YEAH YEAH WOOT WOOT!!!!! 
I have completed all 365 Cards for the 365 challenges at 365 Cards.
My friend Rose Miller and I met and hooked up in early September of last year.  She was doing most of the challenges at 365 Cards and I was doing them hit and miss from April - August.  Well we started chatting back and forth and before you know it we were challenging each other to complete all the challenges at 365 Cards.  BTW Rose who's bright idea was it to challenge each other???  LOL (ok I must admit it was me who challenged Rose)  When we entered into this challenge with each other I had about 50 of the old challenges to make up and I think Rose had about 15-20.  Well along the way I kept saying I can't do this.....I will never get all of them done.....YOU WIN ROSE.  She would not let me give up and kept saying "You are not going to get out of this challenge that easy."  She just kept pushing and pulling me along and I think even had to drop kick me once or twice.  Well I just kept plugging along doing a few of the old challenges here and there and by February 9th I only had 4 of the old challenges to complete.  Then I really stumbled and got sick with the shingles and was in so much pain and not able to get the energy to do any of the challenges for two weeks.  So I really fell behind which meant I had 27 cards to make by the last day of February.......in 5 days.  Rose still didn't give up on me and when she called on February 22nd she told me she did not want to cross the finish line by herself and that I needed to get well so we could walk hand and hand on the last day just like we had planned way back in September.  Well Rose here I am give me your hand girlfriend....WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
