FIRST, I have to say how much family love shines through in those videos. It is a sheer joy to see. I couldn't help noticing how Raffle Boy kept *petting* Rosebud. Lovey dubby
So funny when the moment it was over Raffle Boy & Big Boy wanted to run off & play their own raffle game with those winning slips of paper. Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious!


Now

I would like to thank each vendor for donating fabulous prizes. We do appreciate it & we have so much fun with our raffles & the video of the winning tickets.

Thank you Dave & Trish & the kids for being part of our lives & creating ATP.

And

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! I won!!!!!!! Hilarious! Hilarious! Hilarious! Happy dance!

Congrats to all the other winners! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

This was donnabking's first raffle participation as she is new to ATP & she WON! See, it doesn't take a bundle of tickets to win. It only takes one. I have no idea how many she bought but I'm just saying........ Congratulations Donna!

I'm glad ya'll liked the video. Smiling We always look forward to sitting down and making them.

Hey, make sure you let the companies know directly that you appreciate them. If/when you place an order, let them know you learned about them through ATP and that you're grateful for the raffles. Don't hesitate to post on their facebook wall and/or contact them directly with a short "Thanks". It encourages them and lets them know that it's worth their time and resources to donate prizes to our contests. Smiling
