I'd like to start getting some money for year end awards, so I thought I'd do either a raffle or a silent auction. What would be some things you would suggest to put up for it? I can definately offer a paint job on a Little Bit, Stablemate or MicroMini but is there anything else that would be better?

Are you wanting to do multiple items Erin? And does it have to be model horse related? Just asking as I'd be willing to offer a custom equine pencil portrait, drawn from a photo(s) of the winners horse or any horse. I have several drawings available already that can be choosen from as well... Here are some examples of my work: PS. The pics look terrible on my monitor, if you want, I can email better pics.  -Shannon Diamond S Ranch Autymn Moone    |

Multiple items might be nice, simply to get more interest.  Wow Shannon! That is amazing! Those are wonderful pictures! I will definately take you up on the offer. Would it be fair to say if you donate something you get 20 points that can be added to the point totals for a horse of your choice? Also, would a raffle or silent auction be better?\ |

Nice drawings! Those are amazing, I hope I can draw like that someday! Anyways, I think a silent auction would be neat! I wish I could donate items, but at this point, I don't have anything to donate.  -Bre |

No worries Bre. You don't have to donate something and the end of the year is a long ways off, so I'm really not in a huge rush either. Trying to plan ahead though. |

Thanks guys!! ;D Maybe I can donate one of the current ones I have, I can send pics of each to you Erin, if you want, so you can decide, or I can just pick one and than do a winner choice drawing, head portrait.  And I like the idea of a silent auction myself Oh and the point thing is cool. |

Whatever you want to do is totally fine! And 2 donations equals 40 points to one horse of yours or 2 of your horses. Unless we get another opinion then, silent auction it will be! |

Thank you Emily And I do do commissions. I've had people come to me to do horse and dog portraits for friends B-days and Christmas as well. Hmmm, maybe I can do the custom donation for a head portrait of a horse or dog, since not everyone has a horse. Here is an example of a dog I did, sorry, it's the best pic I have of him  What do you think Erin? |
