It seems that participation in this challenge is waning. I'm not sure if it is the time of the year or lack of interest. I don't mind doing the lists even if just a few people participate, but what do you all think? Should we continue or let this one rest for a bit? Is it just the busy time of year or do you want a break?

I love this challenge!! i couldn't keep up with the word search one, even though i love it! sadly for me, real life has been kicking my butt though...I have to sit down (once I find time) and catch up on previous months.

That is exactly how I feel about the word search challenge! So fun, but between library books that get returned and real life, I couldn't do it! And why this one works for me, because I can do it in one sitting towards the end of the month instead of keeping track all month. Real life is a pain and only going to get busier! I just posted my finished challenge for October last night!
