I already said quite a bit in a note on my Z entry, so this will be brief. I think I had more fun this year than other years because of my own attitude towards it. Instead of going full blown workaholic on putting the posts together, I chose something I already had a lot of pictures for that needed minimal captions for. It made it easier and more enjoyable to put the posts together. I already had the colored letters from the Celtic Alphabet book by Cari Buziak from other A2Zs so that was easy.
This year was a little different on how many blogs I visited. Instead of trying to visit over a hundred like in other years, I looked down the master list and chose about 50 from there and cut and pasted them into my own spreadsheet. Then it was easy to just click on their blog addresses and visit. Along the way they were culled for one reason or another (they stopped participating, subject not interesting, did not visit my blog, etc.) and I ended up with the list I gave links to in my Z post.
I loved the visits and the conversations on my posts this A2Z. I got gardening tips and learned a lot. I got some fabulous recipes on my sQuash post. The compliments were very much appreciated.

Yeah, I definitely have a tendency to make it into a full-time job if I’m not careful, so congratulations to you for keeping it fun.

“full blown workaholic” I think I need to learn that one Li – I counted 169 photos across my 26 posts – they all needed resizing at the least and that’s before writing! Poetry went out the window for 6 weeks – still – such fun! I will be catching up with yours now the madness is over…

Andrew, I know about having to resize every image. I did find out how to keep images the same size on posts. Put all of the settings for small, medium, and large on 700×700. I will be on a blogging hiatus starting tomorrow and going through June, except for 2 dVerse hostings. See you there and/or when I get back in July!

Lisa, your energy amazes me! I liked your ornamental initials. loved your personal approach to this challenge–with plants in your own garden, and was honored that you not only included my challenge theme on the short list of blogs that you visited, but also shared one of my posts on your own blog. I’m very glad to have “met” you and to know of Tao Talk, which I know I will continue to visit.
