The Professional Organizers Blog Carnival in 2019

Just like Santa Claus, I sit down every December to make my list and check it twice. It’s none of my business if you’re naughty or nice though  – my list tells me who’s contributed to the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival during the year and how often. And instead of gifts, I give badges to everyone who reached a new level during the year. But first…

Let’s hear it for the First Timers!

I love to welcome new contributors, and we had quite a number of those this year:

  • Adina Rorouzan
  • Catherine Barnsley
  • Christi Hamby-Sowder
  • Devin Ostertag
  • Diana Duran Wettling
  • Effy Nicopoulos
  • Liana Torosyan
  • Lynda Peterson
  • Melanie Juedes
  • Paula Rizzo
  • Sam Wilson
  • Veronica Bishop

Thanks for joining us!

Let’s hear it for the Sponsors!

Next, I’d like to send a big thank you to everyone who supported the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival with a sponsorship during the past year.

Sponsoring a future Blog Carnival is a great way to promote your business, and I’m happy to schedule a topic that’s a good fit for your product or service.

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don’t have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

    Congratulations to all who have been either contributors, sponsors, readers or supporters! It is wonderful to have this community to share and encourage one another, not to mention all the great content that goes out to readers. Wishing you a wonderful year as you invite us in, Janet!

      It’s been exciting to watch it grow over the years, though I miss the days when I could mention everyone who contributed.

    Hi Janet,
    Thank you for doing this. This has been a really great experience and opportunity for Professional Organizers who are Bloggers. It is so great to learn from each other, inspire each other and offer support. Congrats to Sabrina Quairoli. Also, I am unsure if she will see this but I would love to also have a shout out to Seana Turner who always comments on my posts. Looking forward to what we can all create for 2020.

    • Avatar Janet Barclay on January 7, 2020 at 1:02 pm

      I’ll make sure she sees it – Seana is a great supporter!

    I love having a monthly topic that focus on just one thing. I read several articles of the same topic to get different tips and ideas.

    • Avatar Janet Barclay on January 7, 2020 at 1:05 pm

      I know what you mean! Sometimes after I’ve chosen a topic, I worry that there will be 10 posts all saying the same thing, but although there is occasionally some overlap, there’s more often a wide range of approaches to the topic – it’s wonderful when that happens!
