January '16 Card Chain Challenge Sign Up!

You know what's beautiful about scheduling a blog post in advance?

It automatically publishes so you don't have to worry about forgetting anything!

You know what's even better about scheduling a blog post?

When you actually remember to SAVE your scheduling attempt so it actually publishes on the day you've shared with the entire free world for the past two weeks!

Oi-vey! I rue the delay....

(Did you notice that rhymed?)

Well, let's see if we can get this thing actually posted, shall we?

Ahem....

(If you're unfamiliar with this card exchange challenge, I've got a brief explanation near the bottom of this post or you can check out the UPDATED Rules and FAQ's.)
