Welcomes, Link Love, and Carnivals Oh My!
- July 27, 2008 by Fox | Comments: 6
This week has gone by and seriously boggled my brain. MSN Smart Spending featured my article 50 Reasons to Go Green with Reusable Shopping Bags as an Editor’s Pick! So my little blog spent a few days linked to the homepage of MSN Money. I’m still boggled by your comments and email. Thank you!
As a result of this mighty link love, I’ve noticed many new Squawkfox Subscribers! Wow! I would like to welcome all new readers to the place where the Fox Squawks about personal finance and frugal living. I am always honored (and honoured for the Canadians) to be added to your RSS Readers and Email. Thank you! Don’t be shy, feel free to jump in and comment at any time!

Nicely done, congrats! Through accidental need, we’ve built up more plastic shopping bags than we know what to do with. We use them for small trash liners, but we still have too many. Fortunately, we were recently given canvas bags, so we’re working on using those instead.
(I actually have lots of bags, but most contain crafting items)
Thanks for the mention Squawk! Look forward to the food p0rn!
Congrats on MSN! I love your blog and I’m glad more people are hearing about it.
Congrats on the MSN link, and thanks for the mention here!
Thanks for the link, Fox!
I also loved your 50 reasons to bring your own shopping bag post. Good stuff!
Thanks for the link! We were linked to from MSN recently and our feedburner readers went down (maybe readers think we’re going too mainstream
).
