Edit: THE CONTEST IS OVER

and the results are in. I'm just organizing the new journal, then you may see all the scores, and our winners~

Yesterday, Friday December 21,^st was the first day of winter.
As the weather cools down, our hearts warm up. The year is nearly over, and with that, new beginnings shall come… With the last season of Ninjago over, and a new one appearing in 2014, it is a time of celebration. So what better time to have a Ninjago themed contest? And with that;

CONTEST ENDS
MARCH 19, 2013

A flake of snow in flurry thro' the air
Had landed as a kiss upon my cheek:
A secret message, just for me to share;
To take to heart but never dare to speak

Good luck to everyone, and may you all have great fun~!
