When I published my post, Ad space finally available, I was beside myself with how quickly these two gals took advantage of my promotion and made a purchase! I was so excited to have my very first Sponsors! It has been such a huge milestone for this little ol’ blog o’ mine and I have a feeling it will be a tough one to top! Of course, that will not keep me from trying. I see great things in the near future for Cropped Stories so I hope you’ll stay tuned! In the meantime, I’m relishing in my most current accomplishments and am especially excited today for you to meet my featured Sponsors!
Janine is from J9 Designs and when asked for a 5 sentence description of her website, this is what she had to say:
Let’s face it; trying to balance family, kids, business, and maintaining a blog can be tough work. In addition, trying to find time to tweak or debug a blog can quickly escalate from minutes, which we anticipated, to hours. Now you may be asking yourself is there a solution to this recurring theme and the answer my friend is yes there is. Quite frankly, we have been there and have the knowledge and experience to help with most, if not all, of your blog maintenance needs from the smallest issue like fixing a buggy widget to larger issues like blog design, setup, and/or transfers.
A SHORT TERM GOAL:
To be able to help others beautify and maintain their blog.
A LONG TERM GOAL:
To make myself a household name for blog design and maintenance.
SOMETHING JANINE IS ESPECIALLY PROUD OF:
The blogs she has helped recently. Feel free to check out her post: An Update on Recent Blogs I Have Worked On!
Now for the fun stuff!

Nancy is from My Eclectic Loft and when asked for a 5 sentence description of her website, this is what she had to say:
Writing is a great love of mine however vintage is my greatest love. Eclectic describes my blog well as it includes content from vintage treasures, life's moments, handmade items, and blog tips. My blog is a great representation of who I am. I write from my heart, about life experiences, new things I have learned, and what I know.
A SHORT TERM GOAL:
I would love to increase my page views, more submissions to follow my blog via email, and connect with more bloggers.
A LONG TERM GOAL:
In a year I hope to be able to do as Cropped Stories is doing. I would like to offer ad space, acquire Sponsors, and have a larger following. I also want to have a tribe that I belong to. The main goal is to have readers and page views.
SOMETHING NANCY IS ESPECIALLY PROUD OF:
Changing Directions Surviving Trauma
Now for the fun stuff!
