The Top Three Meet Dis-nee (CMO Contest, Part Three)

[JenniferAtl]

Ok, SO JEALOUS of your room! NO WAY! What I would give for an organized space for all my scrapbooking stuff....can I come to your house to play? Please?

You are welcome to come by and play any time!

 

[KigerKat]

Ok, sounds like we've got several already that could use the first ever DIScrap Weekend.....

I think we need to put another "S" in there, or else it looks like DIS-CRAP!

DISscrap!!!

 

[BigThunderMtn]

...first ever DIScrap Weekend.....

I have a feeling that MadBrad wouldn't disagree with that name.

Cathie just called!!

Any word on the Throw in the Towel???

 

[KigerKat]

Cathie just called!!

Justin won the Loudest Crowd Competition!!!!

WOW! Justin is really kicking butt out there!

WAY TO GO!!

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

Any word on the Throw in the Towel???

Good question T.....I will get right on that!

See how efficient I am with this when I am procrastinating my life?!

 

[JenniferAtl]

Jenn,

Where did you get all the paper trays and storage bins. Some look more retail storage. Did you find them online?

I get a lot of display catalogs for my business, but none that are like that...
And who put it together for you....And would they come build an addition to our house and you can come design it for me...and while we're at it I could REALLY use a mudroom too....oh and maybe add an extra bathroom? Hmmm, maybe we'll just stick to the scrapbooking room.....let's get our priorities straight, right?

You are so funny!

It is called the Paper Station and I ordered it from: http://www.bestkeptmemories.com/

It has saved me so much time having it all laid out in the racks. It is so much easier to find the right color. My husband put it together for me, he said it was very easy.

Cathie said they are having a blast and Justin was very sweet and got her a VIP pass for viewing the parade...

It is fun to get the updates. Tell Cat thanks! Sounds like Justin is already acting like a CMO, getting Cat the VIP pass and all...

I know isn't that great of him!!! I am sooooooo happy for her, she really deserves this! I told her how everyone is so very appreciative of her updates!

CATHIE UPDATE:

The towel competition was, again, just for fun.....they didn't even declare a winner to the three. Again, Cathie wanted to add that these competitions have no effect on the outcome of the contest. Well, other than our personal pledges to vote for the winners of course.

Right now they are all in the VIP viewing section for the Parade. It just is so very exciting. I told Cathie how much everyone is just loving her updates. If not for her right now we wouldn't know anything!

Cathie said that her pictures aren't great of the competitions because she was enjoying them at the same time. She will post them later.

Hugs and tons of thanks to you Cathie!!!! YOU are really making us a part of all of this!

For a scary-type bulter, you make me laugh.......

Umm, let's just keep that between us. I have a reputation to uphold.

Hey, 1st, how many entered your contest overall?

They never released figures to us, but based on YouTube videos that we were able to find and various rumors -- we figure there were about 100 entries per each of the five categories. They narrowed this down to 20 finalists each and then the public voted for a month. At which point the five top scorers in each category were proclaimed winners.

Fortunately, the voting only counted for 16% of the score and the rest was the judges score. I don't think Disney totally trusted the public to pick the "right" candidates. They're being more trusting this year.

One other comment... I thought that this year's contestants would miss out on all the friendships we made last year, since there would be only three finalists and one winner. I was wrong -- thanks mostly due to the wonderful community of DISers.

 

[JenniferAtl]

Thank you so much for your kind words about my room. I used to scrap on the dining room table and it was always such a mess. Then, I moved to one of the spare bedrooms but soon became pregnant with our daughter. My scrap room became her bedroom. A lot of my stuff was in storage until we finished our basement. It felt so liberating to unpack my things in my own room!

I am all up for a DisScrap weekend. Not to be confused with crap. A Virtual Dis-Crop!

KigerKat: The house is beautiful!


Ok, I want to be there like Cat watching the competitions!!! I want to know what they all did to get the crowd excited. I can't wait for Disney to upload their videos!

I'm so glad we can all live through Cat!

Now THAT was a very sweet thing to say .....and you still have the scary-type guy thing down!!!

Just got back from the Magic Kingdom! Main Street competition was GREAT. I've got lots of video and photos that I'll be posting here shortly.

Finally met Justin, Tripp, and David (as well as Cathie!)... they're all so nice and would each make a GREAT CMO.

Stay tuned...

So MadBrad: What would you like to talk about you ole' grump?

We call my father-in-law the original Grumpy. He has a different Grumpy shirt to wear every day on vacation and always pairs them up with the right Grumpy hat. Last year for MNSSHP we all went as Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. I need to dig up a picture. My DD4 was Snow White and well, the rest of us were the dwarfs.

I just noticed that on the main cmo site it says..."come back each day for new videos"...Maybe that means one new one a day

 

[Marshay]

Cathie just called!!

Justin won the Loudest Crowd Competition!!!!

She wanted me to reiterate that these competitions are just for fun....they have NO IMPACT on the competition with regard to winning.....ONLY VOTES COUNT!

Cathie said they are having a blast and Justin was very sweet and got her a VIP pass for viewing the parade...

She will be posting pics and all later.

The reps there said the contest would be a live feed on the main site. I told her that that never happened.....

FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very, very cool!!! Hmmm, now I guess my theory is wrong...if Justin wins one more, than I will publicly state so!

Hmm, does that mean that my bag o'tricks that I sent to Justin are working???!!!???

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

"Hi Anne," says the other Ann (e glaringly missing)

Long time no see.....how's it going? New job???

Catotigger said they told her that they would be streaming the competition live today.....but no such luck!

Maybe one video a day is it then.
