I'd be very appreciative of some acorns, if you still have some available, ViolaAnn.

If you need to relax, grow plants!!

As anyone counted all the prizes? I just looked at the list again and counted 17 total prizes. Six prizes of acorns and 11 garden themed prizes between tools, plants and certificates.
Is my math that off?

If 6 of the prizes are acorns, it makes no sense to have members outside of the USA ineligible for all prizes. They could simply be awarded the acorns. It makes perfect sense for plants that can't be sent across borders or for items that would cost to much to send outside the USA, but acorns?? @Dave

Thanks Karen.
If I am lucky enough to win, even if it is 1st, I am taking acorns just so I can give them away!

Sorry, that was my error. The raffle automatically inserts my 3 50-acorn prizes each month. This time since I had an anonymous benefactor join in, that was added separately and the regular acorns weren't supposed to be there. I removed it from the raffle prizes list.

There is only 3 acorn prizes.
