I'm pumping my fist in the air for making it through all 26 letters.
Now I'm fist pumping for everyone else who made it.
Worth it...absolutely.
I met some wonderful, creative folks and forged closer relationships with others who I already knew.
Difficult...absolutely.
I approached each letter post the way a designer would approach their daily sketch diary. One new picture/post a day to sharpen my blogging skills.
Thrilled with my new followers...absolutely.
Thrilled with my new followers...absolutely.
Suggestion:
It would be cool to have a code to identify the flavor of the participating blogs.
W for writing, C for cooking, B for book review etc.
Thank you to the hosts who lit up Bloglandia with this fabulous opportunity.
Fist pumping with you, even though I didn't participate in this blog hop, I loved reading all your posts and getting to know you and your blog better. yay. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLeslie: This was so much fun. I'm glad I found your blog. I enjoy reading your insightful comments and topics. Blog on!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with everyone who took on this challenge and completed it. I couldn't even keep up with all the posts (she admits sheepishly). Congratulations! Well deserved fist pumping.
ReplyDeleteAmen, sistuh. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Yay, we did it!! *joins in the air-punching moment*
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that we connected, Leslie. You've been a great support during the challenge! Thank you for the entertaining posts. Keep in touch!
Great idea, Leslie (about some code to ID blog flavor). Of course, then you might not stumble onto a delightful surprise--a blog that you might not have visited, but turns out to be well-written and interesting.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you for crossing the finishing line.
You're right, Lee. I found some real treasure in my blog travels.
DeleteLeslie, I am SO impressed with you and all the other A-Zers. Wow, what an accomplishment. *passes the Gatorade*
ReplyDeleteI am amazed by you! I bow to your greatness. Congrats on completing the challenge. Now go relax!
ReplyDeleteHah! I have to get that Survivor patch!! Is it just me, or does my blog feel awfully neglected now, after all that intensive posting???
ReplyDeleteAwesome :) Congrats on finishing! You're amazing :)

You're just awesome. that's all there is to it. You and everyone else who completed or even tried the challenge!! I am in awe.
ReplyDeleteI'm pumping my fist with you. As hard as it was, it was also fun! I loved the challenge:)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing. It was a difficult busy month, but I loved every minute of it. My favorite part... meeting new people.
ReplyDeleteI'm still amazed at how many bloggers participated, especially since they had to blog almost everyday. I'm just exhausted thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing in one piece, Leslie! :D
Congratulations on finishing that mega-accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteY'all are so sweet. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea of a code, so you know what you're getting into. The problem is with a blog like mine, I have no idea what mine is. Ha! I'm just a writer, but I don't always talk about writing. So maybe I'd be WBR, like writing and Books and random. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all who succeeded in the challenge!
Congrats on finishing! I am in awe of all you guys who took this challenge. And I agree...knowing the type of blogs would be good. I think all the ones I visited were all writer blogs, tho.
ReplyDeleteIt was work and fun. It would be interesting to sign up under categories. That said, I'm not signing up again! I'm STILL tired.
ReplyDeleteGood idea about the codes. I agree. Especially if A-Z grows even bigger.
ReplyDeleteIt was crazy, Leslie, but worth it as you say. Made lovely new friends & reconnected with bloggers I hadn't visited in awhile.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing A-Z, Leslie! :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making it through the month with your sanity intact (I hope LoL). I glad you participated because if not, I never would have "met" you :)

Woo hoo, we made it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this challenge so much. I agree with the categories.
I agree! We had a lot of fun and it was worth the extra time and stress! :) I like your category idea!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on that and agree with you about meeting new people (my followers increased by 23 when I was on the A-Z)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I gave up early and did not reach Z :-(
Congratulations on acquiring new friends and followers! And Yay! on completing the challenge!
ReplyDeleteYay! How awesome that you finished the challenge and got new followers, too! I really enjoyed your posts each day. I love your idea for the categories for next year. :)
