I can't believe we're already four days into June, and the Blog Every Day In May Challenge has come and gone. The challenge lived up to its name, and was
well, challenging. But I also really enjoyed it. I tried to put a personal spin
on each of the writing prompts to make it my own. And I think I was successful
at that. By far the best part about this challenge was meeting new bloggers.
I decided to borrow an idea from my new blogging friend, Erika and
compile a list with all of the posts for the challenge together in one so it is
easy to find and refer back to down the road. Plus, I love stalking my favorite
bloggers as well as new blogs that I discover so this will help any of you who
like to do the same :)
A big thank you to Jenni at Story of my Life for organizing and
hosting everyone for the May Challenge. It was a lot of effort and I know we
all appreciated your effort in having the post up and ready for us to link to
everyday. I was surprised how many people participated, and impressed by how
many of us completed all 31 days of the challenge.
Congrats to all of you who participated,
whether it was for one day or 31 days. It was fun to be involved! I thoroughly
enjoyed getting to know all of you and thank you to all who found From
Foothills to Fog through the challenge and stopped by.
