In April we had participants from Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Germany, Hong Kong (NEW!), Indonesia, (NEW!) Ireland, Mauritius, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United States. If we add in past participating countries Belgium, Croatia, France, and Japan, we're now up to 17 countries represented thus far! That's only 178 countries to go before we can say we have complete global participation!!! (Of course, I'm still working on the alphabet, too, so are there any K or L, etc countrywomen out there who would like to play?)
For anyone new to the CCC, the basic idea is that you receive a fellow cardmaker'sEverybody gets a hand-crafted card so everybody wins!
You also post the card you receive in the online gallery of your choice, and I will post these blog/gallery addresses on my blog along with a picture of the card. Everybody gets increased visibility and/or blog traffic, so everybody wins!
The whole process is fairly straightforward, so the chances of my screwing up are minimal. Everybody - except me - avoids administrative duties, so everybody wins!
