I agree! It’s hard to choose just one (or 2) crushes, isn’t it? I think this blogathon will be back next year. 🙂

This was one of my favorite blogathon’s you have done, Ruth! It is so interesting to see who other people’s infatuations are. Very fun reading about them, too! I hope you do it again some time.

This was a delightful blogathon, and it was all Maedez’s idea from A Small Press Life/Font and Frock. I was a little sad when it was finished.
