    Hi everyone! Thanks for all the last minute action!

    I'll honor any PMs that I get prior to noon as long as payments are in by 5pm.

    In keeping with the "mystery" theme, we are going to just mail out the prizes and you'll have to wait and watch the mail to see if you were one of the big winners :) As promised, EVERYONE will get something! feel free to post in the thread once you get yours! Stephen and I will try to have things out in the next week or so, though there are going to be LOTS of packages to prepare! We haven't gotten the mystery box itself yet but I think it's scheduled to arrive to us in the next 2 days.

    Some prizes are being sponsored by other folks and I can't tell you for sure their mailing time frames...I'm sure it won't be too long.

    Thanks again to all who have contributed prizes, entered the drawing and supported us here in the thread with bumps! This will be a very successful fundraiser and we look forward to sharing with you all the final dollar amount raised!!

    Kelly & Stephen

    Today is the BIG DAY! Many of us already have the Blacks in our hearts and thoughts. I am watching for updates and will post anything I hear here for you guys. Keep sending those positive thoughts!

    The Grand Total raised for this giveaway....
    $1258.38!!

    (the figure is a little funky because we received some entries in non-US funds that had to be converted)

    I think that brings the total of how much has been raised on the boards and through t-shirt sales to almost $7,000 total (?!) Rob will have to correct me if I am wrong!

    THANK YOU ALL SO, SO MUCH!!! Words can not even begin to express how amazing I find each and every one of you!

    Stephen and I now have 50+ packages to put together...! That doesn't even count the ones that OTHER people have "sponsored" and will be mailing themselves. So please- be patient with us!! ;)

    We also picked the 'big' winners last night (!!!) and we expect to receive the mystery box at our home in the next couple of days. Once we add our 'extras' to it, it will be on its journey to its new home! :-D

    you are all awesome! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    Stay HANNAH AND MICHELLE STRONG!!!

    WORDS FROM DAVE!!
    (stolen from facebook and now here to share with you all!)

    "DONE! Just spoke to Hannah Black surgeon. All done! No problems. Kidney working like a charm! I wont get to see her for another hour and a half..... WHEW!!"
    and
    "Michael and I have been in to see Michelle. Our hero lady is doing great! In some pain but happy and blessed and relieved and more happy!!!"

    Such fantastic news, such a relief, it's just so amazing medicine can do these things, and all the best to Hannah and Michelle for speedy recoveries O:-)

    I saw another FB post this morning- (Sorry Dave, been stalking you out for info there as I don't want to text/email and interrupt what is surely a busy time!)

    This is a summary of what Dave said a couple of hours ago:
    Michelle is up and walking a little last night and this morning too. Michael (son) stayed with mom all night :) Michelle is "tearing through oatmeal and a fruit bowl". She is planning to go down and see Hannah as soon as she is able to.
    Hannah has been resting well all night with minimal pain episodes, which she is tolerating very well. She is eating ice cream and sipping water. They plan to try and get her up and moving today at some point.

    So we received our mystery boxes from 10c last night....and after adding tons of MORE stuff to it, I gotta say, one of you fine people is going to be pretty stoked! We TOTALLY hooked you up!!!

    Maybe if the winner already has some of the things that they are getting, they will consider passing things on to someone who doesn't!

    this should be going out in the next few days, along with all the other prizes!! a few are already on their way!

    BIG THANKS AGAIN TO YOU ALL!!!!

    OMG!!!!!! I was out running errands, get home and notice a Mystery Box on my front porch. Weird, I think, because I got mine last week. Bring it in and notice that it is from Stephen and Kelly! My jaw dropped - I never win anything! I am beyond stoked! I'm going to wait until my husband gets home to open it, otherwise he might get steamed! I might not be able to post pics until later this weekend, as we are going to a concert tonight and a baseball game tomorrow, but I will post for sure! Thank you so much, Kelly and Stephen! What an awesome place this is! You are the best! I will definitely pass on things I already have - maybe set up a mini- raffle for the Black's!

    Oh and my TM tix for Cincy and Milwaukee arrived today, too! :D
