Brag Basket bursting with good news

By Small Biz Survival

Each Friday, I open the brag basket as a fun place to brag or promote yourself and your projects.

Fridays are doubly special, though. We are also celebrating Frozen Pea Friday for Susan Reynolds. I encourage you to join me and donate the cost of a bag of frozen peas (or more) to cancer-fighting research at the Frozen Pea Fund. Then come brag about it!

Regular brags on any topic are still welcome!

Last week, our basket threated to burst, it was so packed with good news! Dayngr bragged on Sim of Utterz for his community work. Neenz from Hawaii dropped in a brag on her new site. John Piercy turned the tables on Dayngr by bragging on her efforts to support the troops. AIDG got in a brag on their development accomplishments and their anniversary. Connie Reece bragged on Mike Chapman and reaching the Top 25 Marketing Blogs. Toby bragged on a client’s successes with blogging, entering their third year. Communicatrix Colleen bragged on completing sample chapters towards being published. She made the connection through her blog! OkieJ Jeanne has been asked to take on a State Chair position with the Oklahoma Business and Professional Women; the Audit chair, no less! Chel Pixie bragged on Chris Penn for his community work. What a week!

    I need to brag about Dan Mosqueda. This week the Twitter community lost one of their own, AshPEAMama, and Dan set-up a fund for her husband and two children. The goal was $5,000 the deadline was the 1/17. The goal was met and exceeded today.
