I got DVDs of Reba (seasons 1-4), a necklace and pendant, a box from India with a jewel on it, and my first tatoo, and the Autumn test paint #3 Hawks Castle from my bf. My mom bought me $300 worth of clothes (I am suppose to use it mostly for my sister’s wedding) and she is going to fly me and my bf anywhere we want.
I gave my bf a guitar that he sold and regretted it (man his reaction was priceless) and I also gave him Season 10 of Frasier.Ohhh, I meant to tell you congrats on that Castle. I wanted it too, but I didn’t want to be too greedy. I love all the notes on the bottom and it has more autumn color than mine does. I was way different from the first two….look at the castle pics in my thread http://www.windstoneeditions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5900
Also congrats to everyone who got what they wanted! Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!
One of my 11 dogs also puked on the sofa this Christmas Eve…so don’t feel alone. I have so many animals that I usually get some type of bodily function gift two or three times a week, hehehehehe
Hehehe,
I got some “Light Blue” Dolce & Gabbana perfume. I got the hubby some T-shirts with different Buick GS and Buick Regals, with funny comments. The nieces all got cash from us and the baby nephew got a whole bunch of Fisher Price toys 🙂
What did Santa bring you and your family?

We’re all okay, but my tire is gone, the rotor is gone, and the brake assembly is all ground to crap, and my poor husband and our roommate are out in the cold waiting for the tow truck.
Of course the local towing company guys are all at church, and a family stranded on the side of a steep grade take second place. Wanted us to wait 2 hours for their convienence, nope, I think not.
It’s Xmas eve, it’s past 8 pm, dinner is not made, kids are still awake, and Santa isn’t likely to be able to come for hours yet, due to most of his crew being stranded on the side of the road waiting for a stupid tow truck!
The really weird thing is, we can’t figure out why the tire loosened up and came off, but I will tell you, it was a bit scary.

How Horrible! I am so glad you are okay and did not get in a wreck or get hurt because of the tire! Everything else is fixable, except your health and safety and that of your family!
It will still be a Merry Christmas, because #1 you have each other and #2 you have Chocolate Christmas Mice to eat!!!!
Merry New Orleans Christmas! I bet you guys didn’t know that Santa and His Reindeer Used to Live right Here!
(I just uploaded it)
Please watch these videos, they will give you an insight into a New Orleans style Christmas. Both these videos are pre Katrina and celebrate all that is funny and good about New Orleans!
I sent a copy of the Christmas CD with my Christmas package to the Windstone crew. So this will give them an opportunity to see the music videos of the songs on the CD’s 🙂 Enjoy and Merry Christmas!!!

I think the bidder you noticed driving the prices up on those actions with no feed back was me. I was willing to pay almost $750 for the Blue Sunburst griffin, I bid on the barred wing female #3, I also bid on the Blue Sun dragon. That’s the piece I really wanted, but I didn’t get. I don’t mind paying top dollar for something I want. I’m not responsible for all the high bids, but if someone outbids me they shouldn’t complain that it was too expensive, they should have just let me win. I don’t ebay a lot becuase I never win, you can’t get feedback unless you win, so it’s not fair to assume just because someone doesn’t have any feedback they aren’t serious.I don’t think anyone is accusing you of anything. All of us have done what you did, when we want a certain piece.
We are talking about people who are hacking into other people’s accounts and making bogus bids.
Windstone and this forum needs people like you who have the funds and want to purchase special pieces. It helps Windstone and it helps keep the value of Windstone pieces from depreciating.
Most of us understand that sometimes pieces go for more than we want to pay. The big concern is making sure someone isn’t artificially raising bids just to be spiteful.
I hope you get a special piece! I am sure there is a lot more special stuff coming before the Windstone move!!! I am sure you will be able to snag a Griffin if you really want one 🙂
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I hope everyone gets something special from Santa this year 🙂 Maybe a Windstone perhaps?
Jennifer wrote:Indeed, some of the highest legitimate auction endings have gone to new collectors, or non-forum users (someone new swooping in to bid). Restricting bidders could seriously hurt Windstone’s income from eBay auctions. 🙁
I agree! We don’t want bidders like Rumsey.2007 who is fairly new, and seems to have legit funds to not be able to bid. That bidder has had enormous legit bids and that is good for Windstone and good for collectors.
I think the way Melody and staff are handling this is perfect. Let the next highest bidder have a crack at the piece.
My problem with the Silver SK, was that I was #3 and the #2 bidder was trying to win the bid over #1. So I didn’t want to get stuck with a much inflated price if #2 and me #3 all got in a war with possibly bogus #1.
I hope that the #1 bidder is legit and if they are, welcome to the forum!
Plus the chance of other Silver SK’s made me not want to make the auction more complex than what it was already, in case there is a problem.
Melody, Please note that if #1 and #2 are not interested. I would be willing to buy this beautiful piece 🙂
Okay, so I am number three on Silver SK. So who is number 2? They have 207 feedback. Is Arlla in this mix? Anyone know here ebay username?
I hope if these auctions are pulled, that these two beauties go to forum members.
I also think 4K is a lot to spend in a weekend, but Rumsey.2007 spent at least that on the stuff they bought a few months ago. And they just bought that Lap for way high! Sooo, we never really know….until ebay pulls it.

Without you we would have a LOT more money but there would be a LOT less Pretties in the worldI second that! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! And YEAH! MARDI GRAS is around the corner! Expect something special for Mardi Gras!

Not sure. I believe that I came in third.I am third, there is someone with like 207 feedback that is second and I am the one with 68. My original bid was $1500. I might go higher, I gotta think about it.
Which SK are you talking about? I was talking about the Wine Berry one. I was just stating that I was the third highest on this one, and that I didn’t know who the second highest one was. It was pretty intese during the last minute. I don’t have any plans on bidding on the silver one.
I meant the Silver one and apparently Frozen is in the number 2 spot.
I am gonna be very suprised if both don’t end up being pulled.

Wonder why she isn’t signed by Olympia, if she’s the one who painted her.She isn’t signed by Olimpia because this is a limited production color, not an Artist’s Edition color. I signed her, since I sign the other Ebayed production color things.
All these different editions and things make us very confused, but we are trying to stick to a pattern here. I sign test paints of my stuff, and the first ten production things that we auction on Ebay. Olimpia, Jennifer and I sign our own Artist’s Edition things, and to be random, sometimes we Ebay things that nobody signs.
This Silver SK is a test paint, sort of, since the color will get adjusted a little on the next ones. We plan to Ebay more silvers, but they may not look exactly like this one.Sooo, Since you signed it…if I win it…do I get a special Sketch??? huuunnnnnhhhh? squeak:) squeak:)
