Lol! Love those jumping smileys!! Thanks everyone! Yes I was really delighted and "Over the moon!" that David cared enough to respond; and in such a generous way! Just shows you that he appreciates his fan base. I am sure he does appreciate us even when he can't respond. But THIS TIME he did and WoW! Aren't we pleased. Not to be over-dramatic here but remember that it was the fanart of all contributors here on this board that inspired this project! So you guys are to me like David Caruso was to Alan Locke (of Chinerica fame)! Lol! Congratulations again everyone!

The Gallery Brown has an interesting variety of art and art mediums. It is worth a look at their website which you can do through DC's MS site. One can visit by appt. So 10-12 days ago I made such an appointment! Apart from the obvious I am keen to see work by some of the other artists. It looks very enticing!
Aw... He's peeling! Better protection for that neck David!

Can we wait a little before we decide. It is very difficult and i certainly want as many as possible to benefit and be included.
I really would like to offer one suggestion though. It is only a suggestion:
Everyone here is important in keeping this board together, whether they visit daily or occasionally, whether they play an active role or a passive one. We have a really neat active core group and that makes the board "pop" so that we can enjoy each others fun, support and contributions as well as providing an interesting place for visitors to pass by. Each person here deserves everything we have from David. But we don't have that many items to share. However it turns out, everyone should know and appreciate how special those around you here really are. I was thinking about the production of this dvd specifically and all of those who helped and contributed. This is what came to mind:
I can print a copy of the home pic on Kodak paper for anyone who would like one and sends me an address.
I would like to nominate that the following receive a bobblehead:
Krystal for all of the incredible work she does in maintaining this board and keeping we unruly women (and men?) in line. Margaret for her wonderful work in facilitating and maintaining the fanart thread, not to mention her brilliant and many contributions HCrazy as she and Margaret were both brilliant in helping me with all of the fanart access through their site and other things. Me because.... I am already attached to the bobblehead in my bathroom. Karen because she wrote that wonderful letter to David on our behalf and brings us the voice of reason.
That is 5. We have 5.
We had 16 people offer their fanart, all were included somewhere in the dvd. I am wondering if each of those people shouldn't receive the personally autographed pic if they so desire. That leaves 2 spare. One for Sanne who gets up every day to post those wonderful pics and who keeps our Birthday thread going.
We 8 more people who provided portraits (as well as some of the above) so 4 of that 8 could receive a Birthday Card and 4 could receive a HCaine gift card.
Then we have 5 badges.... I could toss a coin or we could nominate people. I have no real idea.
And we have the belt buckle. Well, to be honest........ ummm. I really Really would like it. And I feel, rightly or wrongly, that it was meant for me.
The above is just a suggestion. if there are other suggestionsplease put them forward. I know some will be unhappy. I can't think of how else to do this. What say you??? I am off to bed. I feel a nightmare coming on. But, as always friends, we always get through these difficult decision-making times and we will this time too.

As far as I'm concerned, the beltbuckle is yours, Lindy. Just as all the other items, as they were sent to you and you were the one who actually made the DVD and sent it to Mr. Caruso. It's great that you want to share some of the items as you received more than 1 and I think you are the one to decide whom you want to send what gift. I'm already happy you got a fantastic response. I recently got a signed picture of Mr. Caruso and last year Tanya sent me the H-birthdaycard and I'm already over the moon with these items, but another autographed pic would be very nice to add.

Lindy, thanks for posting the pics, they are really great, specially the last one! About the gifts, I'm ok with whatever you decide. I think you've done the whole work, you had the lovely idea and you've been very generous letting us being part of this. You deserve the belt buckle and much more pal. I agree with you, there are some people that really deserve a gift for their contributions. So I want you to know how happy I feel, and that if there are not enough gifts for everyone and I can't get one, I will be ok, no problem. Your work and David's feedback it's my gift! Gonsy
