I have been so worried about my pal's package not showing up until this week (a postal note got missed), I totally forgot about the contest.

I had a number of entries---you guys really know how to spoil your Pals! But there was a very clear winner who went way above and beyond for her pal.

Robyn, you won!

That's Robyn, of Knit Purl Mama. Would you like to tell everyone exactly how much you spent? *grin* Ladies and gentlemen, she went over by more than I spent totally---and, ahem, I hit three digits.... Yes, Robyn, you are one excellent Secret Spoiler!

Email me and let's chat about a good prize that fits with your crafty interests.

Just posting quickly to link two really worth-while fundraisers.

The first is the "Friends of Vinnie" 4 Paws Sake fundraiser. For details, please visit Knoobie Knitter's blog. What a cute schnoodle!

The second fundraiser is Ravelraiser '08. If you haven't already experienced the wonder and awe of Ravelry, you'll likely not understand why people all over the world are coming together to raise money for another server for Ravelry. For those who are aware, did you know about the amazing prizes?

Yes! It's a contest to raise funds. Every $10 donated is one entry and there are a lot of prizes! I don't know what the original goal amount was, but the crafters on Ravelry are raising amazing amounts of money! I love this site and the people I've met there!

Give what you can, if you can.
