Wow! What a weekend! That is the most I've ever scrapped! Thanks so much to Carol, Melinda and those who hosted and for the awesome PP's. I've got a lot of love to leave in the gallery!

So, I am just curious . . .
With an average of 110 LOs created for each Speed Scrap and there were 16 SS, that is over 1600 LOs to leave love for.

What is your plan to tackle that??

I have been doing batches of 10 per SS cateogory. That way, I am hitting all the SS Gallerys.

When do links need to be posted in the master thread for the half and full marathon goodie bags?

While it would be nice to leave love for everyone in the challenges you participate in, I know we are human and can only do so much.

There were many more participants this year and I know that leaving comments for everyone (even if you only did a few challenges) is just unrealistic for many people. We all have things to tend to in our personal lives (the housework and family that has been neglected over the last several days). I'm not going to ban anyone, and nobody will frown upon you if you at least try to leave as many comments as your time allows. I think that's all we can ask for.

Here's one idea: For the people who have limited time to leave love, perhaps look at the 'summary' views of each speed scrap gallery (the pages showing 40 layouts at once). First, leave a comment on anything that really strikes you - and let them know what it is that you find so appealing. Second, look at the number of comments under each photo (visible from the same summary view) and look for layouts that have fewer comments than the others (sometimes layouts at the front or the back of a gallery have more since people might start from one end and not make it to the other). Everyone likes to receive/read comments on their photos, and while I'd hope nobody would be sad for not getting 100+ comments, they might be sad if they don't have at least an 'average' amount? Does that sound make sense/sound reasonable?

Thanks!

Carol,
That is exactly what I was doing. Commenting on the ones that have 0 or 1 comments and then those that I really love.
Even with just doing that. This will not be a short process!!

A lot of people really came out for the marathon!

I'm doing more when I get home tonight. Good idea adding comments to those that have few so far.

I noticed that you can sort the gallery by number of views. I sorted ascending with 90 images per page... that seems to help. While it's not number of comments, they do seem to be coorelated.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU to all of the hosts and the designers who donated prizes. A lot of work obviously went into making this the success it was. So again THANKS!!!!!!!!

This is my very first marathon and I finished eight of the challenges - I have a question - how long after it's finished do we get notified if we qualified for a goodie bag?

Thanks so much to everyone for all the hard work. I so enjoyed myself and have learned so much being part of this group. What a marvelous, talented, friendly, helpful (and so much more) group you all are.
