Fancy winning some of Schoons manuscript?

[Cathie!]

Most of us on geek are women.

We have breasts don't we?

Now you're just showing off Cathie :wink2: (she says, a few breastfed children down the line :cry: :irked: )

Anyway I got my tickets, not as many as most others but every little helps I guess.

Sonia

lol....maybe a bit of an exaggeration on my part (a few more breastfed children down the line)!

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to update you will on the "Battle of the Internet Web Sites". As you know, Beautytech.com and the thenailgeek.com have graciously donated a tremendous amount of time and energy to this charity fundraising event. And what better charity event than the 3-Day Walk sponsored by the Susan G. Koman Foundation for Breast Cancer Research? This world renowned charity has touch the lives of people all around the world and is considered an important source of funding for cutting-edge breast cancer research. The "Raffle" is just for fun, but the money it will raise is seriously needed, so anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated (and is 100% tax-deductible).

Each day I look at the total and can't believe that out of 3000+ and a tremendous push from Sam we are only up to just less than £500, I find it even harder to believe that beautytech are even less. Come on now, even if you don't want the prize and who doesn't, surely we can make it past the 3 figures soon?

Hi Cathy,
I love your spirit and wanted to personally thank you for your support. I've also read the other e-mails in this discussion and I could hear the “we can do it” spirit in those messages as well! Thank you to everyone who is involved in any way in the fight against breast cancer. I know there are other events going on in your country and many of your local techs have also been very active in this great effort. My hats off to all of you!
I've always known it was true, but it's wonderful to see confirmation of my deep believe that all around the world, no matter where you go… nail people are good people.

I have now added a new element to users post headings that indicate how many tickets they I have record of them buying (if any).
The more tickets purchased... the more Breast Cancer ribbons they get on their postbit

If you have purchased tickets and have no indicator... drop me a line. I have to manually add those that are sent through the post.

i bought tickets - via snail mail - but i don't have any pink ribbons showing....found the lost form and have posted off the money yesterday - do the pink ribbons not show until sam has got the cheque?

 

[The Geek]

Yup. I have to manually add your purchase when I get the cheque unless done through PayPal.

 

[bimbogeri]

Well I've just bought 10... not a huge amount to start with but I hope every little helps.
Was planning on doing some Breast Cancer awareness nail art, and Sherrie's fab other half Addie made me some fabbo ribbon design airbrushing masks, I only hope that with my opening date getting pushed back and back I won't end up offering the art at a time when people won't be so interested in it.
Remember everyone, though, March is Lavender Month, which is especially dedicated to raising the awareness of breast cancer in younger women, so remember to get those ribbons out then too!
Lol x

 

[bimbogeri]

By the way, how many tickets do we have to buy before we get those purty pink ribbons by our names?

 

[Tickled Pink!]

Yup. I have to manually add your purchase when I get the cheque unless done through PayPal.

thanks for that sam...i was SO ashamed at not having any ribbons, that i've just bought some more via paypal as well as ones via snail mail - that cheque is winging its way to your desk as we speak...can't be giving all those geeks out there a hard time about not buying when it looked like i hadn't bought any myself.

 

[Tickled Pink!]

i've paid with pay pal now BUT still no ribbons....

 

[The Geek]

Thats becasue the transaction wasnt carried through as per my post in the other thread.

In fact... its getting to be such a butt pain with so many threads on this subject... I am locking this one... go here to make more posts on this topic
