Ursula, you are so right. I love this site.

Sharon, I was inspired by your generosity. My measly acorns are nothing compared to your painting but the person in line after your work is chosen might like them.

We have great prizes from the businesses too. I've learned about businesses I hadn't even heard of because they donated to a NARR. I wish Santa Rosa was in this one. I have a long list of things I want to get from there. I was dreaming of a $50 gift cert for my 50% off of the already 75% reduced prices. Hilarious! Hilarious!
If you haven't checked out Santa Rosa lately it's worth the look. The 50% off discount is good through the end of the month. VIP50 is the code to use.

Me too. I had combed their site for things I wanted in the event they donated something and I won it. Also, last October's NARR had a company called High Country Gardens participate, and I would've loved something from them. There is a place called Gardino's Nursery that I found online recently that has a lot of great stuff, too.

Regardless, there are some GREAT donations this month and I'm very excited about them! I have a few favorites picked out already that I'm really excited donated things again. I definitely can't complain about them at all. Thumbs up

Well I'm on my way down to Heathrow again to reserve my tickets to come and get my prize. I done this four times, and had to go and cancel them again when I didn't win. They are getting fed up with me at British Airways. Better win this time. LOL.
