Blog Carnival Alert: Winter Wonderland

b5media’s Celebrities and Entertainment Channels are having a blog carnival. The theme is Winter Wonderland and I have created a new winter-themed masthead as my contribution:

Doesn’t Allison look all ghost-like and spooky? I totally stole that pic from a banner they had on the NBC/Medium website when they were promoting the new season. […]

Escaped Poll - Be On The Lookout
