7 Quick Takes Friday
I have a bunch of quick things to share today, so I’m joining Jennifer from Conversion Diary in her 7 Quick Takes Friday. (Jennifer’s blog and story are really inspiring. She’s also a Kidsave host and an excellent writer, working on a book.)
So here are my 7 Quick Takes:
1
First, I want to thank Jackie at Memories by Design for the new look around here. If anyone is looking for a blog design, check out Jackie’s site and peek at her portfolio. She’s awesome! And she also has a great blog.

If you’re a writer, or if you’re interested in learning more about writing and the publishing industry, Literary Agent Rachelle Gardner wrote a couple of great posts recently about good vs. hot projects and why a project might sell even if it’s not hot. Her blog is an excellent source of information. Some other literary agent blogs that are great resources: Chip MacGregor, Nathan Bransford, and Books & Such.

Thank you to everyone who has joined me in Mom-Mondays! I’m not so sure I did the best job explaining things in the beginning, so sorry for the confusion. :) Just to clarify: all you have to do to participate in Mom-Mondays is stop by and comment to share your thoughts. If you want, you can also add your URL so others can find your site. It’s just a simple way for moms to connect with other moms and come alongside each other. There’s no post or link required (though I won’t complain if you help me spread the word). Thank you Stephanie at MetropolitanMama for the mention in Tuesday-Tours, and 5MinutesforMom for the mention in Around the Blogosphere. I really appreciate it!

I’m over at Kellie’s Women’s Life Link today with an article about the benefits of drinking tea if you want to stop by. Kellie writes about a variety of interesting and helpful health and beauty topics like organic skin care, Vitamin D, and the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids. If you have a minute, pop on by!

I told you a while ago about the necklace Kristen made me and how much I love it. Well, she’s having a giveaway at her site that you won’t want to miss. Her jewelry is custom made, beautiful, inspiring, and fun. Need I say more?

If some of you received posts from me in your readers or emails titled “Contact” or “Home” or things like that, I’m sorry. I was creating links for my site and, even though the posts were back-dated, it looks like they went out. And then last night, some random older posts went out too; I have no idea why. Sorry about all that!

Last but not least, a quick note of thanks to those who have sent me emails, Facebook messages, and comments with well wishes for my arm and leg to heal quickly. I recently got good news that I won’t have to have knee surgery, and my arm cast is off as of two days ago. I even get to switch to a smaller brace for my knee next week, so I’m definitely on the mend. Thanks for the concern!
Have a great weekend, everyone. I hope to see you back here for Mom-Monday!
Talk soon,
Genny so glad you are back in the bloggy world and thank you for posting about my giveaway!
I'm so glad you won't need surgery. What a blessing!
I am so glad that your arm and leg are doing so well! That is great Summer news!Glad you are back to blogging!
I'm just stopping by from Conversion Diary, and I really enjoyed your quick takes! While I didn't know what your design looked like before it changed, I do like it now. And I'm trying to decide what to do about my own blog design right now so I'll definitely stop by your designer's page. Thanks!
Thanks so much for all of the links. So glad to hear you don't need the surgery, and that you're doing better.
The layout of your blog is lovely! You have a lot of great links in your quick takes, I enjoyed reading them!
Genny, thanks so much for mentioning me, and for all of these great links! I'm having fun clicking away… :)
Genny,Thanks for the mention in your post. Your article is already getting some attention over here at WLL. I am definitely going to check out the literary agents you listed. I already subscribe to Nathan's blog (he is hilarious). Be well and keep in touch.
yay! you are getting your cast off! i'm sure you are thrilled! i'm so glad you are back to blogging!
Yay! No surgery. Also glad you back at blogging. Always fun to stop by.
You're very welcome, Genny. I'm so happy that you're "back" in the blogosphere. :)
