Liza -- Thank you for posting the great photos!
You've got another entry into the random draw for the gift card. I know that TK is camping and Bret will be here eventually. Hopefully others will come along soon with their photos!!

I'm attempting to copy pics to the thread using my Flickr account, which this is the first time I've attempted to upload pics to any thread in quite a while. If you click on the link, it will show the pics. Maybe with a little luck I'll find a way to upload them into the thread. Wish me luck.

There's got to be a better way of doing this, I just need to figure it out over the next couple of days. If you click on the links, they will show the pic, of which there's pics of the 2010 & 2011 gingerbread houses.

Bret/mvf-m11c is very experienced with flickr, so he should be able to help you figure out how to post the actual photos.
YAY Sherry!!!!! I have been waiting with bated breath for week two
!
May I say that I am loving the spotlight this week, as I have just started perusing your trip report from last December, and I am
enthralled by your New Orleans mask photos found there-in,(as well as those above)--the detail you have captured is incredible!!! You have me seeing things I have never noticed on my own--
Thank You for that gift!
Thank
you for the very kind words,
Cheshirecatty!
You can see that when Pinup Mommy said last week that it seemed like I took a photo field trip of sorts, and I said that was basically what I normally do wherever I go -- I wasn't kidding! That's what I do -- I wander around and take many, many photos, look in shops, eat a couple of snacks and then write witty tales when I get back!
The details at DLR (and especially in NOS) are amazing when you really get into them and see what's there. For example, that photo I posted above ^^^ of the lamp, up close -- the light/lamp has beads hanging off of it, but the little trinkets on the beads are what's interesting, such as the tiny gator, for example!
And when you really look closely at all of the NOS masks, you can see that they are all different (and most of them are double-sided, by the way) in color and theme, but they all have certain common elements like beads, feathers, faux jewels, etc. The faces seem to have different personalities, too.
thanks Sherry for trying. I'm sure everyone is busy, especially the photog's looking for pictures to share!!

No problem. It may take
KCmike (I thought of him because I think he may know a lot about Canon cameras) a while to get here.
Bret/mvf-m11c should be along fairly soon, when he gets his NOS/HMH photos together, and he takes great night shots with his Nikon as well.
I'm mikey may or may not show up!
Hi Sherry!
Did I read to quickly? I didnt see the word of the week listed. If its there please just tell me to go read again. I am hoping to post photos, but I also like the word of the week game.
19~ remembering.
Hi,
Rita!
Hopefully by now you've found it. You must have read too quickly.
You're actually probably better off posting photos because you get a guaranteed entry into the random draw for every theme you contribute to. The code word challenge is going to require speed and accuracy -- it won't be a random draw, but rather, the
first person who gets the entire list correct (in the proper order) with the song title, and then posts it here, will win.
You can only enter the contest for a gift card one way, so if you are choosing to enter through the code word challenge then if you post photos you won't get an entry for the photos you submit. If you want to enter through posting photos, then you can silently follow along with the code words but you can't enter to win that way! It's got to be one way or the other!
It's definitely in there. I just noticed that I was barking up the wrong tree (pun intended) last week.

Corinna -
at the pun!!
But no helping, though!!! If people get it wrong and bark up the wrong tree, it is up to them to figure it out (which they will, eventually)! That's part of the challenge. People have to pay attention and it will all be revealed! Muahahahahahahahaha!!!!
This is the only one I could find!!! This is in 2008-my DS was only 10 months and my DH has lost a lot of weight since then
Hope its ok they are in the photo! But Jack is behind them!

What a cute picture. It's in New Orleans Square -- and NOS is part of the theme for the week too, in addition to Haunted Mansion Holiday. So anything that you have from anywhere in New Orleans Square would work, if you have anything. But either way, you've got a second entry into the random draw!
Of course it's okay that they're in the photo! In fact, it's interesting to see how many folks only have photos with people in them and how many only have photos without people in them, and how many have a good mix of both! I really enjoy looking at both the 'people photos' and the non-people photos.
Sherry, are we allowed to post photos from inside HM Holiday/the attraction itself? I have a few great shots from the ride, but if that's considered to be a "spoiler" for those who have never been to
Disneyland/rode HMH, then I can avoid posting those ones.
Very excited to share some photos here soon, nonetheless!

You certainly may post photos from inside the ride! Of course! I was hoping someone would do that sooner or later!
I love New Orleans Square during Christmas 
Needless to say... I'm very excited. It looks like we'll be sticking with our original plan of sneaking in for a quick trip in early December, with my nieces Lucia and Ana. Now, my question: So, it seems like the CP brings in some crowds. I wouldn't mind this, but my less-Disney-enthused fiancé and new-to-Disneyland nieces are not on great terms with that idea. 
I'm trying to therefor figure out which dates would be better (i.e., less busy) to go on. We're thinking either Monday the 2nd of Dec. through Thursday the 5th, or Monday the 9th through Thursday the 12th. Since Thanksgiving falls unfortunately late this year---the 28th, I think?---I'm a little worried about blockbuster crowds or something. My nieces, being so new to the wonders of Disneyland, definitely get a little freaked out by swarms of people... as does my fiancé, but for different reasons.
