BIDDING IS NOW CLOSED!

Thanks so much to each of you who shared the page, placed a bid, and supported this years auction! Can't wait to post the Winner's List! I will try to have it up and ready for viewing by tomorrow around lunch time!

I really couldn't pull off this project without you. Thank You!

Updates... And LOTS of bids!

Just so ya'll  know... I have several bids that have not been updated yet, and I'm afraid they will not make it on the webpage before the auction ends... though I am steadily working on it! Bids are all being logged on my paper copy, and will be added to the comments as I get to them! They will still count, even if I don't have them on the site until after the closing time... (which is now just 5 mins away!)
Thanks for your patience!
