Penny Carnival has had some big moments during its brief little life. The first time someone left a comment. The first time someone left a comment who hasn't known me since kindergarten. The day I switched the color scheme from abracadabra orange to a much softer palette. Good times, good times.
And then, there's the e-mail I just received from the Typepad folks saying they're going to feature my blog on their main page next week.
If Bo had any idea what a blog was, this is what she'd say: If you're happy and you know it, shout hooray. Hooray!
After getting the e-mail, I checked out what their featured blogs were this week. None other than Martha Stewart. And an amazing food photographer/graphic designer. Eek. I feel so itsy bitsy. Like the spider trying to climb its way up a water spout.
Anyhow, Typepad is supposed to put Penny Carnival up on June 18. It could mean more folks checking out the site (yea!), but I don't know if that's 5 folks or 500. Closer to 5, I'm sure, but even that would be fantastico.
Thanks for reading, friends.
You are on your way! Your blog really is amazing and I'm so happy more people will have the opportunity to see it.

How great! You were featured, too? I'm really happy with how many people have stopped by in the last couple of days.
I haven't received the shirt yet. I told them to send me an XL so I could sew it into a tote bag. See this post for a tutorial: http://pennycarnival.typepad.com/penny_carnival/2008/04/inch-by-inch.html
Thanks again for commenting, Sharla. I'm on my way to check out your blog now.
