Bloggiesta Wrap Up

Another Bloggiesta has come to an end…I’m
bummed, but feeling pretty good. I got a ton done and I always end up
finishing these events feeling not only super productive, but also
energized about blogging! 

I want to say a big THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Suey at It’s All About Books and Danielle at There’s a Book for hosting this.

Things done that were not on my original list:

  • Emailed winners of August giveaway and got books ready for mailing

Time spent during day 3: 9hrs.

Current running time: 26 hrs.

All
in all it was one productive weekend and I already have another list
of things to do for the next Bloggiesta, which will be March 29-31, 2013.
Now I am excited to visit everyone and see how much they got done and
see if I should be adding more to the new list!!!

    I feel like I worked a lot on stuff for Bloggiesta but didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to. I'm spending the rest of the evening try to finish up a couple of things. You got a lot done! I'd like to see look into drop down boxes, too. Maybe next time we'll get to that.

    Wow! You accomplished loads! Well done!
    I loved the organisation mini challenge 🙂
    I still need to write a wrap up post!

    Very impressive list with so much done! I love the finish line graphic. I should have used that in my wrap-up post!

    wow, I thought I had done a lot, but your are really the Bloggiesta queen. I'm especially impressed by the number of reviews you wrote, I'm so slow at those!
    I love your About me page, and am happy for you you are married also to an avid reader. My husband and I also spend lots of time reading, and I can't imagine what it would be to have a non-reading spouse, though alas several book bloggers are in that case.
