Trying to keep posts short was a huge challenge for me, I can pour out 1000 words in no time, but trying to say the same thing in 300 words was so satisfying. Maybe next year I will try a more pictorial approach as you did and see what that stimulates. Congratulations on winning :)Ida Thoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479961947050289284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-90651058063365205302013-05-10T12:33:50.932-07:002013-05-10T12:33:50.932-07:00Whew...1700.
