    before we get to the grand prize winner, who will have their pick of any of the prizes listed on the first 2 pages, I need to ramble on for a bit.
    Never in my PJ fandomness have I seen this level of giving, support, love and friendship. Never and there has been a lot. TRUST ME. A LOT.
    This has blown away all things in the past. Whether it was the help and donations in 2009 in closing out the Spectrum (happy 7th anniversary SPECTRUMMMM!!)..or any of the other fundraisers and things done here in the forums since then...this has been the top one. I am just blown away.
    I mean the level of giving here was just off the charts. So much so that at one point, I was turning down people offering donation items simply because I wouldn't be able to keep up with everything and i would be drawing winners until next year...but then the financial donations kept coming in so i decided i owed it to everyone to start accepting prize donations again and voila, they just kept coming in...

    So here we are...drum roll please...
    Before expenses of buying prizes, shipping those prizes, paypal fees (when we had to start incurring them) and so on, are you sitting down?
    DRUM ROLL MR CAMERON....

    .,...

    For OYR & GTL, to be split 50/50 after expenses, we grossed well over $5K!!!
    WOW!!
    Unreal. My expectations were blown away. This helps (your help) in so many ways, I could go on and on all day. So thank you everyone. To the people who bumped and cross posted on facebook, to the people who offered prizes, to the donors, to those who came up with incentives to get more donations, and so on....we are all winners thanks to you....
    Last but not least, we have so much love here that there will be even more random prizes drawn and sent out to anyone who doesn't win anything. I will keep drawing names and send out prizes until I am out of everything!! So hang in there...if you don't hear from me, it may take weeks or months, but you may still hear from me...
    THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU GIVE & NOTHING THAT YOU TAKE...
    and now to the 1st grand prize winner where they have their choice of any prize on the list including the 96 Emek:
    Congrats go to:
    ldent42
    ...you are on the clock to pick!!
    Thank you everyone! More to come, be patient with me as I go back and forth drawing winners, getting addresses and getting things shipped out from me or from others who donated prizes.
    "The love he receives is the love that is saved"

    Just seeing this. Beyond awesome. To all who have contributed, whether by donating goods or $$, and to Dave and Tom: :bow:
