No problem.
I've updated the spreadsheets. We have 415 points and are on the 5th spell out of Dandelion. :) I don't know if I can finish my book by then. I just finished one and put it in the spreadsheet.
It was great to work with all of you. Rubies you did well!Thank you Allison Ann, Cheryl, Diane, Michelle, and Mollie!
We did well! We worked great as a team!
I submitted week. I for sure will not finish this book in time. We still did great!
I think we've got this Rubies! :D
Great job, team! I JUST now got home. Power outage at work and chaos ensued. Not the end to my Saturday I was anticipating but it's all good. Rachel, you have been the best co-captain and partner in crime. It was fantastic having you on the team! You are super organized and on the ball.
Everyone, great job and thanks for another fun challenge!
Aww thank you Michelle. We couldn't have done this without you! The power outage sounds bad. I've been working like crazy all weekend and now tomorrow is my only day off and I'm really looking forward to it.
Great challenge everyone!
Michelle and Rachel, thanks so much for your awesome captaining. Cheryl, Diane and Mollie - it was great getting to know you all a little. Hope to see ALL of you in future challenges. I keep checking back to see if the official totals are up. Driving me nuts! :D
