Yeah! What a day for celebrating! Jeremy sure made us some awesome art! Be sure to grab your Survivor Badge before you leave, and the Reflections one, too, if you'd like to help promote that. Once the linky is up, you can link the badge to the list for everyone's easier access!

Yeah I was finally able to complete the challenge for both of my blogs and I yet I had to do a lot of catching up as I wrote 21 posts in a day to catch up with the challenge. Up to the mid way through I was regular, posting daily and i did make new friends too.
Yeh! Thanks to everyone who had a hand in creating and organizing this Challenge. I enjoyed being one of Alex's Ninja Minions, and I had a blast as a participant, too. :)
This was my first year participating in the challenge and wow, what a wild ride it was :D Had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again next year!
Learning from previous survivors sure helped me out--I had never thought of pre-scheduling posts--that sure helped to keep up and have time left over for visiting and making new friends. Thank you, to all the co-hosts. Great job to keep us going. I just hope this isn't the end of a beautiful friendship! Just as my "Z" says...
Yes, I met new friends....and I'll be doing a cover reveal for her on Monday, so hmm, perhaps I can tie that in w/ a refelctions post.
Yay! I made it, and this year was easier than the last because I was prepared!! Met some wonderful new bloggers along the way!
YAY!!! Now I believe I will be taking a slight breather from my blog ... until reflection day of course. :)
I almost thought I wouldn't make it through the whole challenge but I improvised and here I am, done! Thanks!
Yes, it was one of the best things I did on my blog! Totally enjoyed it. Just one more post to go. But this time being my first, I think I achieved the first: posting everyday. Networking and making new friends, I definitely could have done much better. Lesson learnt for next year!
Hi Alex and all co-hosts - great to have participated once again ... and apart from a squishy last few days with a dying C drive ... I'm here having posted Z ... and yes I'm pleased my theme worked.
Wonderful new friends made .. not too many but plenty to read up on and enjoy their blogs and comments .. congratulations one and all ... Hilary
Yay! Congratulations to everyone who made it and thank you to our wonderful hosts. It was my first year participating with a group, and I had a lot of fun. I got to meet a lot more new bloggers this way.
This was a wonderful experience! Exhausting but so satisfying.
Oh I am sad it's over! I love this challenge! We had a ton of fun!!! thanks so much to all of the wonderful hosts who put this all together! It was fantastic!!

This was such a great experience! I learned so much from so many people and so much about myself. I still need help though--how do I replace my badge to the survivor one? I used a link last time but I don't see one.
Thanks!
Renata
I honestly have no idea how you get around and comment so much. You must be very organized, or never sleep Alex. I appreciate all the comments you had for me and for Faith, as well as all the encouragement.
Congrats to everyone who finished the A-Z 2014!!
This was my first time here.And I joined in late by 12 days.I did try to compensate by posting 2 posts a day...and boy, it sure was worth the effort!
Very memorable and a definite challenge for myself as I work 11 hour days. Was a good thing we had Sundays off ;)
Hello there.
This was my first time taking part. Made it all the way to the end. It was fun but exhausting. Congratulations to all those who posted everyday and survived!

Great ending, 'z end'. Too funny. I still have to post my Z, but I think I can do it before the end of the day. Glad I made it thus far and hope to make it to z end. Maria, "http://delightdirectedliving.blogspot.com/"

Can't believe I have made it to the end! I was very nervous at the beginning but now I can say it was the most beautiful experience in my life. I was in a writer's block for months but this challenge has filled me with freshness, enthusiasm and zest. Now, I am back in form again. Thank you all!

Four members of the RATs (Radical Abstract Thinkers) started and all four have finished, that is good. . . .
Well done to all who have done it......
Cartwheels and high fives all around!!! My first journey and I will have withdrawal pains, i know. Altho my creaky fingers are begging for a break. Such an awesome group of co-hosts and helpers. Y'all are The Best!
Hooray! I did make some new friends and found new blogs during this challenge. See you back for the reflections post.

Now I plan to reflect and share.

This was fun. I probably wouldn't have succeeded by posting every day. Instead, I posted several batches. Over the next few months, I will be revisiting some of the bloggers and checking out new ones.
Thanks to everyone who hosted.
It's been a great ride and all thanks to the team of the A-Z! Thanks so so much. You've all been so great with your encouragements all along. Now for some zzzzz's - at last!

It's a wrap!
I had a blast!
Thank you to the hosts/co-hosts for everything you did to ensure the challenge ran smoothly!
It's my first challenge and I survived, but miss the mystique it held for me. You'll see me next year! http://www.writer-way.blogspot.com
The A-Z was actually a lot harder (and more time-consuming) than I thought it would be but I'm glad I participated! It was a great blogging rejuvenation.
Thanks for coming up with this challenge :) This was one of the best blogging experience for me :)
I did it :)! It's challenging but fun. Thanks, y'all for hosting this challenge and thanks to everyone who has visited my blog! I posted the links to all my A to Z posts in one post today.

Yay! it was amazing, a wonderful experience, can't believe I'll get back to my less hectic life now hahaha, thank you very much, I did all i could considering the circumstances and I'm proud not only of myself but of all my fellow bloggers. Probably will be repeating this again.
This has been so much fun and I thank Alex for gently pushing me to the right direction and join:) Lots of fun
This was a great challenge to be part of! Thank you so very much :)!
Just one sentence to express my feeling
Too much regret that I didn't know about this challenge before
Enjoyed this challenge, thanks to all who helped do the behind the scenes work and the motivating as the month progressed. Thanks Lee and all the teams! The A to Z is a good exercise in discipline, for me.
Thanks for the challenge! Looking forward to the reflections.
This was indeed a great experience. 26 days with 78 posts :) I made lots of friends, visited many new bloggers ... enjoyed every bit of it.
Another adventure, all done and dusted :) . Three cheers for my cohosts !

Thanks to the A-Z team for being such awesome hosts. You make the Challenge the special blogging festival it is.
thank you for the fun with this, and for the hosts giving us courage along the way. I didn't post everyday, thus getting behind, pushed me to get caught up, I kept up with the comments, and got some new followers. Thank you to everybody who stopped by. my last post is here
http://ussminnow1964.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-z-blogging-challenge-z.html I plan on joining the reflection...
Yes, I did it! This was my first year of participating and I had great fun. Found some wonderful new friends and new blogs to follow. Thank you for hosting such a great event, and special thanks to Damyanti for her continued support throughout the challenge.
Will definitely be back on Monday with a reflection post, and can't wait to read other's thoughts too.
*Now where did I put my bed again?*
Yes I did it! It was a wonderful experience and I thank the co-hosts and all the A-Z team members, all my readers and supporters.. it was great really! I don't want to make it sound like an Oscar speech. But I just want to say I am glad I participated and will be soon writing my reflection post.
