SPIN OUT 2007: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
AND I haven't puked today!
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH! I'm so pleased with the outcome, I can't tell you. I think Heifer International is a FANTASTIC organization and it warms my heart to see you all come out and support it. THANK YOU!
And a HUGE THANK YOU to all the PRIZE DONORS! The raffle would be NOTHING without you all! THANK YOU!
I've sent emails to the winners of the Lendrum, the Louet and the STR Sock Club and I hope to announce them publicly tomorrow. As I said before, the rest of the prize packages will be awarded sometime in the next two weeks - AFTER RHINEBECK. Thank you so much for your patience. My work life is in full swing and I can't get as much done as I need to during a day - so please bear with me. THANK YOU!

maybe hitting the magic number also cured the puking. We can only hope :) and there are only so many hours in the day, I am glad you are feeling better and that you are working a lot. Money is a good thing when there is a little person on the way.
and I know everyone else has an opinion on the gender so I thought I would throw mine in. I just keep picturing you w/ a little boy. I just keep seeing blue...
of course I had a sonogram w/ my son and still didn't believe he was a boy. everythying was yellow, so my inutition is nothing to brag about.

Hot DAMN! The power of knitters' generosity is a wonderful thing.
I'm curious about how many individuals donated? What is our average donation per individual?? Looking forward to having all of the winners freaking out and happy! The blogosphere is going to go nuts!
