Smart Canucks + Smart JoeGirl Readers!

Yay! Last evening, I received an email from the folks at SmartCanucks.ca, letting me know JoeGirl had been chosen as their first Canadian Blog Feature! My gut did a few somersaults, then wretched in horror, as I realized my current JoeGirl post was less than typical and, in fact was… pathetic.

I hopped over to SmartCanucks.ca to see what had been written about JoeGirl, and was actually quite relieved. Boo was clever enough to work my dry spell into their editorial, and asked readers to visit JoeGirl to make recommendations!

Before I bow down to those of you who did, I want to tell you quickly about SmarkCanucks.ca—and don’t stop reading just because you are South of the border, or elsewhere in the world. Not only does SmartCanucks track Canadian sale flyers, freebies, contests, promotions, coupons, rebates and other special deals—oh no! They also offer money-saving tips and tricks, regardless of your currency and location. And who doesn’t want to save a few bucks here and there? I just can’t imagine how they keep on top it it all! Kudos to SmartCanucks.ca!

So, to those of you who so generously offered me your support and encouragement, suggestions and advice yesterday… I thank you. I really needed some motivation, and you delivered in spades. The best blog audience ever, of this I am certain.

Melanie: Your blog never seems to be scarce on content. I often read yours in an attempt to stir something up for my own! I love your magazine idea. I’ll consider setting up some ‘departments’ to streamline my subject matter, and play within those guidelines. Awesome feedback!

Nancy: Wow! My first SmartCanucks referral! Thanks for visiting JoeGirl. I hope you return often! I like your ideas. I do try to touch on my graphic design work a bit, mostly in terms of downloads to help readers become better organized (hit Freebies in the “JoeGirl Talks About…” cloud, to the left)…, but for a closer look at my graphic design portfolio, you can always check out my corporate website at indetail.ca

Katie: Thanks for the encouragement. I have always preferred quality over quantity in most other aspects of my life, so you’re right. I shouldn’t be so hard on myself! Hope to see you at JoeGirl again soon!

Anonymous: Yes! Thanks for the brutal honesty—I asked for it!

les_mason_curt: Sweet Leslee, you’re just saying that because you won my first-ever giveaway and are looking for more cards ;) Kidding. You are adorable, and adored. Thanks for your feedback ;)
