ABC Will Be Back.........

I think everyone who has followed ABC challenges over the past 3yrs can relate to the sadness felt when we learned that Vicki had decided to close it's doors after all her hard work getting the blog going and keeping it going. So many challenge blogs have started up since then but ABC was/is one of the originals and I know it is held dear to our hearts.  Therefore we could not sit back and watch it fade into Blogger history.

ABC Challenges will be back with a bang, under new management, on Saturday, October 1st and we hope you can join in the celebrations with us. 

There will be a DT call next week

Watch this space.......
