I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it……
Yep, I’m a dork. Can’t wait to check out all the link ups.
Thanks for a shot at the title. 🙂
Can hardly stand it! Super excited to see all the creativeness!!! Thank you for keeping this contest going!
I’ve been trying to add my link and it won’t let me because it says there is no back link. But, I’ve added two links back to you! 🙁
This comment has been removed by the author.
I, too, have been trying to get my link up and it’s saying that I have not back linked to you (but I have). I’m with you Sam M! 🙁
I’m having the same issue. I’ll check back in the morning. Thanks for the opportunity ladies!
Same here!
Hi Jess & Monica, so excited! Thanks for this awesome opportunity! Your blog is fantastic, so glad to have found you via blogtalk. Have a great week, Jen
Thanks so much for the opportunity ladies! Such a great competition. So glad you guys are keeping it going!
Woot!! I’ve been looking forward to this…thanks so much for a fun contest! Can’t wait to see what happens!
This competition is sooooooooo fantastic! It’s how I “discovered” you!!! So many creative people in one place–brilliant!!!
So excited about this contest!!! Thanks for the opportunity to get creative with these amazing ladies! Fingers are crossed! 😉
Thanks for everyone’s patience as we got the linky working! Good Luck!
What a fun contest! Thanks for the opportunity, would love to work with any one of these talented ladies. 🙂
It is so funny but I wonder why I don’t see my posts any more after making a refresh?
Thanks for hosting this amazing contest! Can’t wait to see who’s chosen!
Whoop there it is! 🙂 Thanks for the rockin’ party!!
Jen
I’m such a sucker for a good contest. Thanks for hosting, ladies!
Been looking forward to this contest!! Thanks, and good luck to everyone!
if only you can hear my {EEEEEEK} I am excited. Thanks for this fun opportunity. Hugs, jen
(I’m sorry that I already posted this comment – at least I thought I did! I can’t find it.) Does it count as ‘your own work’ if your husband has completed the ‘power tool’ parts? According to my instruction, of course! lol
*gasp*
May the odds be ever in your favor (not “ever be”)
HG blaspheme!
(And good luck everyone–can’t wait to see what you do!)
Waving my hands with excitement over here! Thanks for the chance to get an opportunity to work with some great diy’ers! ~ Angie
Hi there! Is if possible to submit an entry if I don’t have a blog? Lots of projects, but no blog. 🙂
I’m so excited to be surrounded by such tough competition. Thanks ECC for this amazing opportunity and thank you to the amazing stars that are lined up!! Fingers crossed.
So excited about this! Can we enter more than once? I noticed that someone actually had 4 entries up there…
Love this idea!!! Thanks for continuing it…sending a large glass of wine to all of the stars as it looks like you have a tough job ahead of narrowing down with all of these entries!!! So exciting!!
This is such an awesome contest – so excited! I “liked” on Facebook, but I don’t have a blog Facebook page, just a personal one. Is there something I need to do (like email someone with my name) so that it can be shown that I actually liked the page? Wouldn’t want to get disqualified on a technicality! 🙂
Wow, there is some stiff competition out there. :)Love it!!! Wish I had time to join in. I am so excited to see what happens!!
I just linked up and I’m so excited!!!
Yay! I am so excited.
(my husband groaned in the background because the last time I was in a contest, the entire house was neglected and I don’t think he ever recovered, lol!)
Whoop whoop!!!
Like Kristin above, I am really interested to know the rules about the number of projects you can submit… This is such a fun contest though! I’m excited to finish my entry!
Wow – what an exciting contest!!!
Can’t wait to check them all out!
I’m linked and following!
Hugs,
Suzan
Hi Suzan!!
Good luck!!! It can’t happen to a nicer person!!!!
Pam
How fun! Thanks for hosting this, I submitted a link and am so nervous!! Love each of the Blog Stars too!!
Thank you for hosting this, Monica & Jess and the awesome sponsors. This is exciting, can’t wait for March to arrive!
Heard about this from a fellow blogger, I am linked and following. I see some very talented people on here and I am honoured to be along side of them. And very thrilled to be part of this. hugs Tobey
Have I ever told you both that you are a party just waiting to happen. 🙂
This contest looks like so much fun! Thanks for putting it all together!
blessings,
karianne

OMG! What a fun contest! So many amazing projects! Thanks for putting it together! SMiles, Jill
How do I add the Creating With The Stars button to my WordPress.com blog? I’ve got my post all ready to go, but I can’t figure out the code!
Thanks for putting this all together! Looks like sooo much fun!
ahhh! I’m getting so excited. Can’t wait to find out who makes it! Needless to say, I’d love the opportunity!
The suspense is killing me! I’m going to have to take a break from my computer for a day!
What a fun event! So much talent and inspiration. Good luck to everyone. Laura @Top This Top That
This is just an awesome idea love it.
You guys are awesome! I am wiped from staying up way too late working on my project…but now that I submitted it, I am going to go breath. 🙂 I have LOVED looking through the different projects…SO many great people & ideas!
~Sarah
Just have to say I’m wallowing in self pity at this point. I had a TOTALLY awesome makeover for you and it’s NOT done and it won’t be ready tomorrow either. Going to each chocolate cake and pray for a chance with what I submitted!!
This is really fun! Having a hard time keeping the link, but all the info is there with a link to your site. So many amazing projects here! Good luck everyone:)
Christy
I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not to enter and finally took the plunge tonight! I am sooo sooo excited for the challenge and can’t wait to see who the finalists are … not to mention who they get to be paired with! … keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you! I’m a little late to the party but better late than never 🙂
Thanks ladies for this amazing opportunity! We’re so excited! There are so many great projects linked- we don’t envy you gals having to choose! We’re saying our prayers! Best wishes!
Thank you so much for this Fabulous opportunity!! Can’t wait to see who makes the final cut.. There is a lot of stiff competition here. 🙂

Wow, I’m number 340 (way out in Siberia…) At least it’s been fun discovering new blogs. Thanks for the contest.
Thank you for giving me the incentive I finally needed to start my blog! What a great opportunity for us newbies to join the Stars of Blogworld!
I actually made it in time to submit. I’m so excited! Thanks so much for continuing this awesome friendly competition. I’m loving all the fun projects submitted and am loving finding all kinds of awesome blogs out there. I do not envy you guys having to choose just 12. Good Luck! And thanks so much!
I feel like a little kid waiting to open presents on Christmas morning. Thanks for creating such a great contest! All the projects are soooo awesome! Hopefully the last two finalists don’t try to eat nightlock. bad joke 🙂
What a load of great content! All you ladies deserve a BIG pat on the back for your super creative minds! Best of luck to all!
Love this contest! My entry #338 isn’t showing the thumbnail for some reason… it cut off part of it. Not sure if you could fix it or not, but I thought I’d let you know! Can’t wait to see how the contest goes!
So excited about this contest- its the first of its kind I’ve ever entered and I am a new blogger- Thank you Blog Stars for the opportunity!
Just curious though, is this the page I will refer my followers to to view my entry for a shot at #12? Or am I missing something and there is a different page I should send them to?
Best,
Tracie Gulit
the bunch
Is there any way for us to know where we are ranking for clicks?
I am more than excited and Thank You to all
the Blog Stars for this wonderful contest.
I have posted on every site I can think of,
Facebook, Pinterest and my blog asking (no
begging) for some clicks…
Good Luck Everyone entered… no I want to
win!! haha
Thanks again
Sandy
