One last Halloween funny.....because this is sooooooooooo ME!!!! Hahahaha....
 |
| Totally LOVE the wheelbarrow for carrying the bag home from the store because I, too, bought the "Upper-Middle-Class-Suburban-Neighborhood-that-Attracts-Trick-or-Treaters-from-Everywhere-Sized-Bag".......two of them, actually, since I finished one before Halloween. As usual, I got ZERO trick-or-treaters. The second bag is dwindling..... :) :) :) I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!! |
Dear Friends......
Nothing quite so discouraging as writing a truly inspired post (lol...) and having Blogger jettison the whole thing. :( :( :(
At least the Link-up gadget for the hop worked flawlessly. I didn't lose anyone's projects or catastrophically delete the entire internet or anything. (Although my hubby might not have been too sad if I had made the internet disappear! Ha.) So, that part was good. I would so rather lose my post than lose something of yours!!!
I am NOT going to try to rewrite what I wrote so I will give a synopsis:
***[Insert paragraph about how much fun the hop was for me and totally worth all the work, even though my family hasn't had a decent meal in a month....Ha!]
***[Insert paragraph about how much I appreciated all of your participation and sharing about your cats.]
***[Insert paragraph about our fabulous sponsors and their awesome prizes, including some of you who offered blog candy.]
***[Insert special note about how Jen Jackson owner/designer of Newton's Nook visited the projects featuring Newton and left personal comments. Wow!]
Okay....you probably want the real list of winners not just "***[Insert list of winners.]" Am I right?
Okay..........here we go.....again................All winners were drawn using Random.org.

PS.......Please tell me in your comments if you think all my posts should be in synopsis form!!! lol...
Hi
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is synopsis form because english is not my language.
But I do like your post how you wrote it.
congratulating to all winners!
thanks to all sponzors! you are the great!
I'm happy to see my friends name in the winners!
you did great blog hop! I love it!
have a nice day
oh YAY.. I might have a cat stamp afterall!
ReplyDeleteTHanks so much Janis, it was a lot of fun! It was great to visit so fabulous blogs too!
Oh my! Are you sure that your family wasn't behind the disappearing act on Blogger?? Either way, your synopsis was nearly as fun as reading your usual chatty blog posts and I know we all appreciate the work that went into this hop. Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everyone who made this such a warm and fuzzy (or should I say, furry) event! I loved reading the great cat stories and seeing photos of fur babies big and small. The cat memes and cartoons were a great giggle in the middle of my day and the cat projects were creative and imaginative. I found old cat stamps that hadn't seen the light of day in years and uncovered even more cat themed goodies that I didn't have time to dust off. I am tickled that we went over 100 entries and drew entries from several different countries. However, it seems clear that you still reign supreme as craziest cat lady Janis, with your 20+ kitties!! Okay, get in that kitchen and make a good square meal for your family before they cause the internet to crash entirely...ha! Better yet, call for take-out and relax, now that your hop frenzy has settled down...you deserve it!
ReplyDeleteOh Janis, thank you so very much - I feel so honored! I had so much fun looking in my stash to find kitties to play with. And the inspiration from a hop is always great! If you do have this again next year, I will be there!
ReplyDeleteYay! That's wonderful! I am super excited about the prize I won! I don't have anything from Simple Stories so this is purr-fect! Janis, thank you so much for the fun blog hop - I know a lot of work went on behind the scenes. It went without a hitch! It was a wonderful distraction for me - I got to forget my troubles temporarily and focus on kitties! I loved every minute of it! Of course it's Cat Lovers Day every day on my blog but your hop made it even more so!
ReplyDeleteI recognize almost all of the names on the winners' list - congratulations to everyone Enjoy your kitty prizes!
It was a fantastic hop and if you have it again next year I think it will be even bigger and better! Did you know that Ike has decided to have a monthly Cat Challenge starting in December - here's a link:
