LOL, same here.... ATY is my priority for challenges, I really like this group. I have about a million others, including retro challenges to do previous years categories. Not at all sure if I'll attempt Pop Sugar or Book Riot this year. For some reason, I have an obsession with making out the plans.


Veronica ⭐️ | 90 comments Haha. I'm not even going to try a retro challenge. 2018 will start with a clean slate.
