I'm in a terrific mood today, because not only is it one of those rare Saturdays where I have no plans (this is good news for introverts like myself) but it's also the start of my two week long Easter holidays. This means I now have lots of time to engage in my favourite hobbies-reading, writing and blogging-and this makes me very happy indeed. The lovely, long lie-ins also help :)
Anyway, I've spent most of today trawling through the list of blogs that signed up for the A-Z Challenge theme reveal, bookmarking ones that seemed interesting or had a theme that appealed to me. I didn't manage to get to all the blogs (there are 544 on the list), but I did have a look at about 250 of them, so that's not bad! I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to leave any comments, but I do plan on visiting some of those blogs during the challenge to say 'Hi'.
Here is a 'shortlist' of some of the blogs I'm really looking forward to visiting during the challenge:

I wasn't expecting my blog to be listed there! Haha! Took me by surprise! :)

(No matter how hard I try I cannot get this to allow me to sign in and comment with my wordpress account - also the I am not a robot thing will seriously put a dent in received comments through the challenge just so you know)
There are so many great crafty blogs on the list this year aren't there? Thanks for the tip off about the problems with my commenting system, Kay. I've now switched to Disqus and am hoping it will be an improvement. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I wish I had time to visit them all!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Annalisa. I'm very excited about checking out all the blogs!
