[reptimom]

Hey Guys - how come the home page still says "enter now" instead of "vote"???

 

[AFH]

That's what I was thinking.

 

[Lin Hill]

Errmmm..... did anyone else notice that voting will be taking place from feb 16th to feb 31st!!!!!!!!!! Lol.

 

[Drone]

I'd like to vote feb 29th.. LOL!

I think the choice of photos this month is awesome. I think it won't be an easy one to predict. I voted for one of the Jackson ones but really almost all are winners in my opinion!

 

[Dez]
