I did as was suggested, but now seem to be stuck in the last part of the submission. I'm wondering if my entry has been accepted. (The icon for viewing my entry keeps spinning, but nothing else happens.) Have I entered successfully? Mary

I am trying to submit an entry in the Instructable Hand Made Christmas Card Contest but can't get to the *next step* when I click on that button. Any suggestions on how I can enter this contest before tomorrow's deadline (Dec. 14)?
