We had bake sales for Penny on both Sat and Sunday this week. And, we pulled out names to be raffle winners. Kirsten entered all of the prizes (18 in all) in a spreadsheet. Then, we dumped all the entries into a bag and shook it. The first name we pulled won the first prize listed -- unless it was obviously an ill fit (we had people write what sort of pets they had on the back of the raffle). If it was an ill fit, then the person won the next gift.
In tomorrow's entry, I'll write the first names of the winners, followed by what they won. This will give me time to call them!
I'll also post the total donations for the bake sale and raffles in tomorrow's posting. It's also time for more pictures of the pooch!
My husband's sister and her husband (my sister in law and her husband) also were generous in donating to the Penny fund. Rick put out a message to his sibs that we were planning a frugal Christmas. His brother's wife (also my sister in law) found out about Penny's needed surgery and explained to all of his relatives. Their generosity also made me cry!
I also received a commission check for a cat portrait and that will also go into Penny's fund.

More from Penny's mom
Penny's mom also has another blog, where she highlights paintings and other art work that she's completed. Proceeds from the art work that she's sold go to support Penny and her feline brothers and sisters.
