Hi Everybody! My poor Mom is cross-eyed from all the work helping me get everybody into the right polls and in all the stuff for the trip – I can’t believe how many of you are coming along on this trip AND have entered the contests. Seriously. I’m blown away.
Today is the LAST DAY though for photos – and I MUST HAVE THEM BEFORE NOON Eastern Standard Time…….please…….why? Well we still have a lot of work to do before tomorrow’s voting polls that’s why. If I receive your photos AFTER noon my time, it will be too late to be in the contests. I might be able to talk Mom into sticking you into some of the scenes for the trip BUT too late for the contest OK?? OK!!!
ALL TRIP INFO IS HERE http://wp.me/s1ynMw-moonwalk
Now, about the polls which will be in tomorrow’s blog. THEY ARE HUGE……..especially the spacesuit competition…….I am allowing MULTIPLE votes so you can vote for ALL your favorites and I’m also only letting you see PERCENTAGES and not NUMBER OF VOTES for each person entered. That way there may be a little bit of mystery about who the winners will be at the Awards Banquet at the STARDUST HOTEL on the Moon this week.
There are THREE polls………….
SPACESUIT DECORATING (top three voted favorites will win prizes)
HOTEL ROOM DECORATING (one prize for most votes)
MOON MONSTER (one prize for most votes)
That means it will be a VERY long blog tomorrow!
ALSO, you will have just tomorrow to vote – – – – The post will go “live” at 1AM Eastern Standard Time instead of the usual 3AM Eastern Standard Time…….and I will close the voting at 8PM Eastern Standard Time. Mom and I will work on Wednesday to tally everything up and get things ready for the awards AND I’m going to REMOVE the polls from the blogs so you can’t peek back and see what’s what! I want there to be SOME surprises for you on the trip !!!!
You guys have been wonderful about getting your material in on time……I have to say that even though Mom and I have checked and re-checked and checked again, at a point we are so tired we aren’t sure if we really truly have everybody loaded up in the right spots!!! Mom had a THREE page chart that she used to try and keep track of things but when we ran into problems uploading to the polls or with Pizap to photoshop you all into scenes, who knows whether we ALWAYS remembered to go back and try a second, third or even fourth time. BUT WE HAVE TRIED…….and I’m just saying this “in case”……..if in the end it turns out you sent something to us but didn’t see it posted, you’ll get a prize too – how’s that for fair???!!!! I don’t think we’ve missed anybody but you know….I’m covering my furry rear end ! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Before I go and allow Mom to take some Advil for her considerable headache (tee hee), let me show you Miss Layla’s fabulous Moon poster again………….this trip is gonna be SOMETHING ELSE – truly!
All Aboard!!
(oops – that’s for trains!)
Countdown Begins Now
February 27th BLASTOFF

Good morning Sammy and Mom Pam, Really hope you got those last two photos from our mom. Since she still has two hours (tee her of our own), she is going to try to finish up the photo of Mau and Allie and send it. And with paws-crossed, you will get it. It is so annoying the problems we have had getting these photos to you. But we are all getting supper excited and cannot wait to blast off. Extra hugs to you both for all you hard work!

I just DOUBLE TRIPLE CHECKED email and nothing from your Mom.

Hi Pam, I just got another message that the e-mail with the last two photos bounced. I am so frustrated, I don’t know what to do. I sent the one of Mau and Allie this a.m., but I am sure you don’t have that either. I am going to try all three again. I am shaking, I am so angry as I don’t get the message these have not been delivered until 24 hours after the fact! Going to try again NOW!
