OCD is not an adjective. It is not a personality quirk. It is not synonymous with being organized. It is a complex and debilitating mental health illness that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and is defined by the presence of unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive actions.

For me it's the creativity of all the different challenges! There's always something for everyone!
I also love the games that send the Cherries into the shop to look for products, because I ALWAYS find lots of things I never would have seen otherwise!

I love playing the games and chatting on NSD then spending so much time working on the challenges! Oh and the No Calorie weekend!!! I am already planning my snacks!

Where to start! I always love the challenges and there are different ones during NSD which makes it exciting and we have longer to complete them. But as far as the weekend I love the interactive real time games and the nonstop posts and trying to keep up which is almost impossible but still fun to try. It's fun looking at all the gifts that are given away, cherry points coming in are a big fun bonus. It's just so fun for us all to be online at the same time chatting and anticipating what is coming next. Only us crafters can understand the excitement!

The challenges are so varied and inspirational that I'm happy we have extended time to complete some of them. The games and fun chats on the message board are always a favorite. I join the ACOT online crop all weekend - clear my schedule - oops! I'm retired now so no schedule to clear. LOL!

I love everything about NSD! The games, challenges and spending time on the board where so many Cherries are around! I'm sad that I won't have all day Saturday and Sunday without time away. But, I will be here on Friday and as much as I can the other days.

I agree with all of the above!!! Especially Karyn Sue’s comment about it being like picking your favorite child!
I always enjoy looking at the prizes and trying to figure out which ones I REALLY want so I can do those challenges first!

I don't think you can sum it up in just one thing! It is a crazy, fast paced, chaotic weekend filled with laughter, cherry friends, amazing talent, and most of all time spent with cherries who have the same passion as I do. Love the challenges, the extra time to get them done, seriously, what's not to love, lol.

ALL of it!! It is seriously my favorite weekend of the year. I love the games and challenges. I really love learning more about each of the hosts. I always get so many pages completed during this time.

You know my answer.... CHALLENGES AND PRIZES. Nothing gets me going like a good challenge.

I enjoy the challenges (and prizes!) Hoping there will be a unique ACOT cutfile for the event!

My favorite part is the hustle of the board. Love all the games, challenges, and connecting with others

I love the whole weekend! The board is filled with the best challenges, fun filled games, lots of chatter and the amazing prizes.
Hopefully I finish the mess I have made by organizing pics so that I can I’m ready!

How to pick... I love all the Cherries on at the same time, the chats. The challenges that push me out of my comfort zone are a big favorite too and all the unique challenges and fun games. Oh, that's more than one favorite isn't it?

The scavenger photo hunt. I love driving all around town looking for the items. So much fun.

I am always amazed at the fabulous list of prizes! ACOT is so very generous and the challenges provide so many opportunities to win.
The variety of challenges is always interesting. Posted entries also get tons of great comments in the gallery. Share the love! I love the surprise of a hostess sprinkle, too.
