I will keep skating and perhaps this time next year I will be posting Roller Derby videos! π Thanks again to trE at Cornered Gurl for being an early inspiration for this fun fit gathering and to blogger Belladonna for adding some energetic spirit to this challenge. ππ» I also want to thank my daughter, Sammi, for collaborating with me on the prize side (two winners announced tomorrow).
Although I will not be a regular host of blog challenges, Iβve had a wonderful time and greatly appreciate everyoneβs contribution. A variety of examples have been shared, from gardening to DIY projects, to digging and more! Thank you!
Little did I know weeks ago when I offered this up that this would also be the week I would be wrapping up my novella before forwarding my first draft to my editor. Thatβs the way life goes sometimes! I am grateful for all of it! π
