Ribbit! Ribbit!? Padsworth here, and I'm your emcee for the show!
PLEASE READ all of the post today -- you want to be sure that you know the rules and know how to play!
Today is the day! I'm so excited that I already fell right off my lilypad! This is it! The Best Show on Earth -- the 2012 Pets on Quilts Show!
Today is the start of a whole lot of fun and fellowship -- quilters from all over the world are going to post in our great, big linky party, and all of you can hop and bop to see all of the wonderful pets, quilts, and new bloggy friends!
Our sponsors are ready --- Snoodles and I are ready --- I sure hope you are ready!!
I have my pencil and my notebook, and I'm comfy here on one of Snoodles' quilts:?
I want to keep track of the ones that I like the best -- even tho I can't vote . . . that wouldn't be right. But you can! Next week we'll ask you to vote for the viewers' choice awards, so you better write down the ones you love the best!
Snoodles' studio kitty, Moses, couldn't be bothered . . . he wanted to keep enjoying his nap:

Now, here is how our Pet Show will work: You'll be posting your photos of pets on quilts, or pet-themed quilts on your blog, or on your Flickr page. Then you come to our linky party and link up directly to the post with the photo (or the Flickr photo) not just to your blog. We want to jump right over and see your entry --- don't want to have to search for it! (Grin)
You also need to make certain that you use good blog hop manners and include a link in your post, so that visitors can click and come right back to the Lilypad to see even more fun and cuteness! So be sure to place that "backlink" somewhere in your Pet Show post, OK? We thank you!
If you don't have a Flickr page, email us at quiltnsrep at yahoo dot com and we will help out. Please bear with us and we'll get to it as soon as we can!
Here are the categories for entries:
- dog on quilt/ dog themed quilt
- cat on quilt/ cat themed quilt
- other pet on quilt/ other pet themed quilt
- Best EQ pet theme quilt design
- Best Art quilt
Our rules post is here if you have any other questions, or you can email Snoodles if your question is not answered there!?
Now, voting has not begun, but you CAN start leaving comments:
? ? ? 1. Leave a comment here and tell me that you have?
? ? ? ? ? joined our linky party.
? ? ? 2. If you are a follower, new or old, leave a comment
? ? ? ? ? to let me know.? Separate comment, OK?
These are your first two entries in the prize giveaways, so be sure to do this!
And if you are not sure that your email addy will show up, include it in your comment --- I sure wouldn't want you to miss out on a prize!!
Of course, we are hoping for lots of entries and lots of comments, so please bear with me . . . I might not get to answer all of them. (Kinda hard to get these froggy toes to work the keyboard, ya know!)?
When the linky party is closed, you'll be able to earn one more entry by visiting ALL of the contestants, and leaving them comment love. At that point you can leave a comment telling me that you did that.? (I'm a smart frog -- don't leave a comment saying you've visited all of them, before the linky party is even closed, OK? Heehee!)
Make sure that you leave comment "love" for the contestant, alright? No meanie comments in this linky party! (Grin)
Also, when the voting begins, you can leave your comment for that -- but we'll post details on that next week, OK?
Now, I think we have covered everything, but if you have a question, just holler! Ribbit!
Let's party!! (Linky party, that is!)
