Honour your spirit - DRAW

Aw come on...I want a few more names in the basket.

What have you done that is giving, helping, kind and geneous? I know you're that kind of people, you know you're that kind of people. It's actually getting off our duffs and doing what needs to be done that make families, communities and the world a good place to be.

I know we have people who are reluctant to crow about their good deeds. That's okay, just tell us one thing you've done that you feel good about. It's okay to feel good about doing good. Don't be shy. I would like a few more little rolled up bits of paper to pick from..the eye scrunched, bite my tongue as I stir around in the little papers, pick.

TIme is of the essence, she says trying to create a false sense of urgency. I hope to do the draw sometime next week.

Make sure your own name goes in. You're one of the most generous people on here.

We paid tuition for one of the girls from our church to bible school. We also donate to salvation army. I donated chickens to a family who has not had work for 10 months due to back issues on the dad (single dad of 4).

Can I put my neighbors name in? She is housing 5 very small chickens and 2 young turkeys for me for nothing! She does not have a comp or she would be on here! I keep her filled in on the going ons! Lol

Smoky, you are in. I am going to be a big meanie and draw the line at only submitting member names, even though your neighbour sounds very good. BUT...the winner is getting TWO baskets, so if you win, you can always give one to your neighbour.

FOwler, that was a kind thing to say. I do not need a basket. I need to get rid of baskets!

bump

I thought I could try!! Now just be sure to draw my name so I can share!! Lol

Okay..chores are done. Coffee in hand. Time to get this draw done. I figure it's been bumped enough times that anyone who wanted in would be in so today's the day.

Not going to post pics, too lazy. You will just have to trust my honesty.

Reaching for the little container I have all my crumpled up names in. It used to be a gelato container. Lemon gelato. Oh My Gordon, mouth waters at the thought!

Shaking container to get it all mixed up..

Lid off, jumbling hand around, little paper out, and the winner is.... AUTHENTICFARM

AuthenticFarm, you need to pm me your mailing address and I will pop these in the mail to you.

And now just for the heck of it, because I can, because I rule the world (in my own little kingdom) I am going to draw for a 2nd place basket winner (repeat above process)
and the winner is...(man these little wads of paper are hard to unfold! Who did this anyway?) KIEBLER77 Kiebler, you will need to pm me your mailing information.

Congrats to you both and thank you everyone for playing! And even more, thank you for being good people who make a difference.

Congratulations AUTHENTICFARM and KIEBLER77 I am happy for you and so very jealous at the same time!!

Thanks Uno for providing the fun, anticipation and of course the baskets for an entertaining trip.

YAY!! I'm thrilled that you pulled my name Uno...not only because it is an honor to receive a gift of something that was hand made...but also because truth be told...I love the look of these baskets...but I can not even sew on a button! Lol. Needless to say as much as I love them I probably couldn't make one on my own

Truthfully though....I think the real winners are all of us. All of those people out there who give their time, money, companionship, aid, anything they can think of to give. Not because they have to, but because they truly find joy and fulfillment by helping others instead of just thinking of themselves. All of those out there who truly love to give...rather than to receive. These are the real winners.

A great thread Uno...and a fantastic job to everyone for paying it forward!

Congratulations both of you! What a great thing to win. You will LOVE them!

Uno, you're wonderful.

Not really. But thanks.

Congrats to the winners!

Congrates to the winners ,and I admire all of those who entered and told of there good deeds ,you are all worthy of winning ....

Congrats to the winners!!

Congrats to the winners and thank you Uno

Thank you so much Uno!!

AuthenticFarm and Kiebler77, I got your baskets in the mail today. Took me a while to find suitable boxes. Finally had to beg some from the bakery. Hope by mid next week they should arrive and then you have to post pics.

It has been my pleasure having a little contest and mailing your goodies to you. HOpe we all honour our spirits. I think we do.

Congrats!

Thank you Uno

I love this group!!!

I received my baskets on Friday - thank you Uno!!! They are gorgeous! My oldest daughter is plotting to steal them away from me, but I will prevail!

I'll take a picture and post it later ...

Finally got a moment to take photos of these beautiful baskets! They are totally awesome! Thank you so much Uno! I keep one on my desk as a reminder for me to keep on giving ...

WOw. Your photos make them look awesome. Awesomer than they actually are. I'm impressed! Glad you enjoy them, my heart is smiling.

Those are SO great!

Oh i love those harvest colors in the bottom one!!

Ok Uno...sorry for taking so long to post my pic of your beautiful baskets. I received them late last week but have just been so darned crazy busy these days with work and Christmas right around the corner!

Thank you, thank you for these!! They are beautiful and definitely something I would presently NOT be able to make myself....well...I could try....but they would probably come out looking more like a strange puppy toy that had been chewed beyond recognition, rather than look like anything resembling a basket! Lol!
