Thank you so much!!

Thanks for all your effort on this, Madeleine.

I just now noticed that you mentioned we could pick a non-winning category to add as #26. Did you mean a non-winning category from the tiebreaker or from any of the categories originally listed?

You probably know what mine will be. 🤣

I’m trying to guess which one you would choose. Hmmm…could it be number 46?

You can pick one from any of the 94 other remaining nominations.

Possibly! That's the one I'm thinking, but I need to examine the ones that didn't make the cut a little closer. Seriously though...this is a cute book!

This was so fun to work on. Do we post what our plan is for 2024? If so where do we post that?

Just start a new topic (thread) within the 2024 Motley Challenge thread. See what everyone else is doing. Hope that helps.

Thank you Bill. I will take a look

May I still join the challenge with my own thread. I completed the 2023 challenge and thought I had signed up but I guess I didn't so I really don't want to miss 2024.

This is my favorite Challenge. Thanks for all the work you did Madeline. Much Appreciated.
