You deserve a Brag Basket mention

By Small Biz Survival

You deserve a Brag Basket mention, and all you have to do is add yourself or another deserving soul in the comments. Share your projects and accomplishments. You can also cheer for other people, give shout outs, congratulate, and even give someone a well-deserved pat on the back.

Every week, y’all share great stories in the Brag Basket. Reading them is the highlight of my blogging week. I hope you enjoy reading about each other, as well.

The Brag Basket is open all weekend. (October 2-4, 2009 – I’m putting dates because sometimes a person will comment on an old basket by mistake.) Drop by any time and leave your good news in the comments.

Will you put something in the Brag Basket this week? You can brag on a friend, your own project, yourself, others, anything! Make it personal, and not just an ad. You don’t need special permission, and you don’t have to be from a small town. Just leave a comment right here. There’s no deadline, so you can brag anytime during the weekend, and I’ll open a fresh Brag Basket each Friday.

    I finally got to drive my dream car:

    The only problem with the pic is that I look a little middle-age-crazy. Sigh. I guess that goes with the territory.

    Gotta brag on my company, http://www.zvrs.com is leading the way with innovative videophone solutions for deaf and hard of hearing customers. I used to hate the phone, now I’m on it all day long. :)
