Spindrift Commissioning Guild 2012

Thank you to all By Pamela Marshall

I want to thank all the project fuelers for your support of Spindrift Commissioning Guild. 23 supporting members for the 2012 Duo & Trio project. More offline donations makes the Guild fundraising total for $2570. It's kind of tough being in fundraising mode, so I'm glad it's done! Now completing the project will be relaxing and easy!
