PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS NOT AN ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.There is ALWAYS a specific theme unless otherwise noted that is IS an anything goes challenge. We do have these a couple times a year but please make sure you follow the challenge theme. We are finding that a lot of the entries lately are listing the challenge as "anything goes" when it is NOT!! The entries that list this an an "anything goes" entry and it's not may risk having their entry deleted. You will definitely not qualify for the Top Picks if you list it as "anything goes" and it isn't.

~~PLEASE ALSO NOTE-When there is an ANYTHING GOES challenge, we cannot guarantee ALL entries will get a comment as there are just wayyyyyy toooo many entries and sometimes it's just too hard to comment on all. But we try!!~~
