"Holiday Decorating Contest - 2013 . . . "
Last year's "Christmas Tree" winner - Steve Fuller.
Greetings,
Well, the holiday season is finally here again! And since we had SO much fun last year - sharing images of our homes all decorated for the holidays - let's do it again. For those of you who have been long-time readers, you'll know how MUCH I love decorating for the holidays. The smell of fresh cedar. The feel of pine sap on my fingers. Maybe some holiday music on the stereo.
I really want to see what y'all have been up to . . . So, I'm pleased to announce the fourth annual" Tartanscot Holiday Decorating Contest! "
There are four categories that you can enter :
1) Christmas Tree ( lights. ornaments. creativity. )
2) Dining Room ( it's one of the best times of the year to entertain. Let's see that dining table! )
3) Front Door ( wreaths and garland and lights, oh my. )
3) Front Door ( wreaths and garland and lights, oh my. )
4) Holiday Pets ( let's get Fluffy and Fido in the holiday spirit too! )
Last Year's "Dining Table" winner - Delores Arabian
How to do it:
1) Decorate your home and/or pets.
2) Take digital photos.
3) Email your images (along with your name and address) to "HolidayContest@SMWDesign.com"
And it's not just for bragging rights - images of the winning entries will be posted here on Tartanscot during Christmas week - and I'll also be announcing our special prizes for the contest later in the week.
But, don't think it will just be me here - throwing darts at the wall to see who's going to win. Tune in to meet our panel of Celebrity Judges - a collection of designers and writers from around the world.

I may be wrong but isn't this the 4th annual contest? I'm pretty sure that 2010 was the first year. SO looking forward to the entries - best viewed with holiday music and a yuletide beverage! Thank you!
You are SO right. Lordy, where does the time go!?!??!
fourth annual,
Scot
