And now for a little Grinch-i-ness:  

(Opinions expressed are mine, and may or may not be shared by my fellow AJE members.) 

• Email - there is nothing worse than having to delete someone from the give away list because they neglected to include their email. An oversight, but frustrating! 
• Blog - to participate in the AJE challenges, its stipulated that you have a blog. It is an unspoken understanding that you blog be active. No post at all or  posts dates 2 years ago... these are not active blogs. I would say within the last 6 months is reasonable. Life happens; blogs get neglected... 
• Names/blog identity - if I click on your comment and can't find you - I will search your name. If I can't find your blog - I take you off the list. Is it me, or is it frustrating when the blog never has the person's name? Anywhere? In the About section? If I am searching your name, I won't find your blog unless they are somehow connected. Just saying...  (I know this is my pet peeve, and others aren't so bothered by it. ) 

Which one will you receive? 

Having said all that... I need to clean house, blast the Holiday music and then look at MY personal stash. Its NOT too late to start fondling, planning, designing. Have a Merry! See you January 31st!
