http://mugsmousepadsandmore.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/everything-you-need-for-st-valentines.html
This last was quite a challenge as I’ve already written posts in previous years about Valentine’s Day recipes, The
History of Valentine’s Day in relation to the Minnesang and courtly love and Valentine’s Day in Wales (St Dwynwen’s
Day).
My card links don’t seem to be working so trying again –

I’ve never taken part in one of these contests before so I’m wondering where the entries will be posted for voting.
Hi Judy, I think it says 11th January as the closing date is 10th Jan.
Good luck with yours.
What I’m wondering, Angela, is where/when we can see all the entries?
I had to wait for WordPress to resolve an issue with polls, without which I couldn’t offer voting. The issue has been fixed, so I’ll be putting up the cards for voting tomorrow.
Corrie
Thank you, Corrie 😉 I was just wondering whether I’d missed something as I’ve never done this before.
