The contest officially ended on Friday morning Eastern time at 3 am / midnight Thursday Pacific time. I went ahead and added Su Shi's and Marianne G's Late entries to the list and voting module, but a ton of people have already voted :/ I am hoping that for my Christmas contest you will enter earlier perhaps? To let people vote on your entries? I thought I had written the rules clearly :(
I am crossing my fingers and hoping for both of you.
