Amanda at the Daily Planet did a SUPER cute job on this week's carnival.... with the "Building Mr. Perfect" Edition. So cute. You MUST go see what she did and how she put everything together! Here's an excerpt:

While I haven’t made snowmen in a very long time, years in fact, I still enjoy seeing them and today I am going to show us how to build the Perfect snowman for your white yard!
So get your coat, hat, scarf and gloves ready to go as we set out to make Mr. Perfect you have been dying to have in your front yard!

Before we set out, we need to make sure we have all our supplies to build Mr. Perfect.

December 2008

First I wanted to let you know I have nearly all the weeks in December filled for hosts. If you're interested in hosting for any coming weeks I would love to hear from you. Yu can either leave a comment or send me an email.

Also, if you have a Blogger account I'd encourage you to follow the Homesteading Carnival so you can see when it's updated. If you don't have a blogger account sign up for the feedburner on the sidebar. Just enter in your email address and each time the blog is updated you'll get an email.

I was wondering what are some of your favourite blogs to visit that inspire or encourage you in these categories: recipes, gardening, farm animals, homemaking, baking, outdoors, sewing, tutorials, life on the homestead, etc. Oh would you mind inviting them to join the carnival by either emailing or leaving a comment with our link. ;)

Last thing is.... Can anyone believe it's already December 2008? Wow, Only another 31 days and then it will be 2009, a new year, a new chapter. Growing In Grace Magazine just published their 11th issue for the month of December, and you will want to check out some of the great articles…. interview, reviews, giveaways, tutorials, education, and spiritual encouragement!

“We hope you will enjoy the articles, interview, reviews, and recipes in this month’s issue and may your last month in 2008 be a month to grow closer to Christ!”-Sisterlisa, Publisher of GGM

Please stop by and check out the issue. Sisterlisa redesigns the layout each month, and this month she did a fantastic job for our winter theme. You are also able to take either or both of the GGM icon and calendar. Very cute!

Also, I wanted to let you know about the Home-Educator Appreciation event that GGM is hosting, where you can nominate the teacher just by writing why you appreciate them. Then they’re entered in for a chance to win one of three categories. The prizes for these categories worth over $300 and are well-worth it! I know that some of you will want your teacher to win because these aren’t just prizes for parents…… I know some of you ladies will be interested in the Sensibility E-Pattern [of your choice] by Jennie Chancey or maybe one of the blog-designs!

Go look and see, and then nominate your teacher. If you don’t want to enter then just stick the icon on your sidebar! I’ve already put one on here and my personal site!

Blessings!
