I thought about doing this one and then waiting a bit before posting another one. So what would everyone prefer? Another one when this one is done and you would be able to think ahead to entering one in the second one or the third one or just wait awhile and post a second one with a longer construction time? If we did the longer time frame I could do one twice a year. But that might not work either as people will be working on Christmas the second half of the year. We will see.

Right now I just want to get through this one and see how it goes. But I don't mind thinking ahead.

I think 6 a year is too many but twice a year isn't often enough. Maybe one contest for each season?

Ok this is June and this one will be done the end of July. so...... Begin the first of Aug with the deadline the end of Oct and voting for one week and then a week for Patrice to tabulate the votes. then wait until Jan and start one with a 3 mos window of construction and the 2 weeks for voting and tabulating. and so on. We would have 3 a year if that is the pattern I set. with skipping Nov and Dec as that is a busy time for everyone. I like this timing. What do you think?

I like that idea! Good idea to skip the Season with everyone trying to get gifts made. Thank-you, Rhonda.
