Our theme for this month was: In Honor of the Roman God, Janus (god of doors, beginnings and endings, transitions facing forwards and backwards)
For the first time, under our new rules, the winner will NOT have to host the next contest. However, the winner--sinkingfeeling-- will be awarded the prize of selecting the theme for the FEBRUARY contest and communicating the theme to the VOLUNTEER Host for February, Mira, by February 1st!
Here are the winners!
