Of course this means that we will need lots of hosts who would enjoy having the carnival at their blog! If you are interested please drop an email tocarnivalsahm@gmail.com

OK! Now on to the carnival!

Holiday time is fast approaching, and for many families there is concern over how to afford all those gifts. Not to mention extra money to decorate and create a fabulous family meal. This year many people are joining the Buy Handmade Pledge and looking for handmade gifts to give, as well as making some of their own. With the money you can save making your own gifts there should be enough left over for the fun extras.
