Can't wait for the announcement to be made today?

UnderstandBlue · 11-07-2010, 05:08 AM

WHEE!!!

Well since I have to compile a list of way more than 2000 entries, I can't PROMISE you'll find everything out today.

I might have to tease you for a day while I type!!

Hey not fair! You've already been teasing us for a month!!!

coffeestamper · 11-07-2010, 06:36 AM

Good luck to all of you~

muzbysmom · 11-07-2010, 07:04 AM

I am totally amazed at the number of entries there are! I got so used to doing challenges that I did the Featured Stamper one for today! I ended up mailing three separate packages to Houston - the final one went out last Wednesday.

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see who's on the winner's list!

stamp300 · 11-07-2010, 07:48 AM

Really, are we going to find out today....that would be so exciting. I can't wait.

That is so awesome that many cards were sent out for a great cause. Congrats to everyone.

superjen · 11-07-2010, 09:50 AM

Lydia, I hope they have some good tools for you as I do not envy your task! You are entitled to some teasing if compiling your list is even half as time consuming as I'd guess it would be.

melmel · 11-07-2010, 10:31 AM

I'm excited to see who the sets are going to, I plan to go to the PO tomorrow once I hear the winners!

(hey, they're closed tomorrow for Vetreran's day, rigth??)

eliotstamps · 11-07-2010, 10:53 AM

Melanie, the post office is actually closed Thursday. I saw the sign when I dropped of my box of cards yesterday!

Scrapcollectr57 · 11-07-2010, 02:40 PM

Kudos to everyone who participated in this cause. What an accomplishment! Feels good to be part of such a supreme effort!
*smile*

stephanie932 · 11-07-2010, 03:41 PM

I'm so anxious!!! I think we all got the best prize of all..........sparking some enthusiasm in our card making and knowing that someone in need is going to smile when they take a look at all of those wonderful cards!

Yep.....We are all winners!

UnderstandBlue · 11-07-2010, 03:45 PM

I agree! I've made more cards regularly this month than any month all year! I love challenges, period, but these were special since I knew some special ladies would get them. So fun!

I won't keep you waiting too long for your goodies

adctd2stamping · 11-07-2010, 03:51 PM

Stephanie932, you are so right about all of us being the winners!! Hip, Hip, Hooray for all of the crafters that are making Lydia work so hard!!! Lydia....it was worth it ...right?

UnderstandBlue · 11-07-2010, 04:01 PM

Absolutely! I adore you guys!! I still have all kinds of beauties to comment on. This gallery is really spectacular - you have to admit it even though it's your own cards!

Ksnurse · 11-07-2010, 04:59 PM

Agreed...the gallery is just fab....Gonna be some fun goin on in Houston...what a blast to be able to go through all these gorgeous cards and be able to choose any of them you wanted to send to your loved ones....way better than telling family to go to store and pick out something for you to send.....To take a cue from Bertlady (sp) TWO THUMBS UP GALS!! Y'ALL DID GOOD...REAL GOOD!!!

stamp300 · 11-08-2010, 03:55 AM

Good morning...still anxious to see who wins....

UnderstandBlue · 11-08-2010, 04:31 AM

That's right, the wheels are in motion!

I'm attaching a list of our contestants who have completed all 32 challenges. These peeps will all be eligible for our Etsy shopping spree among other prizes.

I will be checking eligibility on these, while our elves in California assemble the larger list of prizey peeps from the 2153 (!!!!!) entries in the HYCCT gallery!!

I'll be back with that info as soon as I have the report!

**EDITED *** - adding tygerpaws11 to the list

Scrapcollectr57 · 11-08-2010, 04:34 AM

Thanks for all your hard work, Lydia!
Love,

superjen · 11-08-2010, 04:36 AM

Ditto that and good luck to everyone! I'm only up this early to check prizes. Just Kidding. Seems my 2 year old doesn't get the concept of Daylight Savings Time. 5:55. Too early to do anything but surf the threads

stamp300 · 11-08-2010, 04:38 AM

WOW! Someone on that list will be excited. You have me listed twice though. Thanks for your hard work Lydia.

Crafty Math Chick · 11-08-2010, 07:40 AM

Thanks for all of your hard work on this Lydia. 2153 cards?!! That's awesome! I wish I could be there to see the looks on their faces when they receive all of our cards.

kmgosha · 11-08-2010, 08:03 AM

Yes, wouldn't you love to be a mouse in the corner - well not in a hospital, but hypothetically, and see the looks of amazement, wonder, laughter and tears of getting something for the shear joy of it all? It warms my heart and totally amazes me that I took on this challenge and actually finished it - now I need a vacation.

I have such respect and admiration for you and the others who finished ALL of the challenges. I really would love to be a 'fly on the wall' there when they open them.

UnderstandBlue · 11-08-2010, 09:41 AM

Well first I want to share a letter and an email from Maggi Suttles, who is the sweet woman I worked with at MD Anderson...

She said she looks forward to the mail each day, because she is the one that gets to open our packages and distribute the cards, and she's amazed by the beautiful handmade art!

Loved this...

"Oh my gosh… the time that your group has put into making these beautiful cards is incredible! I’m so glad that they are come to me before getting distributed to our patients – it’s makes my day to open these gifts!"

I'm attaching a letter she sent as well - if you included your return address with your cards, you will be getting a note of thanks from MD Anderson in the mail.

Bev Barton · 11-08-2010, 09:59 AM

What a nice letter she wrote in response to the card challenge. It is so nice to hear that they are being distributed already. I am sure she is enjoying opening up the mail.

Thanks, Lydia, for sharing her letter with us.

stamp300 · 11-08-2010, 10:02 AM

WOW! Reading that letter gave me the goose bumps. What a nice feeling it is to make a smile on someone's face by receiving a beautiful card.
Thanks for sharing the letter Lydia.

Cook22 · 11-08-2010, 10:06 AM

Thanks for sharing that letter, Lydia.
I like warm fuzzies

Clownmom · 11-08-2010, 10:25 AM

Thanks for sharing that letter, Lydia. It came from the heart and warmed mine!

UnderstandBlue · 11-08-2010, 10:32 AM

What a sweet letter. Thanks for sharing it, Lydia.

Kathleen Curry · 11-08-2010, 11:09 AM

Thanks for sharing the letter Lydia. I'm so glad these cards are already bringing some smiles to the patients. I think we are all winners here. This was so much fun all month long, and I bet we really made so many happy at the hospital! Win for everyone! Thanks for all your time putting this together!
