The bronze kettle..

This picture actually has abit of a story to it. Im going to TRY to keep it short... But ill most likely fail :(

Anywho, our story starts last year when i was surfing around on the intranets, looking at porn and random forums. Actually neither of those, i was really checking out the pretty awesome WoW site MMO-champion, i usually do that, as i tend to slack when im sitting AFK in the game... So, what i found on the site was a link to this Charity raffle hosted by The Bronze Kettle, wich basicly was this lottery inside of wow who people donated real money to participate in. The money gathered through this would then be donated to Child's Play (Click the link to read about it, kinda awesome). So, the thing that caught my eye about all of it was this:

"We’ve got plans to procure more prizes before the raffle ends. If you have anything you’d like to donate as prize please contact us."

Yeah. I kinda hesitated at first, did'nt really think i could do anything good enough to be suited as a price. But i emailed the ones on TBK anyway, and told them that if they wanted it, i would gladly donate a cutomized logo/banner/signature or whatever. I posted a few picture's along with the email, to give them abit of an insight of what i can do...

After a few weeks i guessed that they did'nt really hook onto the idea... As i did'nt recieve any response. And i was fine about it, as i didnt really expect any ;)
But then at the start of january, i recieved an email stating the name and address of the winner of my price... I was pretty surprised, but apparently they DID like the idea, and had posted it on their blog rather then contacting me in person :)

And the point of all this walltext is, to show what the winner recieved :)
The winner (Jeff) wanted a forum signature, but he also wanted abit of customability in it, as he didnt have a really solid guild at the moment. So this was the outcome.








To be perfectly honest, i dont really like it... But he was satisfied with it, and that's what important! Felt kinda good to contribute to charity though :)
