I rarely buy tickets for raffles as I seldom win anything and, if I do win, it's not something I really want/need. I liked the idea of putting tickets into the bags in front of things I might like. Most of us don't need more "stuff" unless we are beginning this addiction. The things we can actually use/consume would be more to my liking--yardage, batting, blades, patterns. Don't care for fat quarters as I'm always afraid I'll run out of the piece I have and then there I am without more. Why not just raise dues a few dollars? Guess not as much fun?

When you are older, you get rid of the "greed" feeling. I know when I was younger, I would grab up anything I could get my hands on. Didn't always use all of it.
Now, at my age, I'm downsizing. If someone comes to my house and says they like something, usually I can say, "It's yours." If someone breaks a glass, I can say, "More room in my cupboard." But I'll never live long enough to get rid of all the things I should.

I'm the type that can open a drawer and dump it in the trash and not think a thing about it ever again. I have no stored items except in my sewing room. I've never had this much stuff to store then when I started quilting.

I think all the suggestions for the raffle are great. I am on the older side, but still get a kick out of a new notion or fabric. I am more into getting rid of my old stuff and acquiring some new stuff I guess. Our guild has lots of fun with raffles and door prizes. Good luck.
