time to put my thinking cap back on!
the 31 days of the dragon nearly killed me, but who can resist a sweet package like this. i’m drooling all over again!
can’t wait for the details Julie!!
It’s going to be another contest for creative minds :o) More details when I’m able to provide them. Right now mum’s the word.
Sigh. My brain is going to hurt on this one. Guess I will have to plan this out. Wonder what the different contests are going to be like.

Anyways, i’ll try later.

Hi Julie,
Joined your site back during the HP HDX contest. Looking forward to seeing what you got cooked up this time around. I had taken a picture at my school for the HP HDX but never thought it was good enough to be sent in. Its quite overwhelming when you think about what HP, Microsoft and all the participating sites are giving away. Definitely a fun way to spread the holiday cheer.
