Hi folks,

Just a quick note to say I’m taking a break for Thanksgiving. I expect to start posting again on December 1, 2010. In the meantime, I want to point out that many of the contests I post are ANNUAL events. So, if you’re really bored while I’m on break, you might want to scroll through to last year’s posts. For those of you who celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving!

Wendy
