For the ‘Red’ theme my daughter has been making lovely ‘swing folk’ and one of her characters is like a squishy, red tomato. All that’s needed is a pen, card, scissors and pins. Check out her creations on this post – http://www.chezlee.co.nz/2010/04/swinging-clip-folk-and-clocks/

Oooooh, thank you so much for these tips!! I am a carnival host newbie and this will INDEED help me lots! Will get onto a logo and post it asap. As part of this need to still work out how to actually post buttons myself – everytime I try it doesn’t seem to work! Mmmh. Thank you Zoe!

Oh goodness me – to be suggested twice… my cheeks are red, but my eyes are smiling!

I’ve been writing a post (to go live next week) about various carnivals book and craft related around the web and I’ll include this one. There are a few things I’ve learned as I’ve drawn up the list – (1) It’s great if you have a little logo for your carnival – people like being able to put the logo/button on their blog, and it all helps to raise awareness of the carnival, so perhaps you could come up with a little image to go with this carnvial? (2) It’s really helpful for people who are new to the carnival if you have a sticky post with the “rules” of the carnival – otherwise people have to guess when / where/ what by looking through back posts from the carnival and that can be time consuming. You could then put a link to the carnival info page / FAQ in you sidebare or in a tab – it will just make it easy for people to participate. (3) Do you know about Blog Carnival http://blogcarnival.com/bc/index.php – it can make it easier for you to compile the carnival as a lot of the formatting is done for you automatically.

Hope these tips help – I think this carnival is lovely and certainly intend to participate next time round!
