The 11th Carnival of Snowflaking was published on Thursday at We Like Money! There were only a handful of snowflaking entries but Tiffanie made the best of it and produced a great carnival!

of course, I am not biased or anything, especially since my entry from I’ve Paid For This Twice Already was the editor’s pick… 

So go check it out!

The next Carnival of Snowflaking will be hosted at We Like Money this week!  The carnival will be published on Thursday, August 14th and submissions must be received by noon on Wednesday.  Enter your snowflaking posts from the past month today and be a part of it!  Let’s have the largest collection of snowflaking posts yet!

The Carnival of Snowflaking #10 is at Moolanomy, and he has selected three great snowflaking editor’s picks:

• The Opposite of Snowflaking? posted at Uncommon Cents — Snowflaking works with both directions. If you practice snowflaking with your income, be sure to look at your expenses to see where the leaks are.
• Melting Snowflakes? posted at Dreaming of Ferraris — Snowflaking takes discipline and if you don’t take care of your snowflakes…they melt.
• Ebates Reward Equals Extra Credit Card Payment posted at The Family CEO — A demonstration of snowflaking in action…every little bits help.

Please go check the entire carnival out!  Thanks Pinyo!!

Carnival #11 will be on August 14th - watch here for the host!  Start thinking about those snowflake submissions now!

Thursday, Moolanomy will host the Carnival of Snowflaking for the month of July.  Please get your entries in by noon today!!  You can enter through this link.

If you have written to join the Revolution over the past few weeks, I haven’t been able to get that caught up yet - I’ve had family visiting nonstop and along with my kids’ summer activities I am hopelessly email behind.  I hope to have everyone joined that applied by the end of today or tomorrow.  Thanks for you patience - and please enter the carnival with your snowflaking news!

Carnival of Snowflaking #9 is up at Paying Off My Future, and has one really fantastic entry.  Sadly, that was the only on-topic entry received this week.  Be sure to visit and read the snowflaking news for this week, it is a big one!

Becuase the entry level has been down as of late, with summer arriving here in the states and people being on vacation, busy, etc, for at least the summer I am going to trim the carnival down to a monthly posting.  The next edition, number 10, will be on July 17th and hosted by Moolanomy.  I’ll post some reminders closer to the date as well, so make sure to get those entries in!

Lynnae at Being Frugal put together a list a while back of 20 excellent ways to find snowflakes.  When reviewing her list recently, one of them really caught my eye as something I hadn’t thought about before.  If you go out to eat and have kids, go on a Kids Eat Free night, and then snowflake the cost of the meals you would have bought to your debt, savings, or other snowflake goal.

Thanks Lynnae for the innovative tip!

There was a slight mixup with Carnival of Snowflaking #7 and it was posted a few days before I thought it was going to be, so between that and my wisdom teeth extraction I missed posting that it was up.  So belatedly, please go check out Carnival of Snowflaking #7 at How I Save Money! Thanks for hosting!

Carnival of Snowflaking #8 went up today at Finance Gets Personal, and her editor’s pick in the “Famous Flakes” edition was Debt Smack’s Lazy Girl’s Guide to Snowflaking.  Check it out as well as the rest of the entries.  Thanks for hosting!

Next week the Carnival travels to Paying Off My Future so get your entries in!  If you’d like to host an upcoming edition, please contact me at join at snowflakerevolution dot com.  We need hosts for many of our future editions! 

The sixth Carnival of Snowflaking is up at Greener Pastures:  Personal Finance!  There was a snowman theme this week and seven great entries to check out!  Be sure to go find your favorite!  Thanks for doing a great job hosting!

Next week the carnival travels to How I Save Money so get your Snowflaking entries in!

Today’s tip can be found many places, but the post I am highlighting is from new Snowflake Revolution member at The Writer Bee, who discusses their struggle to adapt to zero-based budgeting. Budgeting every penny, and then keeping track of all those pennies, is a hard thing to adjust to, and can seem impossible. But it can be done, and with a little work and flexibility, done well, and provide many places to find snowflakes you might not have even known existed!
