WINNERS - 2020 CAT LOVERS HOP

 

Hi, Cat Hoppers.............

Yes, the post you and your cats have been waiting for is FINALLY here!!!! YAY!!! Thank you for your patience as I finished hopping and commenting. I visited every single project and loved them all!!! It is an honor and privilege for me to be able to leave personal comments on each entry. I never want our Cat Lovers Hops to get so big that I can't do that. (I am selfish that way..... lol...) Because of everything else happening in my life right now, it took me quite a bit longer than usual to finish. I know it caused a lot of waiting on your part, but I super-appreciate you being so understanding.

Wasn't this a fantastic hop????  I deeply appreciate every single one of our lovely Hoppers and all the kind comments you have left for me about our Hop.  We had 75 participants that signed in from 15 countries, including 27 first-time hoppers. WOW!!!  Everyone did such a great job leaving wonderful comments and making projects.  The caliber of your cards and projects was totally amazing! 

And it is so cool that more and more papercrafting companies are including kitty products in their CAT-alogs for us to drool and make happy feet about. 😻😻😻 Many of those companies sponsored us this year. I am so very grateful for their support. We had 41 fabulous sponsors this year with a total of 53 prizes!!    I wish I had a prize for every single person, but you have to admit that 53 prizes for 75 people is pretty impressive!  THANK YOU, SPONSORS!!! 💟💟💟

So let's get right to the prizes and winners, shall we?

Sorry, Michele, that I forgot to put that on here when I first made this post!!

 

 Last year I had a little FEEDBACK FORM that many of you filled out for me.  It was EXTREMELY helpful to me to see what you all liked and what was working...or not working.  Although I am not making a separate post for feedback this time, I still very much appreciate any comments you have on the Hop and suggestions for making it better.  

I am thinking about extending the time that comments can be made more than just the one extra day.  I know one additional day is apparently not enough time for ME!!  lol...  What do you think about that?  Will that get too much in the way of the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop that comes up in November? I know a lot of you participate in that.  Let me know in the comments here and anything else you might want to mention.  

That wraps up the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop.  I hope you have enjoyed it!  THANK YOU for your very kind comments of appreciation.  They mean a lot to me.  The Hop is a lot of work, but I love doing it.  

Soooooooooooooooooooooo ...... If I have not been committed to a mental institution in a complete state of hysteria by next year, I hope to be hosting the 2021 Cat Lovers Hop next October.  As always, the Hop is scheduled for the last full week of October, so the dates will be:  October 25-30, 2021.  Hope to see you then, if not before!!!
