanks!

Congratulations Sue & Jay!!!!!!!

What a great video! And talk about a deserving winner: Sue probably "bought" at least half of those 85 tickets.

We know that will be put to excellent use in Sue's hands. No doubt about it!

Thanks Shoe for donating. You're a stand up guy.

Congratulations to the winners! That beautiful book couldn't go to a more deserving member. (Your lucky day, Sue. You should go buy a lottery ticket or something).

The baby is so cute and at such a wonderful stage. I think he was a good choice to pick the winner- totally impartial, he picked them all!
