Last chance to enter and dress... due by Midnight Tonight.

Sign up then Dress up for Christmas (using only current armory items - if it isn't in the armory now, you can't use it), and name your entry (36 characters max). To help us verify all armory items are currently available, please tell us where they are found. We want to make sure this is fair for all contestants since some were not here last Christmas season. All screenshots must be taken by Thursday at midnight.

Twist: Pick a number between 1 and 15 to be part of "the hunt" with a maximum of 2 people on each number. Hunt instructions will be distributed after the closing of the Dressup on Thursday night.

There are only 15 numbers, 2 people signed up for 14 I think.

 

[LovesToRead]

I'm a little bit confused.....I have number 18 beside my name.....is that NOT the number of my "hunt" number?

Am I just supposed to pick anything between 1-15 myself? Sorry, I thought this part was being assigned....

Thanks for the clarification

 

[LovesToRead]

I *think* I get it now...I do the questions for number 3??? That is the number I signed up with and I read the rules again and believe that's what you mean....

If not, please just let me know, thanks!
