Stars!!

That's right. The ones out there in space. That's where you've been aiming the past few weeks, right? You set your goal of completing the Challenge and aimed for the stars.

 Well, guess what? Only seven more letters to go. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. That's not just faint twinkling anymore. That's the bright glow of the Challenge's end.

 And when we reach it, we'll be stars. Super stars!

 Now, let's get it done.

    Almost done! I have picked up a few more followers and almost made it 50. I was hoping for a few more but I am pleased since, only starting this blog at the end of January, I have come this far. Good luck on finishing the challenge. I know I will be celebrating my very first challenge ever.

    It has been a struggle to read and comment. I have come to the point that I only comment on those who I have followed and follow me. My followers have really increased.

    Stars indeed! I am going to make it through with all the posts, and have enjoyed it immensely! Fun to have so many followers who comment! That is what makes blogging a social activity, and one of the reasons I started blogging five years ago.

    I am already thinking about next year's challenge!

    Well done Diane! I'm afraid I flunked it last week. But I'm picking up again today! All those who actually manage to complete the month are true stars.

    How beautiful the stars are! I look up at night, on a clear cool night in the area of New York where we live, and I am completely transfixed by how they make me feel.

    Get it done, now ...is a fantastic concept. My Celtic/ Roman Britain theme is continuing so well I think I've amassed enough to make it into a self standing book. And I'm loving my first April Challenge.

    Wooowho! So close to the end! I am so surprised that I have kept up as well as I have with this challenge. Had a recent issue, but picked it back up and moving on.

    Thanks for this! I didn't know I could blog almost daily.
