Countdown to raffle

So it's Sunday night, the night of the raffle and I just got the last of the raffle numbers e-mailed out. I also just updated the shop, a tiny little update, but I've only been home a few days so I get a pass, I've gotta start giving myself more of those. It turns out that I sold enough raffle tickets to cover another Vitreous Humor skein, so there's going to be 3 numbers drawn:
1st# -- 3 skeins of VH
2nd# -- custom monster hat knit kit
3d# -- 1 skein of VH or a monster hat knit kit

You see, I'm not doing the raffle to make scads of dough, I'm doing it because I really want people to have my yarn! I know it's expensive. I know I couldn't afford it if I didn't spin in myself. I know that there are people out there that want it but have to pay their gas bill, buy their kids a winter coat, buy soymilk for cereal etc. But because I also have to do all those things, and I barely do it each month, I can't, much as I'd like to, I can't just give out yarn for free. So, my answer is the raffle. And this time the raffle tickets covered 5 yarns! So I give away 5 yarns!

In fact, if I thought it would work I'd run the raffle all the time and just send out the tickets the day that we got enough to cover a skein or whatever and then draw that night and start it all over the next day. I don't know if that would work though. Things like that seem to lose their steam, you know?

Anyway, drawing is in little better than an hour. Yay! I always get excited to see who wins.

Below is just a couple of pics of the kids, at my folks house and SP on halloween. If I get too far behind on kid pictures you'll end up having to wade through a post of all pictures and we all know how annoying that can be.
