It looks like they're doing all the 2023 posts, getting all the mods on board and posting all at once. I will be overwhelmed with lists. 😩📚📚

[Netanella]

One List to rule them all, One List to find them, . . .

😂😂

I'll keep a List of Lists and go back for updates

[Alan]

The mods are just making sure all planned challenges are set up correctly. The threads will open up soon.

[Netanella]

We're just teasing, you know. But thanks for the swift reply, mate!

[Kimberly]

Sorry everyone--I tried to set up some last year, but forgot to connect them to the "challenge" thread. I wanted to make sure they all were linked properly, since I haven't done all of them before. I will make sure they're unlocked and moved up!!!
