For a long time after I anounced Let's Go Nuts: Peanuts, there were no entries. By the time it was the 20th, I thought I was going to get, well for want of a better analogy, peanuts. Or no peanuts. Believe me, I was considering digging a hole somewhere and burying myself in it!

But then, slowly, the entries started trickling in. And by the end of the month, I had 17 bloggers send me 30 entries!!

I really didn't expect it and thank you all for your whole hearted participation. I will be doing the round-up in 2 parts. Without further ado, here's Part I of the round up.
