I helped raise $431.75 for the students who were displaced by the Hurricane!

It all began with a thread in the "Ask Tubey" forum. Someone asked if there would ever be a stuffed Tubey toy. Since I cannot resist a crafty challenge, I set about to make my own. I posted pictures which other posters thought were adorable. Then since the first one was sort of bulgy and not as squared off as I would like, I made new, improved, Tubey 2.0 and this is the Tubey that I offered to Glark (one of the PTB at Television Without Pity) for a charity auction after Katrina. They were already raising money here, and the money raised by my stuffed Tubey will be added to that total. Since $431.75 is way more than I ever could have donated money-wise, and way more than any stuffed Tubey is worth, I'm all a-tingle with the awesomeness of it all. Now I just need to keep reminding myself that my other handmade stuffed animals are not, in fact, worth hundreds of dollars.
