2015 Wrap-Up

I'm ready to wrap-up 2015! Who's with me? I've already done the final individual posts for each of my challenges, so I'll add a link here to click-through for titles and more information. I feel pretty good about my challenges for 2015, although I did choose easier, more general challenges for the year. So maybe for 2016 I need to challenge myself more!
