Storystorm2018 was the BEST, Tara! Thank you so much for putting it together.I did amass a wonderful notebook full of ideas…and I took the advice of one of the guest bloggers and went back to my previous PiBoIdMo/Storystorm notebooks to add those ideas to this year’s. If they are in lots of notebooks, chances are I will not work on them. And congrats to all of the winners…thanks to all of the prize donors!
