Cat Lovers Hop Blog Candy Winners!!

It’s the post you’ve all been waiting for! I’m a smidge late  (I shouldda said noon PACIFIC time! lol!) Time to announce the Cat Lovers Hop Blog Candy Winners! Woot-woot! So hold onto your tails and we’ll get this party started!

Is it me???!!!!!

First, I want to thank each and every one of you for all your kind, funny and encouraging comments! It was a delight reading them! I wish I had prizes for all of you!! Let’s see whose prizes I DO have…

The first blog candy was in the Day 1 post, with the interview with Sam, and those who wanted in had to mention EYEBROWS in their comments, plus there were ways to gain additional entries. Since there were fewer drawings for the international peeps, I gave those of you who said you were outside the USA one bonus entry to help even the odds for the USA only giveaways you couldn’t enter. (FYI, I only did this on the two posts where I’m sending the blog candy, evening out with the two USA only posts.) Of the 50 comments on that post, 30 qualified for the blog candy and there were 5 international bonus entries.

So, Mr. Random.org was asked to pick a number from 1-35, and he said…

Whew! Who knew a little RAK could take so long to distribute!

For those of you that didn’t win… as you dejectedly take to your couches,  

perhaps a warm beverage while I sing you this comforting song will help console you…

Again, please know that I appreciate ALL of you and your kind support!

Have a wonderful day!

Until next time…

– D.Ann
