I know the voting is over but I stopped by to thank you for sponsoring the April A to Z Challenge again this year, Arlee. Also, I did have an opportunity to visit Manhattan a few years ago, had no idea what to expect, will never forget the wonderful experience!Gail M Baugniet - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543343067963247963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-53520075764249816562016-03-22T15:42:10.372-07:002016-03-22T15:42:10.372-07:00Melissa, I believe I visited your theme reveal.

There's no place like it and I can't wait to see what you come up with for each letter. I'm sorry, but I didn't really like either band, but if I had to choose I'd go with number 2. A bit slow for me, but better than number one. If you visit my theme reveal, I think I'm number 244, and if my blog is still loading really slowly, please don't give up on me. I started a blog make over and was assured it would be completed well in advance of the challenge, but the theme reveal slipped my mind. Everything will be working properly and loading timely in time for the challenge. I hired the design team manly to get rid of the Disqus comment platform and decided while i was at it, it was time for some cosmetic changes.<br /><br />Thank you again for creating this amazing challenge and opportunity for us.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-21813274236413983252016-03-22T11:48:41.436-07:002016-03-22T11:48:41.436-07:00How fun!
