Good news and bad news this morning.

Good news is we are all well, the sun is shining--Aaron and Hannah are safely on their way home over the mountain. :grouphug:

Beautiful people those two.

The bad news is our final video was too long for photobucket. <_< I'm going to try and host it on youtube but we're not going to make people wait for the announcement. Great little "thank you" type video with the Grand Prize (drawn by Dora) and the three bonus prizes!!

Yes...you didn't know about them, but we had them. :rock:

I will post a ton of special thanks coming soon, this has been great!

So without further a due:

EDIT--You can now download the drawing video, save and play.

As I mentioned, the last video was too big for photobucket <_<

So I just uploaded it to the site and it's now done. This is not a skit, just us drawing and saying thank you under our Willow tree with the sun going down. The site upload does not include that fancy view window so you must download it and hopefully have RealPlayer or Windows Media Player to play it.

Just download to your computer and double click it, if you have something that plays it, it will work. :dance:

it took forever for media player to buffer it for me. at first it was really choppy each time i hit play, and it kept stopping itself. it took it 5-10 minutes before i could watch it straight through.

Matt
05-17-2009, 01:48 PM
yep, that was the longest one!

I've got it downloaded on my desktop, but when I try to open it, it tells me that it's not a movie file? I dunno.

Very Nice!

I'm currently waiting for it to buffer - opened straight away in windows media player for me.

Congrats to Ari :huglove: I'm so pleased for you, you're always in for everything so it's uber cool to see you win the grand prize!

I'm so chuffed!! I've had an awful weekend - no internet connection since Thursday, the kids took my cell phone outside and lost it on Friday, so I wasn't able to phone Patrick while he was here :cry: and still can't find it, plus my daughter lost the necklace Rob bought me for Christmas...so, I quickly logged on last night when we got our internet back up to post in the Lost thread...didn't even think to look in here :blush: But winning this and the Black House/Talisman set (in a different thread) has absolutely made my day :grouphug:

Thanks Sam :D

Me too Woofer...but only because I actually have credit for a change. I usually just use it as an alarm clock :lol:

ROFL! I understand. We have woof to woof for free; otherwise, I use it as an alarm clock.
