ReplyDeleteI made it through. I enjoyed taking part and congrats to all who finished.

Just finished my 3rd A-Z challenge! Thanks for the great time!
ReplyDeleteMet some new folks, which is great. Still have some folks I'd like to visit, but in time. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYes, I met loads of new people and I hope we stay friends :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeremy and the whole team for setting it up and keeping us going this year.
Now, what theme shall I choose next year...?

What a great month! This was year 2 fr me, and while the third time is supposed to be the charm, I can't imagine topping this year in terms of organization, punctuality and therefore the time to visit other participants! Always interesting to see what some of the folks talk about in other months!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, i enjoyed this - met lots of interesting, talented people - my favorite blogs list has grown . . like Jack's Famous beanstalk . . . Brilliant - Simply brilliant!!!

Sorry I thinkI commented on the wrong post. Thank you for this challenge. It was a joyride completing it and I am proud I lasted till the end :). The last post has a wrap-up of my journey from a to Z.
ReplyDeletePhenoMenon
We made it!!!!!! What a month...
ReplyDeleteBut the party isn't over! We do what we call a "road trip" where we keep on trucking, visiting blogs (the links stay live) for as long as we have gas. Nicole, Shannon, and I will be heading up this adventure. You'll hear more about it once the Reflections posts are done. Don't forget to link your profound thoughts starting May 3. We really need your feedback - this year's categories were generated by overwhelming opinion that the list needed them. did that work? What did you learn personally? Etc.

Made it to the end and enjoyed visiting a lot of blogs I wouldn't normally have come across. The project has also revitalised an interest in maintaining the blog going forward - so many thanks for that. I may have a few days off first though.
ReplyDeletehttp://richardhallows.blogspot.ie/
All posts made on time, a few days delayed making visits and comments while out of town, but was able to catch up. Need to make rounds from 2 more blogs (just finished 1 of the 3)..preparing posts for reflection. Met some good folks, but sure seemed there were lots of folks who just simply didn't visit.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time doing the challenge and I am experiencing a great sense of accomplishment. I was able to schedule every single post by 8 AM on the corresponding day. Thanks for the challenge!!! Great to meet some new blogging friends and grow in my writing.
ReplyDeleteI DID IT!!!
ReplyDeleteOn cloud 9 :)
I met some very friendly people and enjoyed all the rounds of the challenge. Thank you for organizing such a broad and wacky blog hop!

Woot, we did it! this was my first #atozchallenge and it was super fun,met lots of new bloggers and read so many interesting blogs,can't wait til next April!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone who made it through the Challenge!! I can't believe how quickly April went by. It was another successful venture. Thank you so much to all of you who worked to hard to put everything together!
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines

Thank you Lee and everyone involved in creating this challenge. The road trip is over, now it's time to unpack and reflect on the journey. Perhaps even think about preparing for a new one. My theme was healing with words, it is no surprise that the greatest healing of all happened within me. I gained more than I bargained for - thanks
ReplyDeleteI had a blast and met my goals of visiting and commenting on blogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another awesome challenge.
My first A to Z challenge, and it was certainly that -- a challenge, but fun all the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! See you again soon!
It has been fun! I can't believe it went so fast!
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry Jeremy. You do a great blog and I admire you and those involved in the challenge that brings further awareness of the alphabet. However, I hope this is the last one. Personally, I think it's way too much having a month long challenge.
ReplyDeleteMy best to you all.
Gary :)
It was fun, it was a challenge and I will certainly do it again. There are some many great blogs out there and I think it will take until next April to get through the list.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed it, meeting new people and reading lots of new blogs, and will be carrying on after the challenge is over moving my way through the linky list just to see what I missed.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great challenge. The themes really helped. It was nice to travel to some new blogs and see what interests people.

A couple weeks ago I was asking myself, "What was I thinking???" But I survived. Go me! And kudos to all the organizers and mentors. What fun! Just glad we don't have 30 letters in our alphabet.
ReplyDeleteI've had a great time and sad a-z is over...can you set me another challenge please :)
ReplyDeleteI made it right through to the end. Was a lot of fun writing about all those woodworking tools.

It was great! i had no idea what to expect; now I can't wait for next year. Is it too much to hope for another sooner, perhaps in 6 months? I learned a lot, had fun, met fascinating people - Thank you! Mary at Mary A to Z
ReplyDeleteYay! I made it. Crossing the finish line feels great. Thank you for organizing such a fun event.
ReplyDeleteJust have to say Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. "What a swell party it was" (Cole Porter)
ReplyDeleteFeels so good to make it to the end of the challenge--didn't miss a single post and managed to get them all up in time. And it was FUN! The free time is going to be kind of delightful, though. :)
ReplyDeleteI think my mind is slightly addled!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fantastic month! Congrats to all the survivors!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I enjoyed challenging myself to fuel my Celtic/ Roman Britain obsession. You gave me the platforma and the impetus...and I've hopped on over to a lot of other blogs as well!
ReplyDeleteOops! I'm commenting again since I had no idea how to do this befoe the challenge: Nancy at Welcome to she said, he said

This was my first year participating, and I loved it. Looking forward to next year and possibly recruiting some friends to take part as well!

Although I did not have many followers or commenters, the ones I had were encouraging. And, I was pleased with my posts. . .they stretched me!

A huge highlight for me was making it through to the end of the challenge without falling on my head and concussing myself as I did last year. Any challenge that passes without a head injury counts as a win in my books.
ReplyDeleteI met a lot of great people this time around, just as I did last time. Thanks for making it all possible.
Yep, had a great time, as always. Visited a lot, always left a comment (when I could locate a place to leave it , also refused to prove I'm not a robot - Please!) I never can read those illegible letters and faded numbers - how about you? Met lots of lovely people. Thanks for being such a great part and supporter of the Challenge. I've been a participant every year, too. Loved every minute of it! Best regards to you. Ruby.
ReplyDeleteA-Z was my first blog hop and it was a great experience. I'm so glad I signed up.
