Well, this is embarassing... I want to make a public apology to Amethyst here for completely forgetting about HOTM. Life has been pretty hectic lately and unfortunately I completely neglected to both A) congratulate October's winner and B) start a new contest for November! I'm very sorry everyone - I will do my best to ensure this never happens again. So without further adieu, the winner of HOTM October was Amethyst and her crested gecko sleeping in the flower!! Congrats! = ) We will NOT be having a HOTM contest for the month of November, but look forward to a holiday theme for the month of December ; )
