We are about to embark on the A to Z Challenge for 2018 and I thought I’d take a minute to share the Reflection posts from the two prior years I have participated. Each year music was the basic theme.
In 2016 I wrote about something to do with music for every letter of the alphabet. Some of the topics were a little off the beaten track such as Funiculi Funicula for F and Xylorimba for X.

This was for the letter “C” – Cowboy Jack |
I was able to finish the whole challenge on time and I am pretty proud of my first abecedarium.
In 2017 I wanted to incorporate my love of scrapbooking with my love of music and so I went through the alphabet showcasing the concert album I am making of all the bands we have seen. I did take the liberty of using some song names to cover the letters rather than the names of the bands.

This was from my letter A for Adele |
I overestimated my abilities for this challenge and could not finish on time, although I did eventually do all the letters and they are linked in that recap post.
Next Monday, the 19th of March, is the big Theme Reveal for this year’s challenge. There are already over 300 participants signed up and there will probably be many more. You can find out all the info and sign up to participate here.
It is a really fun challenge and I have learned so many things and made so many new blogging friends through my participation. I highly recommend it and even if you don’t want to blog, there are many interesting themes out there to explore.

I met you through the A-Z challenge! So glad I did. I’m not participating this year–just have too much on my plate right now. I’m going to enjoy reading them.

Yes, Dawn. Your stories of getting ready to go on your traveling adventure intrigued me as we had thought about doing it too. Now with hubby’s back issues, I’m thinking that’s not going to happen so I am particularly interested in following your road excursions.
