Hi, Friends..... 

STORM DELAY....Sorry for the delay in getting this Wrap-Up Day Post up.  My internet had been wonky all day yesterday and a storm was predicted last evening.  It wasn't even thaaaaaaaaaaat much of a storm, but it must have hit the towers that are associated with our service because it all went dead.  We are fine....just a little bit of wind and snow, with everything white this morning.  But it was enough that I couldn't get my post up.  Thank you for your patience and concern!!  ❤

Welcome to the Wrap-Up Day for our 2022 Cat Lovers HopTODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO COMMENT ON PROJECTS AND TO PLAY IN THE DAILY GAMES.  I know a number of you have already finished....but I haven't!!  lol...  With my crazy internet, I have only made it a little over halfway through the list.  BUT I WILL GET THERE!!  (Maybe not by tonight, though, but I am going to try!)

The project Link-Up closed on Saturday, Oct. 29, but to give as many of you as possible a chance to comment on the projects I kept comments open several extra days.  Comments close at 11:59 pm Pacific today, Wednesday, Nov. 2nd.   

You also have through today to participate in the Daily Games that you will find on each of last week's posts. Comments on each of those posts also go into the draw for Comment Prizes.  So if you have not caught up on the Daily Games, this is the day to do that!

DID YOU THANK OUR SPONSORS???  Each daily post includes links for visiting the featured sponsor blogs, FB, etc.  Almost everyone has expressed their appreciation to them on MY daily posts and that is wonderful.  But unless you actually go over to THEIR webpages, our generous sponsors are unlikely to see your notes. 

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

SUPER COMMENTER PRIZE DRAWING:
If you manage to make it all the way through the Link-up and comment on every single project, you can link up your name at the bottom of this post to be in the special drawing for the Super Commenter Prize. 

NOTE:  I realize that some are not members of all the different platforms (FB, IG, Flickr, SCS, etc) where our Hoppers might post projects and will not be able to comment on those projects.  You can still qualify for the Super Commenter drawing IF YOU MENTION IN THE COMMENTS BELOW which platforms you are not a member of, but that you commented on EACH of the other projects. 

VERY IMPORTANT:  To be eligible for the Super Commenter prize, you MUST comment on all the projects AND link up your name in the linky tool below.

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



Okay....speech over.  lol...

That's all for the Wrap-Up Post.  Finish up those comments and then link up below by 11:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time TONIGHT to be in the draw for the Super Commenter prize.  Don't forget to tell me in the comments if you couldn't comment on particular platforms.

Thanks so much for all your great participation in this year's Hop.  I hope you had as much fun as I did.  I will get going on running all the random numbers.....it is quite a process with this many prizes!!  Hopefully, I'll get the Winners Post up in a few days.  Be watching for it!!  See you then.


Janis

  1. No rush, Janis. Glad you got your internet back. I know how frustrating that can be. We usually lose our power too. Sounds like a bad storm and I am glad you're okay.

  6. I was able to comment on every linkup except Split Coast Stampers. But I was able to "like" those entries. Thanks so much for this wonderful hop. It's so nice to have so many visits to my card posts. Everyone is always so encouraging!

  7. I commented on every entry and I thanked every sponsor (even though I had to send a few private messages to do so)! You are to be commended, Janis, on all the hard work you put in this hop again this year! Thank you so much! And I'm looking forward to next year's! <3

  8. I was able to comment on all entries except Nina's on FB - she must have it set to private/friends only. But I did <3 her entries as they were all fabulous!! And a shaker - my favorite!!

  9. So glad to know the storm wasn't massive and that all that was lost was the internet. :-D I don't have access to any of the social media platforms except for Facebook and I commented on all of those except for 1 and I think she forgot to change her setting to Public because there was no option for leaving a comment on her post. Wonderful fun and great inspiration from everyone who played along in the hop. Huge thanks to you for taking the time and expending all the energy it takes to put this on every year. :-D

  10. I couldn’t comment on SpiltCoast Stampers or on Nina Bodozian. Also Facebook deleted some peoples posts (Vivian told me) so if they were reinserted I don’t know if the comments were missing. Thank you for all your hard work.

  13. I commented on all the contributions except Nina B, numbers 81-85 (her facebook account didn't allow comments from everyone). Thanks for all your work on the hop. I enjoyed seeing all the great creativity, fun games, and learning about companies and products that are new to me.

  14. I couldn't comment on FB on IG. Glad your power is back and that you give us extra days to comment.

  15. Hi Janis...just waking up in Australia. Glad to see you got your internet back. I am suffering from no internet since moving into our new house on October 1st. I hope it gets fixed soon! In the meantime I am hotspotting from my phone which is intermittent. Very frustrating! Anyway I managed to post all I wanted to and visit every project - so inspiring! I commented on all I could (I think Nina's settings were such that you needed to be a friend to comment but I 'liked' hers). I let Vivian know that a couple of her links were broken and I think she managed to relink...I know that some of my comments disappeared into the ether - by chance visiting some projects again no comment was visible... Anyway as usual a very enjoyable hop!!

  16. I hope you are OK.
    Thanks for this wonderful hop!

  17. I couldn’t comment on IG, Fb, SplitCoast Stampers and also on LeslieT Wordpress site (https://lovetoscrap2.com/), because it wanted an Fb, Twitter or Wordpress account. So sorry.
    I also thanked all the sponsor that I could.
    Glad to hear that the storm hasn't too much strong and that your power is back!
    Thanks again for all your hard work, and also to the Team that helped you! Has been a FABULOUS Hop!!
    Hugs and Purrrr =^ - ^=

  18. Glad it all worked out, Janis! But snow? Yikes! Some parts of Canada have had snow but not here in Nova Scotia yet. It's been unseasonably mild. I am a member of all the sites mentioned so I was able to comment on all entries except Nina Bodozian in Facebook. I certainly hope I didn't miss anyone else as there were some disappearing comments at one blog.

    I would like to thank everyone who took the time to comment on my cards and especially Brian's cards. I read each and every comment to him daily, and they were very touching, and to those people I would like to send a big hug! Brian didn't know if he still had his creativity after his stroke in 2018 but it really shone through with his love for Snowie, which motivated him to make the cards. Several people encouraged him to make more cards but he said not right away as he wants to try other creative pursuits. It really boosted his self-confidence so THANK YOU to everyone for their kindness and compassion! He even won a Top 5 at SUYP and he was very excited about that (thank you, Fiki)! Cat-loving crafters are the BEST!

  20. Thank you so much for another year of putting on a fantastic hop Janis! I actually made it through all of the projects this year. I was unable to comment on Nina Bodozian FB pages, #81, #82, #83, #84, #85. #105, #161, #181, #215 and #218 were mine so I didn't comment on my own blog! :) Please note I commented using my InLinkz, flickr, FB, blog account and Split Coast Stamper Account. "Rstevenson, Roberta Stevenson, booismine2@gmail.com, Robertastevnsn" in order to comment on everyone's blog.

  22. Fun hop. Commented on all blogs. Was not able to comment on Instagram, flickr or Split Coast Stampers accounts. I had an Instagram account and it no longer works, have tried to create a new one and that did not work, and not able to change password. My flickr account is no longer working and password unchangeable. Tried to comment on Split Coast Stampers and it gave me an error indicating unable to post comment.

  23. I commented on all except FB,IG as I dont have either, and Split Coasters (could see it though). Also commented on Sponsors that I was able to.
    Hope you are all okay after the storm Janis, we can wait. :)

  24. I DID IT!!! I got every project (except those of Nina's on FB) commented on BEFORE the deadline!! Not sure, but this might be a first for me! I did have some trouble with Blogger eating my comments and spitting them out in some undisclosed alley, so I apologize if you do not see a comment from me on each of your projects. I was there and I DID comment. You all did a FABULOUS job!! THANK YOU.
    Now my work really begins.........crunching numbers, crunching numbers. Yum yum. :)

  25. Unfortunately, I only now saw that the WRAP-UP post is online and was no longer able to add myself to the list. I commented on every post (except on Facebook and Twitter and 2 blogs where my comments were not accepted).
    But not so bad, then next year on a new one. I love the hop!!!

  26. It was a great hop. I don't do anything other
    than Facebook and I didn't try to post on all
    the projects. Just looked and enjoyed.
    thanks for all of your hard work - it is
    appreciated.

  27. Such a great hop! Thanks again to Janis and helpers! I had so many Blogger and log in issues I did not keep up with commenting very well, but thank you to all who came by and saw my cards on Splitcoast Stampers, and to those who left such nice comments! It's been fun looking at all the wonderful creations!

  28. I commented on all projects except Splitcoast and Word Press, they wouldn’t allow me too! Glad the storm didn’t effect you too much!
