Oh girl! This is a slammin' idea. I'm so playing.
I love this book - in fact when it first came out I met a group of online ladies and we started doing the badges together. We've been great friends ever since!
This is so interesting. I'm so glad I found your blog or else I would've never found it.
Im in! How long will this run?
