WINNERS!!!! 2019 CAT LOVERS HOP







Hi, Friends and Cat Lovers!!!

WE DID IT!!  We all survived the Hop last week!  I feel congratulations are in order for just making it through the week....lol..  (Have you caught up on cooking and housework yet????  I haven't either!!  Ha.)  It is not much of an exaggeration to say that most of my waking hours last week were spent on the hop.....and I didn't even do any crafting!!!  I mean it when I say that you guys work as hard at our Cat Hops as I do!!!  I APPRECIATE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!  THANK YOU for making our Hop so fun and successful.

I want to thank you all for the very lovely comments you have left for me on my blog and on your own posts during the Hop.  I do work hard to make it fun for everyone and I am so glad you enjoyed it.  What I could not have envisioned when we first started, though, was how our Hops would develop into a community of caring friends sharing our love of cats.  That has been the most rewarding thing about the Hops to me.  I think many of you feel that sense of community, too.  This is a unique and very special quality of our Hops that I don't see in other hops. Thank you all for participating in that community!! 

I highly value the feedback you give me about our Hops:  your favorite parts, least favorite parts, my hits and my misses on the Daily Games, how easy or hard it is to play along, etc. With that in mind, I have made a separate post HERE where you can give me some detailed feedback and rate our Hop.  I would be honored and most appreciative if you would take a few minutes to comment over there. 

And now on to the prizes!!!  Weren't you just overwhelmed by the generosity of all our amazing sponsors????  I am so humbled and grateful for their support of our Hop!!!  We are very privileged to be part of such a kind and giving group of people that make up the papercrafting industry.  THANK YOU, SPONSORS!!!

I wish I had a prize for each and every one of you!  Maybe some year I will have that many sponsors!!  But I am thrilled to announce that for 71 signed-in participants, I have 44 total prizes.  How impressive is that???

  4. Wheee! Blair will be so excited to one of the lucky winners. Thank you Janis, for a wonderful hop. You're right about the hop being even more fun because of all the participants being a community. So many people left the nicest comments on my girls' projects, which really tickled them. I didn't leave as many comments as I wish I could have but I admired them all in the main hop link up.
    Now you can take a breath and relax a little before the winter holidays hit Janis. Thank you for the best Cat Lovers Hop ever!
