I feel bad as my entries were put in twice when I tried to fix the picture of the 1 sock, & couldn’t figure out how to delete some of them. Sorry about that.

I’m hoping to have my entry in before the end of the day

I used the drag/drop feature to add my stocking, but the picture shows an http:// — which indicates an error to me.
There are others like this in the list. Will those stockings be visible when the voting starts?
If not, I’d like to try to fix that before the deadline.

What does it mean when there is a green check on the top left corner of the picture? I clicked on the picture when I was loading it, thinking it would enlarge and I could see if the crop was ok. I tried to delete the picture but couldn’t so in case there is a problem I loaded it again…Would like the duplicate with the green check-mark deleted. Thanks.

I clicked on one just know to see if it would open larger to see it better and a green check mark appeared! Well Please delete one Dressed Cookie, Quilt Block, Cross Stitched Name but make sure you also leave one. Thanks.

I was able to delete the extra one but both of mine still have a green check mark in the top left corner. Is that ok ?

To vote, is there a final “enter” button? Or are the hearts in the corner all that is needed?
