First, I want to say 'bon travail' to all judges It must be so difficult to choose from all fabulous mini kit.
And I am so happy that now is already 6 September there, I am so curious with the different timezone...here is 11 hours start earlier

[AliSarah]

I am so happy I made the deadline!! My hubby just upgraded my computer and more than half my programs... I had to hunt down registration keys, download an ftp client, and do all kinds of things I usually don't have to do in order to get started designing- including figuring out where to start in PSCS6, when I had PSCS3 before!! It's been a crazy couple days!!

Now the curiosity will set in! Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to downloading all the kits! They all look really great!!

Huggles!!
~Sarah~

Ooo Sarah, that's terrible timing. Glad you made the deadline. Love the winter theme of your kit. Very pretty.

Meta! I had no idea you were "MizzKitten". I've seen you here but I'm not around much anymore. I am over at GP a lot and I saw that you had been there for a bit as a designer. I was so sorry to see you go. Glad you are here shooting for the Next Designer position though.

All I can say is I am glad I am not a judge! You are all winners!!!

Managed to post mine last night and was panicking as have been really busy with work this week so almost didn't get everything finished. Of course, it wasn't helped by hubbie nagging me to get out of the office so he could lock it up !

Only had a quick look at some of the entries and they are amazing. I am so glad I didn't look before finishing mine as otherwise I would have never have entered, they are so good!!! Good luck everyone

[Toiny]

I just want to mention... I'm dreaming of your mini's!!! I think having to vote is worse than waiting for the vote results. I absolutely love the gallery.

[Gabri]

I absolutely love the gallery too!!!!
All the minis are wonderful.
I'm also so happy about all the kind words for my little kit!
It makes my day!
Thank you at all!

[makeyesup]

Can't even imagine how this will be judged. After going thru the gallery, I would say you are all winners. Best of luck. Love watching this contest each year.

[mollyscraps]

Awww... that brought tears to my eyes... This is my third year doing the contest and I have yet to get to Round 4 but it is so much fun- the camaraderie between contestants and the support from the site's designers and CT is awesome! Thank you for hosting us Toiny!

That´s because all the minis are "moonrise"-kits

Sleep well this night, Toiny

I also want to thank NancyP especially as she took the time to comment on every LO I made (I'll finish up today) as well as my mini. She has really been encouraging!

[starwarsfans]

Whatever happens, this has been an awesome experience. I am so glad I stumbled across it, even if it was at the very last minute! Thank you everyone for your kind words and encouragement. I have no idea how the judges are going to narrow down the playing field. All the entries are wonderful!

Hi Kimberly! I remember you! I haven't heard about Scrapping Survivor yet this year. I hope it's coming soon.

Didn't even know this was here. But the week has been crazy for me. Our second week of school (I am the asst. director of a preschool) and it has just been so busy. I was so excited about the contest and uploaded my entry and then went to bed. Woke up the next morning so excited to check and someone said I had my blog train download for the download. I am very OCD so I freak out completely. I had clicked on the first link instead of the second. Teach me not to double check (it was late and I posted and went to bed). I scrambled and replaced that and then I checked again before I left for work and it said they couldn't download and I was over my bandwidth. So I go in there and pay for more room and had to run to work. I didn't get to check till later when I got home from work because I had gone out to eat for my birthday. It said they were getting the same error. I go check and it does not show my extra bandwidth. I am really not happy now and went and paid again and it instantly showed so I don't know what happened. I am trying to figure it all out and have been. I signed up for a website but can't figure out how to get the link for the uploads so people can download. I have burned the midnight oil trying to figure it out but it is such fun. I am loving all the mini kits and the spirit and kindness of everyone is amazing. Good luck to everyone!! This girl is here to stay, can't wait to have more time to check everything out.

[Bright Eyes]

Wow, ladies.... what wonderful mini kits. Had a computer crash this last week so had not checked out the gallery until yesterday. So many beautiful ones that I would hate to be a judge. Thank you all for sharing your work with us.
