Hey y'all...
Amy and Jeff (and Natalie) stopped by yesterday and dropped off all of the remaining raffle winners stuff to be shipped.
There are about 40 packages for us to pack and ship. We have started already, but it may take some time to get all of them out.
I just wanted to keep you updated....

Hi Rosetree...I noticed on the raffle prize list Swag posted that I won three prizes: 86 recipes - New Orleans edition, Mardi Gras Indians Book, and Norah Jones live in New Orleans DVD. I can't believe I won so many great things...woohoo! :)
I'd like to pay for the shipping of the items. Can I please send you some $$$ and if so should I send it to your studio?
Thanks very much,
Cindy Marshall

I'm going to be pretty weighed down with stuff going to CFF. I'd rather ship it (unless it is a CD or something like that!)

If anyone is going to CFF and has won a CD in the raffle, I will be able to carry those to Joisey....

Mark,
Just an idea for general comment....
I am happy to pay for shipping of any prize that I won and didn't get and it seems like others feel the same way.....
so - what if you just slipped a note in the box on how much it cost to ship? Those who want to reimburse you can - and those who don't - won't....
thanks !

I believe I won the the Fats Domino photo and Dan was nice enough to send me an email connecting me to Katy. I will definitely reimburse for shipping, pls just include in shipment.
On a crazy note, if I believe the raffle winner list, I am going to Disney World (or maybe my brother with his kids). How do I find out more about that unbelievable prize?
Thanks again to all. Jeff, hope you guys have settled back in to your home nicely.

So I get home and there is a ups box waiting from rosetree. I thought I collected my raffle wins at the patry. I open it and low and behold two bottles from Old New Orleans! Excellent. I didn't know I won.
I know what I'm drinking this Friday listening to Stax.
Thanks for shipping Mark. I'm mailing you a shipping check Wed.

Enjoy the booty! ;) :D

and I too get home this afternoon with ups boxes from Rosetree at my door. The kids are squealing and jumping up & down "there's packages for you mom" "what is it? what is it?" "yay! It's Bluedog! from "'Why is Bluedog Blue?'"! :D signed too!
and a FABULOUS book "The Definitive Illustrated Encyclopedia Jazz & Blues" very nice! AND my rosetree gift certificate:)
It's Christmas in May!!! A big hug & kiss to all that participated in putting this together & the donators of such GREAT stuff! A win win win!
RT check for shipping will be in mail ASAP thank you!

Rosetree, THANK YOU so much for doing this!! Mark and Bren are so sweet, we showed up at the studio last Monday with a car full of prizes and they just smiled and said they were happy to help :)
Thanks to all of the winners for helping pay postage too -- it's a lot of prizes and really adds up. We used to say on the website that we would charge for shipping, but wondered just how in the heck we would logistically pull that off -- the note in the box is brilliant, thanks for the idea Michele :)
Nash, I'll email you & Nate about Disney World (it's on my to do list) ;) I hope the overpass finally worked out!!

Got my first package today with the Dan Morgan painting and the Montana print, both safe and sound. Thanks!!
The Montana print just moved to the top of the framing list. Have to find a place for the painting. Tried it over the fireplace, but it doesn't really work. Plus, the boss isn't home tonight and has not seen it yet. Although she loves most of my New Oleans art, she kind of inimated that we had enough when this year's psoters came last week. I was clearly told that the master bedroom is off limits!
Ozzie- If you read this, I'd be interested to know the history of the painting. How you came to get it,etc.

Got My Signed Patry Poster Today!!! :D :D
I didn't know I won either! Thank You For shipping it RT! The Ups Guy must be loving you lately!
I remember seeing the poster sitting on the table under the balcony, I said to myself wow thats really cool! And now its mine! But do you want to know the best part????
It's Got a Jello stain on it!!!
How's that for a certificate of authenticity!:D ;)

Nothing too interesting to tell Griff. Dan Morgan jumped on the bored after the storm and was promoting sales of prints for a painting he was doing of Preservation Hall. Supposedly giving a chunk of the profit to NOMC (I think). I contacted him and asked about purchasing the original, which I did.
I really like the painting, but it just doesn't do it in our joint. Finally I hung it over our old piano (which actually looks like it belongs in Pres Hall!), but that room is pretty dark and it did neither the painting nor the room any justice. Of course now I need to get something nice and colourful for over the piano! ;)
Hope you like it.

Same here! The doorbell just rang and UPS dropped a box at my front door. I noticed the Rosetree return address right away but was surprised because I thought I'd gotten everything from Jeff during JF (thanks again, Jeff, for delivering the Rock 'n Bowl tickets and Shammar cd while you had so much else going on). I had no idea I had won the Kukui Nut necklace and matching earrings. What a wonderful surprise! They are truly beautiful and I will wear them with pride.
Thanks to everyone who makes this place a wonderful experience, which means everyone of course!
Postage reimbursement will be sent ASAP.
