SPRING: Whiniest giftee[/b][/color] – For complaining about sharing Spike
SHAN: Most amazing gift[/b][/color] – For the gift to Rachael, of the pics of the vehicles tumbling into the bay

[Um, looking left and right. Is it okay to respond here? I noticed a few people responded on the main thread, but, being lazy I thought I'd just do it here. If that's not okay I'll delete and move this to the main thread.]
1. Congratulations to Rachael. Wow was I off!
2. Thanks, thanks and thanks again for the idea, the exacution and all the hard work on the part of Patti, Vlad and (please remind me who else worked on this activity).
3. Thanks, thanks and thanks again to all the Scubies who submitted amazingly clever, creative and funny gift requests and those who took hours and hours of vitual shopping time to cleverly, creatively, and hysterically fulfill them.
4. Special thanks and {{ }} and
to Erin for all my gifts--and her wonderful thoughtfulness.
5. And even once it was all over Patti found a way to keep it going with the awards. Very apropos and inventive!
As for my "Most Shameless Giftee Award," I'd like to thank my parents who taught me to take what was offered and make no apologies, my kindergarten teacher--who taught me to grab and elbow my way to the daily treats, and most of all my fellow Scubies, who taught be that when Spike is offered in a box one must strike while the iron is hot and make up any excuse to immediately declare him
all mine, no matter how shamelessly slim the connection.
