Welcome to the Ultimate Blog Party 2011!

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

For those of you who have never visited Notes in the Key of Life, THANK YOU and make yourself at home!



I'm Cindy Swanson. I'm a wife to a wonderful guy, mom to three grown kids, and grandmother to two precious little boys. I'm also a radio announcer and a voice-over artist who has a passion for reading and writing.


Me and my sweet hubby

So many things capture my interest, and whether it be matters of faith, current events, family issues, beauty and fashion, books and entertainment, health and fitness, diabetes issues, or a wide variety of other topics, it all seems to find its way to this blog.

(The books and reading stuff actually spills over into a separate blog:)

Cindy's Book Club button

I try to keep "Notes in the Key of Life" entertaining, engaging and positive...and I LOVE feedback! So I hope you'll look around, check out the sidebar, peruse the archives, and check out my "tabs" above, that feature my bio, some family pics, and other stuff.

P.S.--I'd love for you to "like" "Notes in the Key of Life" on Facebook!


...and above all, COME BACK!

Oh, and before you go, do have a cupcake...



And a bouquet, just for you...



Be blessed! :)

Hi Cindy! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I really am glad we chose the name Nolan...it's not common but not crazy out there either. I had all girls names picked out, so of course I would have a boy! :) I'm new to the blogging world so still getting used to it. I sure do hope traveling with a baby gets easier!

Hi Cindy!
Thanks so much for your UBP visit and comment - you're my first guest from the party!
I've just been peeking at your blog and am so tickled you found me - I, too, worked in radio (but many years ago) and now am a book editor in the Christian market and a lifelong reader. Can't wait to see your other blog as well. Take care, girl!
