That is pretty cool.  It almost sounds like you are going to keep this going for awhile since you mention the 100 tickets then draw scenario. This could do bring a lot of monies into the National Puppetry Conference Alumni Scholarship fund.

For those who are not familiar with this scholarship you can check out the information on it here: http://www.oneillpuppetryconference.com/scholarships.html It is a good cause and there may even be someone here that would be eligible to for the scholarship. 

It is called wax paper Billy and you get it at the grocery store.   Ok I know you where looking for something else, but would that work. I know you can get the blank "sticker" paper that you use in your computer but I don't know if you can get just the paper.  I know I have seen in the past butchers paper that is waxed on one side but not sure where you get it.

Sorry to hear this.  Hang in there.

Isn't there an option for tracking things when you send them via USPS?  Maybe just registered letter would do it.  It might cost more up front, but might save you headaches and extra cost in the long run.

Congratulations!

Actually you don't need to buy more bandwidth for the image to load faster you just need to optimize it for the web. What did you use to create the image?  Is there a Save For Web option or something that would let you reduce the resolution?  Also the orginal image is size is 444 X 444 pixels yet you are displaying it at 380 X 380 pixels by resizeing it via HTML.  This means the browser still has to download the large image even though you want to display it smaller.   Kind of hard to explain but bottom line is you need to optimize the image.

I would say that the one thing you forgot was to list it here. You can do that two ways.  You can post just the link to the auction and or you can past the item id for it between the ebay tags and then the auction shows up live.

If you do get the Clearco brand, let us know how you like it.   It sounds like it would be pretty much the same as the 3M from the description.

I've used acrylic paint before like the person in the video. More then likely Rite Dye would have close to the same effect as the acrylic paint.  To really dye fur you have to use acid dyes and I am just not willing to take that step.  Way toxic and hard to do.

We are using Concrete5 on Billies sspuppets.com site that I host.  I just found it and decided to use Billy as a guinea pig.   It is free and open source.
