We Have a Winner!

We sold over 100 raffle tickets for the Babybean Quilt Raffle. Mom put the names on pieces of paper, and put them all in this bowl, and I picked the winner. The winner is Lisa from Alabama, and I have sent an email announcing the good news.

Lisa's blog is No Jumping From Bridge and she does cat adoptions. Her cats are: Leo (a striped tabby), Sammy (ginger & white), Maggie (a tortie), Cocoa (a black cat) & Scully (a ginger kitty). Lisa wants a quilt with all colors and she likes blue and green.

Mombean was astonished at how well the raffle did, and was very happy. I heard Babybean in the background while Mom was on the phone, and she sounds good to me!

Mom and I want to thank all the cats and their Beans in the Blogosphere who bought tickets to help Babybean. We've said it before, the Cat Blogosphere is filled with the most wonderful folks on the whole planet!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Concatulations, Lisa!

Tennis, Tennis, Tennis

Mom's been watching the US Open. She's sewing Gizzy quilts as she watches, and we check my email fairly regularly. The Babybean Raffle Tickets have been selling well. And of course our big Holiday Gizzy event will happen on Sunday at Noon. It's gonna be a big weekend at our place this weekend!

What's Good for the Goose is...

Hi Everybody! Jasmine here...

Earlier this week you saw this picture of Millie snoozing on my quilt.
Don't think I haven't noticed. You know they say, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander..."

Yes, this is me, Jasmine, on Millie's quilt.

Mom's finally got the button up so you can buy a Raffle ticket for a Gizzy quilt of your choice of colors (plus shipping, if you live in the US). Such a deal for $5.00. (Buy one or two or three...) The raffle benefits Monty Q's Babybean, who was badly burned a couple of weeks ago, and whose medical bills are thousands and thousands of green papers.

And... today is Mrs Mr Big's birthday. Pop on over to Roxy's blog and wish her a Happy Birthday.

You Got Questions? I Got Answers

1. Dragonheart was worried about what time it would be in Germany when the Holiday Gizzy Quilts go on sale. When it is noon here, it is 6:00 PM in Germany. Here is a link to a Time Converter.

2. Derby said Mom should stop and smell the roses. She did! She bought Mrs Big a ginormous bouquet of 18 roses when Mrs. Big got her Black Belt. She said they smelled GREAT!

3. Whenever I post a tummy shot, I always get comments from beans saying they want to kiss it. Well, let me set the record straight... Nobody, but nobody, touches my tummy.


4. Mom got my website back up. It's got all old stuff on it, nothing new. But everything works. Tomorrow she has to add a new page for the Babybean Raffle. Stay tuned! How does Mom do all this stuff? She likes to be Busy. She says she doesn't do Bored real well.

5. How do Jasmine and I make sure we get enough attention from her? Well Jasmine jumps up onto her worktable and plops herself right on top of whatever Mom is doing. I just walk over to Mom and MEOW as loud as I can, over and over and over and over. Fortunately, both strategies work very well.

6. Why haven't I left so many comments on the blogs? Well, Mom has been so busy. We try to visit as often as we can, and we try to visit everybody at least every other day, but we don't always have time to comment. We haven't forgotten anybody!

A Raffle for Babybean

I told Mom to make a special Gizzy quilt and hold a raffle to help Monty Q's fambly with the squillion green papers they will surely need to pay the medical bills for Babybean.

Mom's gotta go day hunting, so she hasn't worked out all the details yet, but here is what we came up with:

• Mom will make a special Gizzy quilt.
• She will make it Pink and White and Green, because those are the pretty colors in Babybean's dress.
• She will put a linky to a tip jar from Paypal on this blog later. The price for each raffle "ticket" will be $5.00.
• Cats, woofies, beans, anybody can contribute, and you can get as many raffle tickets as you want. Mom will pay shipping inside the US, and half the shipping if the raffle winner lives outside the US.
• All the names will be put into a hat, and the winner will get the special Babybean Commemorative Gizzy Quilt.
• All the funds raised will go to Monty Q's fambly.
• Mom will cover the Paypal charges.
• There will be a deadline, but we don't know what it should be yet.

Leave your opinions and suggestions about this raffle in the comments of this post. We'll finalize the details later.

Thanks, members of the Cat Blogosphere, you're the best!
