The rain chain was well received at the auction.  That is a relief!  My dad donated an armadillo that was built by a former employee.   I found out at the MS Olympia Walk that the armadillo was hugely popular.  There was a bidding war over it.  Jenn asked if I could make about five more to give to the friends that didn't win the item at the auction.  I can recreate the item with a bit of work.  It kind of cracks me up that such a small item was such a huge hit.  I have said this before...who the heck can anticipate what people are going to want to buy?  I have signed on to making five or six duplicates for her friends.  How funny is that?
