and A HUGE thank you to all our fabulous SPONSERS!
Let me tell you, it took Rudolph and me quite a while to draw all those!
Please, please, please look at the lists carefully because I don't want anyone to miss out on seeing that they are a winner. I'm so sorry that we didn't have prizes for every single participant as you all made this event so special.

As you know this challenge was put together to be a celebration of our dear friend Janis. At the time of posting I don't have any plans to repeat this, although I have to say it was enormous fun and I enjoyed every moment. You guys really made this such a special remembrance of Janis and I am so very grateful for all the help and encouragement I received from James, Gail, The Helpful Hoppers and everyone who took part. The Cat Lovers Hop was Janis's 'gig' and she did it brilliantly. I don't want to try and replicate what was her unique and original idea. I can't really explain why, but (for me) it just doesn't feel like the right thing to do.
Thank you to everyone who took part or
was involved in this tribute challenge for Janis.
Wow! What a mammoth task for you. Lovely to see my name up there. Thank you so much and for all your hard work and congrats to all the winners. I will send an email.
