CHERISH A SHEEP

Here is the woolly jumper custom-made for Bumble

As a forerunner to a future venture, Cameo Collectibles

provided 48 Sheep to be used for fundraising.

The idea was simple - donate money via PayPal and receive one of the Sheep below.  

Each Sheep also came with one of my 'ewe-nique' tags.

There were only 48 Sheep and they were allocated on a first-come-first-served basis to the first 48 Shepherds who donated money to my fundraising PayPal account.  Each donation only secured 1 Sheep. 

The Sheep were only available while flocks lasted!  

 Once all four flocks of 12 Sheep were rounded up, the 12 different patch numbers of the participating Sheep were entered into a draw. One number was chosen by the method shown above. There were four Sheep bearing that patch number. The names of the four Shepherds who have those sheep in their flock were entered into a further round to determine who won which prize

We start with a picture of Gizmo, the hamster, and if you follow on down, you will see how he played his part in the Sheep event of the year

After a well earned rest, Gizmo agreed to take part in the second stage

This took slightly longer so the video file is quite large
