Well these things don't happen instantly but they do happen!
Voting has now opened for the finalists of the People's Choice Awards 2009.

Here is the direct link to the page: http://survey.constantcontact.com/surve … ag4r/start 

Congratulations to all of the entrants, the standards were very high- the jury had quite a challenge on their hands. But I'm sure you'll all agree the Finalists were very deserving.

OH ME TOO ....HOW EXCTING...FINGERS CROSSED !!     :pray:  :pray:       

Is there going to be a link via the website or is that the only link above. I went to the ABC site and can't seem to link through to the page from there. Am I looking in the right place?

I am SO thrilled to have 2 finalists in the People's Choice Awards!!!   :dance:  :dance:  :dance: 

I am a little sad that my bunny didn't make it through (he's in the showcase section) but am just so, so happy that my 2 bears did.....especially as I've been on a bit of a downer in regards to my creations lately (lost my mojo a bit).....it's given me a bit of confidence back now!

HUGE conrats to everyone else!!!!  :clap:

Hi Sheryl,
Just wanted to let you know that I've had a couple of emails about this, I think we might have overloaded the system, but it seems to be ok now, though I have been astounded by the amount of votes already!
So if anyone has any trouble with the link, please wait a little while and try again - if the problem persists (I feel like Dr Mel  ) can you please send me an email to let me know, because I would hate to think that your vote couldn't be registered + it costs alot of money to host these things on the servers (and even they have to earn their keep by giving us reliable service  ) so we have to keep them honest!

Thanks for the support everyone- I know the finalists appreciate it!

I tried to vote last night and it wouldn't let me - said I had already taken the survey???? I just tried again and it says the same thing - frustrating!  There are so many lovely bears I want to vote for.

                                                                             hugs,

                                                                             Brenda

Okay, don't give up - third time is a charm!  I was finally able to vote - YEAH!  Congratulations to all the nominees and good luck.  The bears are all wonderful.
