…without further ado…let the waiting be over…and the colours start splashing…
It feels like forever since I announced it but here are the entries. Thanks to those contributing posts and thanks to those reading them. I can’t wait to read all the colourful thoughts. I’ve had some early birds and really had to restrain myself from kicking off the Blogathon early…I was that excited.
Send any colourful posts you have my way…even spur-of-the-moment ones. Anything with a colour in the title welcome even if you didn’t sign up.
Please come back during the course of the next two days as I’ll be updating the list below as often as possible.
