WINNERS - 2018 CAT LOVERS HOP (finally.......)



*********************************


Jetta says, "Please admire my one white whisker!"  ❤

Hi, Friends and Cat Lovers!!!

Meee-WOWOW!!! What a fabulous Hop we had this year!!! I must apologize for being so late in getting this Winners Post made. My internet has been having problems since a week ago last Saturday.....just as the Hop was coming to a close! I am so glad it didn't affect putting up my daily posts, but it sure did cramp my style on visiting all the great projects and running the winners with Random.org!! Arrrrgh!!

A big thank you to each of you who participated in the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop!! YOU are the Cat Lovers Hop!!! We had a lot of first-timers this year.....I am beyond thrilled you joined in with us. We also had a number of you that have been with us from the beginning in 2015. You are the rock foundation of the Cat Hops and I appreciate your continued support so much. Everyone else has been with us for at least 2 hops now. I absolutely LOVE that you have made the Cat Lovers Hop your own and enthusiastically participate with your fabulous projects and comments.

A humongous thank you goes to each of our awesome sponsors!! I am so humbled and grateful for their generous support. Not only have they donated lovely prizes, but they also have given words of encouragement to me behind the scenes. They are a big reason why our Cat Lovers Hop keeps growing each year!! This year the Hop dovetailed with several challenges from our sponsors that I tried to call your attention to in my Daily Posts. Did you like that additional bonus of having other challenges to enter your projects in, too?

Well, I have a LOT of winners to announce so I better get to it. After all, that's why you are even looking at this post, right? I know it would be for me!! :) I wish soooooooo much I had prizes for each and every one of you, but help me congratulate all these lucky winners!!


PLEASE NOTE:  If you are one of the lucky winners, please email me your SNAIL MAIL info (if you are winning a physical prize) with "WINNER - 2018 CLH" in the subject line: jwoolbright at gmail dot com. Please contact me by November 14.

Okay.......catnip roll please.......(Purrrrrr..rrrrrrrrr..rrrrrrr)

  13. Congratulations to all the winners and thank you, Janis, for putting on one purrr-fect party! I too want to thank everyone for leaving such wonderful comments on my Flickr projects and for being so welcoming to my two granddaughters by commenting on their cards as well. I hadn't even realized that 3 generations of my family entered, until Janis mentioned it. Yes, I was never good at math...haha! The projects alone were so fun to see but the cat tales of cats past and present, really made the hop special. Off to email you!
