3Day Raffle and Prizes

Posted on | October 18, 2009 | 2 Comments

It was too fast. I can’t believe it’s over already! We came through this year’s 60 miles in some of the best physical shape ever, but have been fighting off something since coming home – knock on wood we haven’t gotten sick like most of our poor teammates who got some nasty bronchitis and/or H1N1 either on the event or upon coming home – just extra tired, scratchy throats and such, which we can deal with. Not quite sure how we escaped, but grateful!!

Thank you for all your amazing support – your emails and comments as well as your generous donations have meant so much. I’ve decided to keep the raffle open for another week, because I didn’t have a chance to put up pictures and announce one more awesome prize before I went, and I’ve heard from some folks who would still like to donate. Think we can raise just a little bit more for Breast Cancer research by October 25? I’ll close the contest then and draw on 10/26. Anything you can do to help me spread the word would be most appreciated – as much as you may like to increase your odds, and I wouldn’t blame you one bit! I think these prizes are nice enough to garner some more interest no?

And with that, the prize roundup!

• One $40 gift certificate to One Planet Yarn and Fiber – my own thank you for your generous support of my fundraising.

• Two skeins (to each of two winners) of the luscious Sanguine Gryphon Bugga! Merino/Cashmere/Nylon blend sock yarn in your choice of the Perenial Colourway lineup, generously donated by Gryphon and Sarah. After the treat of knitting the sample Theseus and the Minotaur sample in this yarn, I understand exactly why it is in such demand!

• A custom-crafted needle roll by Katrin of Sew-Mad; your choice of color and size from travel size to 15-circular needle size. More photos of beautiful stitching and fabric combos can be seen here. I’m the lucky owner of one of Katrin’s rolls as well, she is a very talented seamstress (as well as knitter!) with a great eye for color.

Thank you so much Sarah, Gryphon, and Katrin for donating your wares to help me have a successful fundraiser within a very short span of time – I appreciate it SO much.
