A few days to enter…

Send Me Your Snapshots! There are two photo challenges running concurrently at the moment. One for Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal and another for Tamiko and the Two Janitors. Fabulous prizes are on the line, and you don’t want to miss your chance. Just to be clear:

  1. You can enter both challenges.
  2. This isn’t a contest, and I won’t be choosing a “winner.” You’re entering a drawing. Equal opportunity!
  3. If you only have the ebook or audio book, you can still take a picture for me to share.
  4. Four days left. (This challenge ends when September begins.)
