Seriously, I just met her in January and anyone who has seen my thread seen what she did for me. I love art and she (on her dollar and time) went above and beyond so much so that I still get tickled when I look at them. She does deserve this and she deserves to do a King limited in one capacity or another!!!! SHE IS AWESOME! So.... CONGRATS RACHEL!!!!!!!

Thanks, Jim :blush:, but it takes a village to make this thing a success. Of note, are Stroppygoblin, Shannon, Sirfolio16, Jimimck, Bad Penny, Rachel, ALL the artists and well many, many more too numerous to list here!!

But, you can find them all on the 2014 Haven Fund Donation Wall coming soon!!

Whoa, I just got the PM from Jerome!

It was my husband's birthday on 29th May when the announcement was made of the winner and I'm working on 2 oil paintings for a book cover so I haven't been online to check messages until today.

I'll be totally honest here and say that I didn't even know I had entries in the draw (or expect them), nor did I know what the prize is until I got the PM from Jerome.

What can I say, I'm totally gobsmacked and shocked. Absolutely thrilled to have been drawn as the winner and whichever book I receive it will be cherished.

I'm going to need some time to decide which book to have inscribed and what to ask Mr. King to write as this is going to be very difficult and a once in a lifetime opportunity that I want to get just right. I'll be sure to take photos and post them to show how it turns out.

Thank you all for the support and congratulations you have all given here, it is truly appreciated more than you could know!

A big thank you and congratulations to everyone who was involved in making this year's Haven Fundraiser another roaring success and raising a huge amount!!!

And a very big THANK YOU to all the participating artists!! Without your kindness and generosity the "Haven Fund" would be nothing in comparison!!!
