Voting has closed now . . . bear with us!

I've recruited my team to help tally the results . . . if they can find time in the midst of their play!

Voting is all finished, and we'll count up the votes and set Mr. Random to doing his thing. Please bear with us!

There were lots of entries and lots of prizes, so we want to keep an accurate count!

We'll be back soon and announce the results!

Love,

Don't forget to vote!

Don't forget to vote for the viewers' choice awards in the Pet Show! Click here to go to the "ballot box" post here at the Lilypad, OK?

And if you completed a blankie or mat for the Padsworth Project, be sure to comment and let me know, on the ballot box post. You will receive extra entries in the drawings!

And here's a special note from one of our sponsors: Check out this link from Jacquelynne Steves, and sign up for her newsletter. You'll be qualified to receive this adorable free pattern:

Hurry and vote! Voting closes in a few days, and then we'll burn the midnight oil to provide the results!

Love,

The voting begins! Vote at this blog post!

 

Has everybody been having fun?

 

Well, it's about to get even funner! (Grin)

 

It's time to vote for your favorites in the Pets on Quilts Show!!

I hope that you have hopped around and visited all of the wonderful entries --- and that you know who you want to vote for in each category!

Remember, these are the categories:

             1. Dog or pup and quilt
             2. Cat or kitten and quilt
             3. Other animal and quilt
             4. Dog-themed quilt
             5. Cat-themed quilt
             6. Other animal-themed quilt

We will award viewers' choice prizes in each of these categories, so pick your favorites thoughtfully and carefully!

The remainder of the prizes will be awarded by random drawing, and there are lots of ways to earn "tickets" in the drawings!

It is NOT mandatory that you do each and every one of these things . . . but I know some of you have been drooling over the prizes, and you might want to increase your chances of winning!

So, here goes:
1. If you entered the linky party, you will have commented before, and I will count that.
2. If you have visited ALL of the entries, and left comment love, tell me so in a comment.
3. If you are a follower here at the Lilypad, tell me in a comment.
4. Leave a comment with your votes for all six categories.
5. If you were a PR angel and spread the word through a previous post or Facebook post, leave a comment and let me know that.
6. If you have visited any of our sponsors and mentioned the Pet Show, let me know that.

Phew!

That's a lot of chances to win!

Now, I expect that there will be lots of comments, so please don't get upset with me if I don't reply to them like I usually do!

HERE IS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT!!!!

Ready? Please don't be a no-reply commenter! I don't want to have Mr. Random choose you in the drawing, and then have to let your prize go to someone else!

I try to chase many of you down, but I just can't do it every time.

I had a sweet comment from a Nellie Duclos, and she wanted to enter the linky party, but her settings were on no-reply, and so I couldn't find her! That made me sad.

PLEASE make certain that I can reply or find you. If you are not sure, put your email address in your comment like this:       name(at)gmail(dot)com

OK?
Thanks!

We'll leave the ballot box open for a week . . . that gives you plenty of time to recruit people to vote for your entry -- and they just might win a prize for voting!

After that, you'll have to bear with us while we use our slide rule, legal pad and mechanical pencil (we're hard core) and when we're done, we'll announce the winners!

Let the voting begin!  Right here on this post . . . leave your comments here!

Love,

Some tips for a stress-free party: First and foremost, be patient. It may take a few moments for your linky and thumbnail to complete, so give it time. If you struggle with linking up, give it another try, and if you are still unsuccessful, email me and I will try to help. (You will need to send me your attachment and the blog or Flickr info.) You can send it to quiltnsrep(at)yahoo(dot)com, and you will need to bear with me. Remember that I work well over forty hours a week, so it may be that evening before I have a chance to work with your linky!

 

VITALLY IMPORTANT NOTE: You simply MUST check to make certain that you are not "no-reply" on your settings. You can find oodles of tutorials on the web on how to do it, so I'll not bore you with the details here.

But if you are no-reply, I can't talk to you.  I can't post for you.  My hands are tied.

So PLEASE if you are not sure, put your email addy in your comment for me!!

 

This party will go on for ten days, so spread the word to all of your friends. Let's have lots of participation!

 

We'd love to have lots of shelter pets sleeping on cozy blankies and mats, too, so go to the Padsworth Project page and sew up something quick from your scraps!  A picture posted on Padsworth's page will result in three more entries in the drawings!! Wowza!

 

After you link up in the party, leave a comment saying you did, and then have fun hopping around to see everyone else, and leave them happy comments!

The viewers' choice contest will begin after the linky party closes! (You might want to keep notes on your favorites, to make the voting easier!)

 

Let's party!!

 

Love,

 

 

It's almost here!

 

We just can't wait!

 

It's almost here!

 

Are you ready?

 

The Show starts tomorrow!!!
