      1. Hope so. Had a ton of fun participating in it. Thats a teaser Tracy. Now I can’t wait to see what else you guys have in store. Hope we see it soon!! And hopefully it involves seeing some more of these sweet virtual cards.

        And Of course hoping you guys do it again next year.

        Thanks for a fun 17 weeks. Looking forward to the next chapter you guys might have with this!

  1. Didn’t vote for him. I wouldn’t say it was an upset this week though. A lot of lesser known rooks made the round this week.

  2. I have ALL the Virtual Cards! I plan on doing something with them, maybe figuring out a way to have them all printed on card stock somehow so I can have hard copies of these great cards! I’ll figure something out 🙂
