Lols.. thanks.. I'm sure it's not Greeting Farm or MFT because I've never noticed them there, so here I go then searching through the quite long list of very generous sponsors..

Understandblue · 10-02-2011, 05:29 AM

Ha! I didn't want to leave anyone out but off the top of my head I believe Stamp Simply and Chic and Savvy

pattyb · 10-02-2011, 05:53 AM

Good Morning! I've got stamping to do!

I received word last night that one of my customers had found a lump under her arm and it turns out that she has Lymphoma, she's just starting six months of chemo - makes me even more proud to participate in this cause!

It's been interesting so far, a couple of the links on the sponsor thread don't work and a couple of the sponsors are offering us discount on our orders and I'm still working my way through the list.
Thanks for narrowing down the search but it's turning out to be an interesting exercise in seeing what's out there..

Understandblue · 10-02-2011, 06:53 AM

Thanks for letting me know! I will check it out as soon as I get home

pattyb · 10-02-2011, 07:02 AM

Hey Lydia, can you open Lee's thread so we can share our inspiration?

Understandblue · 10-02-2011, 07:24 AM

Heh heh - there's a novel idea!!!

done!

muzbysmom · 10-02-2011, 11:06 AM

I made cards for all of the challenges last year and hope to again this year! Got a little behind so guess I'd better get busy! Need to make a Michael's run for some pink cardstock!

Oh em gee, I'm sooooo glad I went through all the sponsors sites, I have found a heap of products I use all the time at about 50% cheaper than I normally buy it at and I'm still looking. sooooo

angelsparkly · 10-03-2011, 07:30 AM

I am so eactied to see the challenge again this year. I was sure hoping for it. It has been a stressful summer for my family so I am ready for a beautiful fall. My goal is the have the most cards made again this year.

we'll see about that.
I do this for my beautiful mother who is a breast cancer survivor and her birthday is in October. So perfect. Best wishes to all.

Yay!!!

Purple Princess 24 · 10-04-2011, 10:22 AM

I have some stamps that are just itching to get 'pinked'! Thanks for the challenges and inspiration!

sasha728 · 10-05-2011, 05:14 AM

I am looking forward to participating this year. My niece (a breast cancer survivor) had her surgery & treatments at MD Anderson.

Question: The rules say that you can't combine challenges. Is that just within the Hope you Can Cling To challenges? Meaning, is it permissible to combine them with challenges outside this event?

Thanks for having this event. I'm not sure how many cards I'll get made but I do want to participate.

Yes you are right - you can combine with outside challenges, just not with other HYCCT challenges.

Jackie Smith · 10-08-2011, 09:12 AM

This is my first time ever do this Challenge for a worthwhile cause. I lost my husband to cancer 3 years ago. Yvette, I will keep positive thoughts & prayers for you as go thru once again!! My blinkie is on my blog!

dakari_chrissy · 10-08-2011, 05:14 PM

This is awesome. I cant wait to participate.

etsdas · 10-11-2011, 04:09 AM

I have run out of time to do more, but I have a few of the challenges completed and will get my packet off to the Post Office in a little bit.

Sigh... maybe I will get lucky any way - those prizes are so great!

Understandblue · 10-11-2011, 04:10 AM

Thank you Dorothy!!! Good luck!!!

siren_kitty · 10-19-2011, 12:21 PM

Are the challenges open to Canadians as well?

Understandblue · 10-19-2011, 12:23 PM

Of course!

atouchof_sol · 10-27-2011, 06:31 PM

Thanks so much to everyone who worked on this event!
I finally got my package mailed out to Houston today, sorry to be so late with it. Hopefully it will arrive there on Monday.

stephanie932 · 11-05-2011, 09:00 AM

Loved playing along this year and filling up my box to send to Houston! Thanks to Lydia, all of the hostesses and everyone working behind the scenes to make this challenge happen.

I mailed my package out today with over 50 cards!!! Absolutely loved sending that box!!!

ravengirl · 11-07-2011, 09:04 AM

While I wasn't able to do all of the challenges this year, I was able to do more than I did last year (if I remember right). And....I have a happy little package to put in the mail today.
