MAIN HOP POST: 2022 CAT LOVERS HOP (Goes live Oct. 24, 2022)

Hi, Friends and Cat Lovers.....

Are you all excited for the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop????  I sure am!  This is our 8th year together....AMAZING!!!  A few years ago, I introduced this SIGN IN to make my bookkeeping easier when I am randomly drawing the names for prizes for the Cat Lovers Hop. It helped me a lot and so I am continuing it this year.  

Since I want half of the prizes to go to commenters and half to project entry participants, I am asking everyone who wants to participate and be eligible for prizes to please sign in below. That way when people comment on your projects who are just followers of your blog and not really intending to be part of the hop they won't end up with a wonderful cat stamp set that they might not even want!!

Remember: YOU MUST SIGN IN BELOW TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PRIZES!!!!!

Also, some of our sponsors are only able to mail their prizes to USA addresses, so I need to know what country you live in. Besides, it's fun to see where everyone lives. :) Also, please leave me your email address (in code is fine) so I can easily get a hold of you if you are a lucky winner.  In the past, I've had to track one or two people down each year and sometimes they didn't even know they were part of a Cat Lovers Hop!! I want these prizes going to people who really are a part of our hop.

One other thing, some of our sponsors are offering digital images as prizes. I realize that not everyone uses digis or has a working printer and so might not really want one of them as a prize. This is your opportunity to let me know..."no digis please!", if you do not want to be considered for those prizes.

NEW THIS YEAR!!!..................

NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL PARTICIPANTS:
I am very aware that international shipping is horribly expensive.  Sometimes, Hoppers from other parts of the world are lucky winners of Gift Codes from American companies....but they cannot use the prize because of the exorbitant shipping and customs fees.  

Starting this year, I will try to make sure that if an international Hopper is drawn for a Gift Code, that it is either from a domestic (to them) company or that the company offers digital products.  I will check to see if the Hopper says "Digis are okay" and then go ahead and award them the GC prize.  The winner still has the option of ordering a physical prize with the GC if they wish, but this way they will have a "no shipping charge" option available.  NOTE: The digital products offered by the company might not be cat designs, but I hope the winners will find something they love.

So if you live in a country other than the USA, I encourage you to be sure to tell me if digis are okay.  It will open up more prize options for you!  And everyone loves prizes, right????  :)

NOTE:  If you are an international hopper and WANT to be considered for Gift Codes from American companies, even if they do not offer digital designs, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN YOUR COMMENT BELOW. Thank you!  

Included in the sign-in are a couple of prize opportunities from our fabulous sponsors that I think you are going to love. If this is your first year ever participating in the Cat Lovers Hop, please mention that in the comments, too. One of the prizes will go to a lucky randomly drawn first-time participant.  

Have you participated EACH year of the hop (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and this year 2022)??? Another of the prizes will go to a lucky participant that has been with us from the beginning and not missed a year! 
(You long-haulers deserve a medal for putting up with me this many years!!!  ❤ )

 Also.....in the past I have sometimes been confused by alternate usernames on different platforms for posting, linking, commenting, etc.  Many of us (including myself!) use two or more different monikers and most of the time I know who you are.  There are a few of you, though, who confound me each year!  (Hahaha....not too difficult to do!!)  Could you please list all your common usernames in the comments, too, to assist me when I am cross-eyed from running Random.org and making sure I have the right person from the right country getting the right prize?  THANKS!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TO SIGN IN (now through 11:59 pm Pacific, Wednesday Nov. 2, 2022, which is the last day for comments.).... Please leave comment below with the following info:
1. What country you live in.
2. Your email address (in code is fine).
3. "Digis okay" or "No digis, please".
4. Tell me if this is your FIRST YEAR participating or if you have PARTICIPATED EACH YEAR without missing. (Commenting and/or linking up a project counts as participating!! So even if you were not able to make a project, but did hop around and leave some comments here or on the projects EACH YEAR...that counts!!)

5. Alternate usernames on different platforms so I know who you are if you are a random winner there.(e.g. Janis, Janis in ID, J.Woolbright)
