It was a year of success and failure, much like life I suppose.
To be fair, I got very close in the two challenges that I didn't complete but just plain ran out of time. Not so bad for a year that included a wedding, a reception six months later, and a huge increase in the gig-activity of Purely Vocals!
Ran out of time on this one, oh well...on to 2013! Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge 2012
