Comment Challenge for October

[Becky Soto]

Another month of Comment Challenge!! Post here when you've been in the gallery leaving some love, and you'll be eligible for the drawing at the end of the month for a free item of mine! :) Happy commenting!

[cj672005]

Cool. Last month was so much fun watching the number of my posts rise. My goal this month is to have over 2000 posts total, or to post 2000 times! 3,000 posts total would be pretty cool. Maybe by the end of November I'll join the 5000 posts club. Who knows? I'm just pleased that last month I commented on more layouts than I had for the whole time since I became a DSP member. 2x's as much!

[Victoria]

I finished September at just over 8000 comments, so have done 100 so far this month. We will be on vacation this omth, so will not have regular internet available, but plan to make comments when I can, as I feel that this is a really important function of being a member here at DSP (and I love getting comments on my LO's as well).

[~sarah~]

I hope to make it to 6,000 this month if not more :)

I have been feeding all the hungry layouts :)

[voniku]

Oooh, I've been spreading comment love!! ;)

Is there a way to differentiate between the posts that were in forums and posts that were actually comments? I mean, is it listed anywhere?

[sammdc]

my goal is to make it too at least 8000 by the end of the month

[sammdc]

oh my just noticed i am almost up to 8000 better extend it too 9000 by the end of October

[LisasMom]

Carolyn - Aren't you in Texas?!? Are you sure you want to leave Donn for a single second to post comments?!?!? BTW - how does he like the flatties?

I think I can easily get to 4000 by the end of the month. I'll try that, but if more come, that's great!!!

[sammdc]

I sure am in Texas and Donn thought it was hilarious watching me stiuck all the flatties up at the Zoo on Monday to take pics of them. He is sitting right next to me as I type our computers are side by side we love jsut hangin out together

[ChristineG]

My goal is to go over 7,000 for the month. Made a nice start today, yakking up a storm.

[LisasMom]

So good to hear Carolyn!!! But let me ask you this - how on earth are you keeping those naughty flatties away from your handsome hunk?!?!? :eek: :eek: :eek:

I have been commenting on new layouts all evening! Now I can't sleep, so I'll go find more to ooooh and aaaaah over!!

[sammdc]

HEHEHHE Lisa I am keeping a careful watch on them and bribing them with a special visit to the Fort worth stockyards over the weekend

[ChristineG]

Hey good morning, got some comments in! Hope you are all well this am.

[sammdc]

lots of wonderful new layouts in the gallery

[cj672005]

Did some commenting in the gallery. Don't know what I had at the end of September. I'll have to check my last post in last months thread.

[cj672005]

Ok. I had 1217 last time. Pretty cool that I've made 70 comments already and it's only 4 days into the new month (I didn't comment every day though. Been working on my wedding album).

[ChristineG]

Got some comments in tonight.

[sammdc]

yes been commenting again this morning but am off to the Texas State Faire today

[LisasMom]

Commented a little last night, will do more today!

Have fun at the fair Carolyn!!! Stop by the granny thread and give us an update when you have time. Be careful though - lots of kidnapping, well *flatienapping* going on over there!! Bring stacks of $100 bills in case PQ gets you!!

[ChristineG]

commented on all of the grannies. Vicki so glad the yapper is back! :D :hug:

[mariafer]

Well I have been commenting... YEAH! Need to do some more today... My goal I think is to finally hit 3,000...

[Jill W]

I've been commenting on and off today ... lots of great LO's in the gallery!

[mariafer]

Did the Feed the layouts which I am hoping will help me get to where I want to be... off to comment some more..

[cj672005]

Up to 1300. Been commenting in the gallery.

[cj672005]

Up to 1370. Been commenting on layouts in the gallery. Not as much as I probably could have, but I've been scrapping a lot, too. Added a few more to my gallery count!

[sammdc]

wow the style lift gallery for thsi month is absolutely superb

[ChristineG]

Carolyn, I saw your avi, and thought for a second you had cut your hair! :eek: Then I saw it was just pulled back. Either way you look beautiful. :D

[ChristineG]

Been commenting off and on all day today. Getting close to 6,800.

[poohbear77]

wow, this sounds like a fun thread. I am going to try it for this month. For those that have been doing it for awhile, are you saying that you do like 7,000 to 8,000 comments a month? Or is that total?

[~sarah~]

I have been feeding the hungry layouts slowly reaching my target :)

[sammdc]

thanks Chris and lisa just been super busy having fun going out and trying to cram as much as possible in to our 2 weeks together and my silly laptop keeps crashing grrrrrrrrr

[ChristineG]

wow, this sounds like a fun thread. I am going to try it for this month. For those that have been doing it for awhile, are you saying that you do like 7,000 to 8,000 comments a month? Or is that total?

that is how many total in the number under your user name. :)

[carolat]

I have been w/o my computer since Saturday - a simple 2 hour upgrade! Anyway, I've been leaving comments - not able to create, but I do have some great pictures! The layouts I have been seeing in the galleries look quite awesome:)

[carolat]

Hey, I forgot to add in my last post - check out the NKOTB gallery. I've left a few comments there and I'm sure they would like to see a few more!

[carolat]

It's Wednesday nite and my computer STILL isn't working - I'm just about ready to buy a new one! Then after checking the ads, reason prevails and I decide to wait until Christmas sales or next year when we have planned for the expense. Now, if I could only talk some reason into my current computer! BTW, I have been commenting on several layouts (randomly) during my down time and checking out the NKOTB - they are doing a great job!

[ChristineG]

hey, hey everyone! :wave: popped in to say hi, (and to show off my new avi :D ) and say I have been commenting. :clap:

[cj672005]

Woohoo 1423! Started this month with 1217. Been commenting on NKOTB and in the gallery. Off to comment some more.

[LisasMom]

I've been roaming the galleries - mostly the new posts - and commenting all over! Did some Halloween decorating too! (Love your cutie little avatar Chris!)
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/hearts.gif Spreading the Love!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/hearts.gif

[sammdc]

Lisa and chris love your new avatars

[ChristineG]

Vicki, I would have picked your little Frank avi, but you already had it, so I had to go make one of my own. :) and thanks Carolyn. Been commenting here and there.

[sammdc]

heheh yawl need to go look at my lovely new purple hairstyle my latest layout hehehehe

[LisasMom]

I saw that Carolyn and commented how lovely you look!! Chris, that was my fifth choice! Each time I would pick one, someone else would already have it! Can't go wrong making your own though - no one else would already have it!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/Monster.gif

[gail0423]

Been commenting on quite a few today! Hit my 12,000th post too :yahoo:

[carolat]

Gail - congrats on hitting the milestone:)

[LisasMom]

Wow Gail!! You just have ALL kinds of reasons to celebrate today!!! You go girl!!
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/yay.gif

[cj672005]

More comments made. At 1440 now.

[LisasMom]

Well, I cruised a few galleries tonight but I'm heading out early! Got some fun new kits to play with today!
Plus!! I beat Gundi over here tonight!!! Way to go Vicki!!! hehehe! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/6639.gif

[LisasMom]

Wow! Hasn't anyone made any comments today?!?!?!?

I was just playin' around with gundi! I didn't mean to scare everyone off!!

Come back and play everyone!! :cry: I'm so lonely!! :cry:

[ChristineG]

HA! See what happens when you pick on me all of the time. :sniffle: :lol: You had better be getting ready cuz we are power scrapping on Monday. :D

[ChristineG]

oh yeah and I commented on a bunch of LOs tonight. I knew there was a reason I came over here. :)

[LisasMom]

The REAL reason you came over here was to see me - go ahead - fess up!!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/makefaces.gif

[LisasMom]

Oh, I know I've been giving you a hard time lately!! Sorry!!
This is for you - but you can share with Becky and everyone if you want!!!
So, friends again???

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/chocolate.gif

[LisasMom]

Yikes! Forgot to specify - that last post was for you Gundi!!
But of course! Who else do I razz so mercilessly?!?!?
(Well, once in a while I get on Impy, but not very often!!)

[carolat]

Wow! Hasn't anyone made any comments today?!?!?!?

I was just playin' around with gundi! I didn't mean to scare everyone off!!

Come back and play everyone!! :cry: I'm so lonely!! :cry:

I know what you mean - a few days ago I made a comment in the afternoon, came back the next night and the last one was mine! I was thinking - where did everyone go?

[ChristineG]

Yummy! Thanks for the candy Vicki! I guess you can be forgiven, but next time I want some peppermint ice cream, my all time favorite treat too. (cuz I know there will be a next time, you can't help but tease me! :lol: )

[LisasMom]

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/ghjhk.gif

[cj672005]

At 1423 now. Wasn't on yesterday. My daughters 1st birthday party. Have TONS (300+) of pictures to scrap now and my camera is being difficult. Have to go to the store and buy a part so I can get the pictures off the camera! Grrrrr. I wish my daughter hadn't broken my other camera. Darn it all. It didn't even last a year! I just got it last Christmas! Now my hubby and I have to buy another one for this Christmas...or before. Can't deal with the back up camera too much longer! It's bulky and very inconvenient!

Sorry for rambling. Thanks for letting me vent!

[carolat]

Made some comments on the New Layouts today - most of my computer time was spent trying to collect fonts. My backup drive recently crashed along with all of my fonts and scrapbooking stuff!

[sammdc]

well I was flying or in transist for 30 + hrs but home now and ready to comment up a storm

[sammdc]

if I dont pick up the pace I am never going make it too 10 000 by NYE

[LisasMom]

well I was flying or in transist for 30 + hrs but home now and ready to comment up a storm

I thought that was you I saw flying around!!! Better get rested up after your long journey!!

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/wit33.gif

[LisasMom]

if I dont pick up the pace I am never going make it too 10 000 by NYE

You'll make it Carolyn!!! Rest up and you'll get your chat back!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/smiley_consoling.gif

[LisasMom]

Oh yea! After all that, I forgot to say that I've been in and around and about all over today - mostly with the new layouts - but with some others too!

[LisasMom]

Hey all you yacky ladies!! I found this over in the NKOTB forum, posted by Bethy -
The We-Need-YOUR-CC Challenge!! NKOTB10 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27178).
Bet we could help them out over there!! :yes: :yes: :yes:

[LisasMom]

I think I'm waffling!!! I must be sleepwalking and got lost out of the granny thread!

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/MissMyMind.gif

[sammdc]

great Idea lisa on the NKOTB challenge tho I find it hard to say negative things to anyone about thier layouts but I will try in keeping with CC

[sammdc]

oh and yawl should go check out the Take Ten gallery totally amazing layouts over there

[carolat]

Been commenting around - mostly New Layouts today - and working on some of my own pages!

[ChristineG]

Been commenting here and there and everywhere! :D

[ChristineG]

Caught a bunch more comments this morning. I am slowly creeping up on 7,000. I think I will be there before the end of the month.

[sammdc]

chris you well and truly be up to 7000 by the end of the month

[LisasMom]

Chris, you'll be there before the end of the night if you go on a little *comment binge*!! Go, ahead!!! Go for it girlfriend!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/party-1.gif

[minnmom79]

I just made some comments for the NKOTB! I tried to give some useful suggestions!

[cowboy]

Have done some posts. Will endeavour to do more.

I think it is important to compliment scrappers on their work and show that their layouts and ideas are appreciated.

[carolat]

A few comments on New Layouts

[cj672005]

1476 now. Not too many this month. Been busy creating layouts and preparing for my daughters first birthday. Now I have TONS of pictures to scrap and I'm in the middle of preparations to get my business up and running. Lots of stuff to do!

[ChristineG]

Made a bunch of comments off and on today, now I need to actually get something done! :lol:

[LisasMom]

Chris!! You should go on your *binge* tonight and break the 7000 mark!! You're only 28 away from it!
You can do that blindfolded with both hands tied behind your back - no problem!

http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/halloweensmilies5.gif !!!Go Gundi Go!!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/halloweensmilies5.gif

[LisasMom]

I've been commenting off and on throughout the day but will be doing much more tonight!
I need to break my 4000 mark soon if I ever want to grow up and be like Gundi!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/winking.gif

[sammdc]

woohoo go Chris :)

[sammdc]

Lisa your doing great you willbe at 4000 before you know it

[sammdc]

I've been commenting on some of the NKOTB layouts I really dont enjoy the whole CC thang tho as I think its so subjective what one person might like not neccessarily what someone else does.

[carolat]

Been making random comments throughout the day.

[LisasMom]

Lisa your doing great you willbe at 4000 before you know it

Almost there Carolyn!!! I have been EVERYWHERE tonight commenting on EVERYTHING I could find!!!
Now its over to the granny thread to post the big 40 (00)!!
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd317/JakesNana/HappyFeet.gif

[LisasMom]

The best part is that I have beat Chris at something!!
I don't think I have ever beaten her at anything!!!!

(I know what you are saying Chris - that you hit 4000 long ago,
but as we were both sneaking up on our next *milestone*, I
darted right past you and won!! Fair and square!!

[ChristineG]

[ChristineG]

Notice she didn't bother to invite me to the race before declaring victory. :lol: That's ok, though, cuz I have a little surprise set up for her. Click the muscley dude in my siggy if you want to see. :D

[ChristineG]

Oh yeah and the real purpose for my visit to this forum. I have been commenting. :D Almost to 7,000, notice that is a SEVEN, not a FOUR. Hmmmm, who do I know that is on a FOUR? :ron: Oh yeah and we won't mention the fact that said person signed up with DSP 3 MONTHS before I did. Hmmmmm :ron: ;) :lol:

[sammdc]

[sammdc]

and congrats to both Lisa and Chris for reaching your milestones

[LisasMom]

[carolat]

I have been commenting on Stylelifts - you need to check out the gallery - awesome work there!

[ChristineG]

It took me all day to get everything from the granny thread commented on, but I did it! Wahoo!

[scamptx]

GundiChris--you stay up way too late, and I get up way too early!

Been commenting on the last two days worth of inbox, then getting sidetracked and posting on others in the galleries!

[ChristineG]

Yep and here I am again, staying up way past midnight. Been commenting all day and now I am going to bed. (This is the only time, my house is quiet, w/o children and a billion phone calls demanding my attention.) :)

[sammdc]

hehehe scamp I do the same start with the inbox then end up going all voer the gallery following one great layout too another

[sammdc]

I've had a wonderful lazy quiet day at home finally feel like my body clock is straighten back to aust time

[~sarah~]

Yeah way to go CJ !!!!!

Been doing random commenting the last few days.

[LisasMom]

Haven't started much commenting today yet but I wanted to point out this thread that Bethy started: NKOTB10: The Who-Helped-You Challenge! Round 2 (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27248). I loved how the new kids really appreciate the comments and help that people give. It was so cool reading their comments about our comments! Really makes it all worth the time when you see their appreciation like that! Check it out! :yes:

[cj672005]

1523 now. haven't been commenting as much. trying to catch up on scrapping some pictures. hopefully i'll be able to comment later, but I don't think I'll reach my goal of 2000 by the end of the month.

[carolat]

I've been doing random commenting - it's the best way I've found to get out of a creative slump :)

[ChristineG]

chatting and commenting, commenting and chatting, haven't gotten much done today :)

[scamptx]

commenting before layout, commenting after!

[carolat]

Commenting after upload :) Good night.

[ChristineG]

more comments for me this morning.

[carolat]

Been doing some random commenting - seeing some great photography!

[ChristineG]

I commented last night and this morning.

[ChristineG]

Oh and in case any of you didn't see, hard to believe cuz I am so excited that I keep posting this pic all over the place. Look what I ordered today:

http://www.beachcamera.com/assets/product/images250/E1F6698D9B6444F3ADE4189AF649C5C2.jpg

[doda]

I've been out commenting here and there! Lots of awesome creativity and beautiful layouts to look at! :)

[scamptx]

At work, I can't log in but I commented in a word doc, came home and used cut and paste! :lol: :lol:

[carolat]

Just got back from the Feed the Hungry Layouts thread in the General Scrapbooking area. Haven't been commenting there in a while. Some of you ought to give it a try!

[cowboy]

I have been commenting here and there for the past weeks. Hope I have been encouraging. I know I am encouraged when I receive these comments.

[ChristineG]

commented some more tonight.

[ChristineG]

oh look I went over 7,200 and didn't even know it. LOL

[~sarah~]

I have been feeding all the hungry layouts :)

slowly reaching that 7,000 mark.

[LisasMom]

My last comments for a couple days. Going *partying* for the weekend - my daughter's birthday bash at a local resort. Be back on Sunday night. Someone please keep gundi in line for me!!

[AliceAMattison]

I've been feeding all the hungry layouts. Reached the 2100 milestone today.

[sammdc]

not me I am swamped at the moment last week with my senior class at school and my daughter is moving out into her own place this weekend and I've been so busy

[carolat]

Left a few random comments around. I can't believe we've made it thru the 1st 9 weeks of Kindergarten! It was just as stressful for me as it was for my son - I'm not used to this school behavior thing. Don't know what happened to 6 week grading periods, but I guess that went the way of all things except Mexican Food Wednesdays in the cafeteria :)

[poohbear77]

Been leaving comments almost every day for those in the NKOTB contest. Just got done leavin some love

[scamptx]

I've been commenting randomly, and in some people's galleries, trying to make up for missed layouts!

[carolat]

Made a few comments this morning - getting ready to take the kids to the park :)

[cowboy]

Well, Becky, I am up to 200 postings (in total not just for this challenge) - never thought I would make that many.

[WhitsEnd]

LOL! i have been commenting in the gallery to see if that little saying by my user name would change and then i ran across this......LOL!
and yes, that little message does change and i have been trying to leave comments for users that are new and don't have a lot of comments yet, like me, to encourage them to keep on scrapping!

[sammdc]

I have 1500 to do between now and dec 23rd thats my goal

[ChristineG]

Vicki LM, where are you...... :cry: You should see all the trouble I have gotten myself in, while you were gone. :lol: I even forgot to post after I have been commenting.

[cowboy]

Been sending my little words of encouragement to other scrappers and getting some good ideas too

[cj672005]

Yeah. Don't think I'll hit 2000 posts by the end of the month. I've been busy scrapping some new photos and trying to sharpen my kit-making skills. But I managed to make a few more. Maybe I'll at least get to 1600 by the end of the month. I'll change my 2000 post goal to the end of next month. :) Seems more realistic to me. :)

[ChristineG]

More comments from me, just went over 7,300! :yahoo:

[~sarah~]

Here it is post number 7000 !!!!!!

:clap: :clap: :clap:

[cj672005]

Well, I'm over 1600 finally. :) 1633 to be exact. Off to scrap some more. Back later to comment on more LO's!

[sammdc]

well done CJ and chris your doing really good with your commenting . In 2 weeks my work life will settle down and I am planning on hitting that magic 10 000 by the end of Dec

[sammdc]

oh and in the mean time look at my layout count woohoo 1 more to 800

[scamptx]

I'm bouncing around commenting here and there!

Edit to say WooooHoooo to CarolynSamm! Make that 800th layout a doozy!

[carolat]

I made a few more random comments this morning - finished up in the Stylelift gallery. I'm sure I'll be at 2,400 by Trick-or-Treat time tonight!

[~sarah~]

I have been feeding the hungry layouts :)

[sammdc]

heheh I made it too 803 layouts woohoo

[carolat]

2400 - Time to go trick-or-treating!

[poohbear77]

So now that it is the first of the month and I can concentrate on this a little more, how does this challenge work exactly? Is it a cumulative running total of how many comments you leave or is it month by month?

[sammdc]

really its just a thread to encourage us to comment on the layouts in the gallery dont have to count anything we like to set little monthly goals to motivate ourselves to reach them each month and to get us commenting on layouts.

[poohbear77]

well I did a few comments today, hopefully will get to do more this weekend.

[Becky Soto]

Great commenting this month!!! I've pulled 3 random winners, and they are...

cj672005!!!!!
