But before reading today's guest post about Chicago below I had a few other things to mention:
May's Write-Away Contest
If you missed the announcement on Saturday, I finally got the topic up for this month's writing contest. The topic is spring and our guest judge is the wonderful Teresa Hirst posting as TJ Hirst at TJHirst.com. I've admired her writing from afar (as she lives in Minnesota) and thought her recent post "Will Fear or Faith Wash over Our Children" to be very appropriate and well written.
Don't miss the chance to get in on the fun and prizes (yes prizes, plural) with your entry! The deadline is the 20th!
The Scribbit NewsletterThe newsletter is in its third issue this month and should hit 1000 subscribers sometime this week--thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send me kind words about it and if you have things you'd like to see included in it shoot me a note and let's talk!
Bliss Living, who offered a wonderful giveaway here at Scribbit a little over a week ago, has offered another giveaway for newsletter subscribers and those who are on the mailing list are automatically entered to win a beautiful silver engraved double pendant valued at $95 in time for Mother's Day. They have popular and beautiful mother's jewelry and this is your chance to have one for yourself. The winner will be drawn on May 7th which will give you time to get your name in the hat if you haven't already.

And I wanted to extend more thank yous to those who have been mentioning my ebook on their sites.

I sure appreciate all the sweet emails and messages I've got over last week with your thanks and compliments.

That is a beautiful necklace! Thanks for the link. I'm learning so much for you. Your comment on my blog makes me feel like I've been visited by a famous person. I've heard it said that "Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul." Thanks for that!
We're just as giddy here about spring finally starting for us. We had a couple of blizzards last month, but the snow quickly melted away.
And thanks so much for the Linky Love! Blogging in Pink has been such a help to me. I'm still trying to figure out some things, but probably will have to wait until the school year's over to implement any big changes. Headed over to check out your Write Away Contest. Thanks for the opportunity!
Yay for good weather! And congrats on almost 1000 subscribers. :)
Interesting.....so if you won yourself [just imagine] which of your children's names would you pick?
Cheers
I'm really enjoying your newsletter. Thank you for taking the time to put it out for us.
Beverlydru--I appreciate that :) I feel sheepish though because I've been so bad about getting around to visit my blogging friends. The spring hit about a month ago and I've hardly been at the keyboard since.
Maddy--my two favorites of course :)
We've had good weather too...it's amazing I feel like everyday is a complete gift..unfortunately I am not getting anything done inside..but hey I can't pass it up.

Congrats on your newsletter!!! How very impressive. :-)
How beautiful!
I've tried to subscribe to your newsletter a few times now and have not received anything yet. Maybe I'm getting blocked for some reason. Any ideas? My email is bckjoy at cfl.rr.com.
Came over here from Heavenly Homemakers to read your e-book on Blogging - fabulous read, thanks so much for taking the time to put this information into an ebook.
I just wanted to tell you I made the pistachio cake from the newsletter. Everyone LOVED it!!! Green cake! More green cake Mommy!!!
