I’ve been writing weekly posts at Five Cent Nickel for the past couple of months. So far, I’m really enjoying it as it’s given me an opportunity to write for another audience, learn from Nickel and Matt’s writing styl e,and introduced me to some wonderful people.

My main focus is still Green Panda Treehouse and I’m hoping that you’ve noticed an improvement on my posts here due to my other writing projects.

Tomorrow, I’ll be having a giveaway for a free iPhone/ iPod Touch app called WalletWhiz. It’s a budgetting calender app that I think some of my readers could really use. Please check it out and spread the word. 

Personal Finance Carnivals

• Living Almost Large hosted the Carnival of Personal Finance this week. 
• The Carnival of Debt Reduction was present by ABCs of Investing.
• The Carnival of Money Hacks was held at Own at the Dollar. 
• Stupid Cents hosted the Festival of Frugality.

For those of you who already have and for those who would like to support my writing efforts at Five Cent Nickel, I want to say thank you. 

I want to grow Green Panda Treehouse into a better site and have a bigger audience. I truly feel that writing at Five Cent Nickel on a weekly basis is a step in that direction.
