I sure hear you about struggling to promote yourself… I am in the same boat. So thankful for each and every 'fan' and 'follower'… but find it hard to be a self promoter! 🙂

Your newest 'fan' Jennifer
I will 'like' you when I get back to a computer! My fan page is http://facebook.com/creativekristi. Welcome to the fan page era of facebook!!
I "liked" you, haha. I have one also except it doesn't have very many fans (OK 1 other than me but that is just sad) but I just started sending it out to people. My blog is still new but I figured I wouldn't spam anyone to much that way.
