Blogging From A to Z April Challenge Theme Reveal!

 Yes, it's time again for the April Blogging A to Z Challenge theme reveal!  


What?  You've never heard of the A to Z Challenge?    It's a challenge for bloggers.  The challenge is to make posts during April, one a day with Sundays off, from the letter A through the letter Z.  On any theme you want.  In fact, as long as the posts are A to Z, no theme even works, just call it "Random A to Z"!  This will be my sixth year participating.  I missed 2019 here, participating with a different blog, and 2023 completely when I was recovering from COVID.  

In the past my themes were garden related.  Winter Sowing.  Herbs. Flower.  Miscellaneous Gardening.  This year is something completely different!  Not so different if you are a regular reader though.  Sundays have been devoted to Sunday Stamps and Thursdays to Thursday Postcard Hunt.  I discovered those blog hops due to a post on the A to Z site in February 2024 when the question was asked, "... what are your favorite blog hops...?"  The host of both Sunday Stamps and Thursday Postcard Hunt commented, with a link to their site, and I jumped right in!  

So, without further ado, as they say, here is my theme for 2025:

A to Z: Dog Breeds on Stamps

See, not a surprise!  Stamps and my favorite thing, dogs, in one blogging challenge!  Will I find a dog breed for each and every letter of the alphabet?  Come back next month and see.  Or, come back on those difficult letters most of us struggle with.  You know, like Q or X, sometimes Z. 

Here are some familiar breeds I won't be using.

Golden Retriever from Liberia 


German Shepherd from Cuba


Czechoslovakian Poodles 


Hope to see you on April 1 for A is for... guess and come back to see if you're correct!  

In the meantime, head over and see what's it about.  It's easy.  It can be as time consuming as you want, or as simple as looking around you and noticing something starting with A, or B, or Q.  There's plenty of time, and the Theme Reveal post is optional.  However, if you want to post one, you only have until March 15th.  Click on the link at the top.  The actual sign-ups start on March 24.  You might find some blogs to follow for years to come.  I did!

    1. I saw how many dog postage stamps I had and wondered if I could do A to Z. Started trying with countries, then went with breeds.

    1. Thanks. It's a theme much different from my usual. Gardening has been difficult the past few years, heat and wild fire smoke.

    1. Gardening has been harder the past few years. The summers are just too hot, and we've had a lot of wildfire smoke.

    1. You don't see as many poodles as you used to. Dogs used to run loose too. I've only had a dog bite me once, on the nose. A Chihuahua!
