Hi long time no see! We’ve not officially entered hurricane season 2008 and here’s to no hurricanes this year! :) Thanks for all the doantions, we’re almost to 10,500!! If you have emailed me thanks so much nd you’re in the drawing that I will do shortly. I hope everyone is have a great spring/summer!
Allyson over at Simply Sock Yarn has a challenge for everyone. Go read her BLOG about what she is doing for The House that Yarn Built.
Sorry for the blog silence. We’re over $7000 now and climbing. Keep donating and the next drawing will be up soon. If you’ve already donated, thank you and your name has been added to the drawing. Don’t forget to email me at christy@thehousethatyarnbuilt.com Don’t worry, if you’ve emailed me and it hasn’t bounced back to you, that means I have your email and you have been added. I’d love to have our total reach $10,000 by June 1, the first day of hurricane season. Can we do it??
Thanks again!!
Thanks to everyone’s donations, we are now over $7,000!!! If you have emailed me and have not received a reply, please know that I have all the emails and your names have been added. I had some email isses, that I hope are now straightened out. Keep up the good work!
I have decided to start off with five winners. Don’t worry, if you haven’t won yet, your name will stay in the drawing until the end. I used a random number generator and the magic numbers were 43,15,63,9,64. Those numbers correspond with the names:Laurie B-Namaste Knitting Bag donated by The Yarn Grove.Jessica D- Hanne Falkenberg Lastrada Alicia L-10 skeins of Rowan Summer Tweed ; Janet S. Hanne Falkenberg Ballerina; Bethany B;-The Shaeffer Kathleen Waffle Stitch Jacket kit. I will be emailing the winners. Thanks for donating and keep up the good work!! If you have previously offered to donate prizes, please email me at christy@thehousethatyarnbuilt.com and please put in the subject line “Drawing Donation”. I would love to be able to give more away.
Yay! We went over $5,000 this weekend!! I’m working on adding the most recent names to the drawing and I’ll be announcing the first round of prizes this week. Don’t worry if you don’t win this time around, I’ll be doing another one soon! KEEP SPREADING THE WORD!
Heads up, be sure to listen to Stash and Burn next Tuesday! Jenny and Nicole will be announcing a new tie-in with The House That Yarn Built. I’m super excited about what these ladies have planned.
Look what the fabulous Jane at The Yarn Grove sent as a donation for one of our drawings! It’s a Vintage Knitting Bag from Namaste. Thank you Jane!!
A very generous soul sent me this huge box of goodies to share as door prizes. Don’t forget, in order to be put in the yarn basket for the drawing, you have to email me at christy@thehousethatyarnbuilt.com or christy@misplacedsouthernbelle.com to tell me you donated. I’m aiming to do the first drawing once we hit $5,000. We are just over $2,100 so almost half way to the first drawing! Keep up the awesome work and don’t forget to get the word out! 
I just received the first batch of donations for the drawings and let me tell you this box is a doozy. Here’s a hint, it includes two Hanne Falkenburg kits. Now, if you want to be included in the drawings, please make sure you email me to tell me that you donated to christy@thehousethatyarnbuilt.com or christy@misplacedsouthernbelle.com I will be photographing the contents over the next couple of days, so stay tuned! The donor wants to remain anonymous, so I will respect that wish but I want to take this opportunity to publicly say a huge THANK YOU! You know who you are, so from the bottom of my heart, THANKS!
YAY! At last check, our donations are over 1600.00 and I want to thank everyone who has donated money as well as yarn for the drawings. I still have a lot of work to do on the site, but I’m CSS and HTML challenged, so bear with me! I want to also thank everyone who has linked to this site and to the Make It Right site. We’re in this for the long term. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. For those of you who are on Ravelry, please join our group, The House That Yarn Built. More updates later as my connectivity comes back online.
