Blog Hop Winners . . .

Before I announce the winners for the "For Those Left Behind" blog hop, I want to say "Thank You" to those who put together challenges for everyone to take part in . . . even though it was short notice, each and every one of you stepped up and knocked it out of the ballpark.  Each challenge was so creative and inspiring . . . which is why I feel the blog hop was a GREAT success.  Also, I want to say "Thank You" to all those who participated in the blog hop by either posting comments, submitting projects.  Every one of you is so talented and, again, I was so inspired by everything I saw . . . GREAT job!!!

Here's a few fun facts I wanted to share about the blog hop:

200+ pictures were taken

170+ projects were submitted

30+  people left comments on various blogs (pretty impressive
 considering how many went to "Spring Fling"

23 people submitted projects

11 participants did ALL 12 challenges

Now for the blog candy I was giving away . . . originally, I was only going to give away one (1) this time . . . but due to the overwhelming participation and because my # of followers increased from 47 to 53.  So I will be giving away 2 additional things of blog candy (one because it hit another increment of 5 and I'm now over 50 followers. (But, Sorry, the extra two will not be more Summer Edition Distress Inks.)

Karen N. - You are the winner for the set of Summer Edition distress inks

LinEmer - You are the winner of the 1st extra blog candy

wmitchell - You are the winner of the 2nd extra blog candy

One more thing, as I was going thru my comments and the projects submitted, I saw that we had a young lady joining us for the blog hop.  So I decided to send her some of her own blog candy . . .

Emma McAdams . . . she's Christina's daughter who wanted to play along 

. . . and she did a GREAT job!!!

Please either PM me on CropChocolate or email at clayton528@aol.com with your real name and mailing address.  Once I get everyone's addresses, I will get these out in the mail to you.


Once again, I want to thank everyone for the participation . . . whether it was hosting a challenge, submitting a project, or just leaving a comment . . . without all of you, this hop would not have been a success.


Till the next time I'm Up in the Night.  Kathy
