Visit the flickr contest gallery to check out lots more entries – and to find some inspiration for your own holiday get-togethers!
{Note: for some reason when you’re logged into your flickr account you can see about twice as many entries as you can when you’re not logged in. Not sure why this is happening, but we’ll be creating a separate photo album with all the entries on Facebook soon so that EVERYONE can see all of the pics!
{To enter the contest, you can email your entries to inspiremecontest@hwtm.com or add them to the contest gallery yourself… complete details on the contest page.}

Where are other pictures for Holiday in the City?
or is that the only one?
Thanks Jenn
Still don’t see the other pics in the gallery for that first person’s entry (Holiday in the City). I really like that one. I will be sure to vote tomorrow!
P.S. thanks for your speedy responses and assistance. Happy holidays!
Great pictures. I am so sad international peeps can’t submit. I would have loved to participate.
Oh g8 pix.
Where can I find details for the pink and silver inspiration board?
I just love the snowflake martini glass! How festive, how fun! Always great ideas to be found on your blog. Thanks!

Gaia –
Here’s a direct link to that picture in the contest gallery. I asked the reader to post some sourcing info, so hopefully she’ll be able to do that soon!

Hi Addy –
Here’s a link to the “Holiday in the City” set on flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/amw333/sets/72157611216775393/
I see 3 pics when I click on the link (pretty much the same pic but 3 different angles), but it sounds like something strange is going on with flickr because other people aren’t seeing all of them, plus several images don’t appear when one is not actually logged into a flickr account.
I have to say that flickr is definitely frustrating me with the “disappearing images” thing….I’m probably going to have to download all the entries and create an additional gallery somewhere else tonight…sigh :0
