I recevied my Giveaway item several days ago but have been dealing with a tragic emergency and have not been on here much the past week. Needless to say Matt, I did receive the Remarqued Little Sisters of Eluria and it blows me away! Simply Awesome - I will get a pic of me and my prize uploaded one of these days soon!

I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the stuff.

My truck is being hauled away today so I couldn't bring another wave of boxes. But the next that I ship out will be all of it.

And I don't care about the truck! That book is...OMG cool.

Ditto on getting pics up asap. Mine arrived yesterday, but I had a crazy day at work and was up until after 11PM baking cookies for an employee luncheon today. See the D&B thread for more on why not tonight (tee hee). Maybe tomorrow? I hope!

This thread has been moved out of the 2009 Fund Raiser forum to here because I wanted it to stay active.

Other threads from there will be moved in here because we have to continue to track the Grand Prize
