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!

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!

The 5th Carnival of Snowflaking is up at My Small Cents and it has an international snowflake theme.  Give it a look!  The two editor’s picks were:

From this very site,  Impulse Snowflakes Make Financial Flurries. Thanks Kelly for the editor’s nod!

How I Save Money discusses saving money in an emergency fund.

Thanks Kelly for hosting and be sure to visit the carnival!  It is growing.  :)  Next week the carnival travels to Greener Pastures so get your entries in!

The Carnival of Snowflaking is up at Dreaming of Ferraris! Foxie did a great job of interspersing facts about actual snowflakes (the cold frozen kind) in her carnival. her two editor’s picks were posts I’d highlighted here before:

• Brip Blap: Wealthstreaming, Or Snowflaking For Income
• Five Cent Nickel:  Reducing Your Debt With Micropayments

Stay tuned for next week as the carnival travels to My Small Cents!  Get those entries in and thanks for a great carnival Foxie!

Carnival of Snowflaking #3 was at Antishay Ventenne this week and included some great snowflaking stories and strategies!  The three editors picks were:

• Finance Gets Personal: My Co-Worker Debbie’s Old-School “Keep the Change” Program
• My Daily Dollars: Spending My Way to a Snowflake
• Pennywise and Pound Foolish:  Sell the truck, retire early
  

Thanks for hosting Shanti!  The carnival travels to Foxie’s Ferarri Dream next week so get your entries in!

The Carnival of Snowflaking is continuing as scheduled this Thursday, making its way to Antishay Ventenne.  However, Blog Carnival, the service that collects the entries, has been having continuing issues for the past week.  If Blog Carnival is down when you try to submit your entry, entries can be directly submitted to the carnival by emailing them to snowflakerevolution at gmail dot com.

However!  To make things as simple as possible for the host, please include the following information with your entry:

• Title of Blog
• Your screen name
• Your email address
• Link to entry
• Title of entry
• Any comments to the host about your entry

If you do not include this information and simply send a link, it may be ignored.

Thank you for your continued support and interest in snowflaking and get those carnival entries in by Wednesday morning!

The second edition of the Carnival of Snowflaking is up at My Daily Dollars!  With only 5 entries explicitly tied to snowflaking, the carnival is short but sweet and definitely worth a read!  To encourage visits to the carnival, I’ll refrain from repeating the entries here, but mention that Snowflake Revolution’s entry about Income Generation Snowflakes was included.  Thanks!

Next week the carnival travels to Antishay Ventenne - get those snowflake entries in!

Welcome to the very first Carnival of Snowflakes! I am paidtwice, and I founded the Snowflake Revolution to help promote the concept of snowflaking and provide a way for people to encourage each other to make positive financial choices and reinforce each other. I am delighted to continue fostering that attitude with the very first Carnival of Snowflaking - a place for people to share their snowflaking successes, challenges, and attitudes.

First up, my Editors Picks. It was a tough call, but I’ve chosen 3 of the entries as great examples of the spirit of snowflaking:

• My Small Cents talks about her journey to becoming a snowflaker with Learning To Snowflake.
• My Daily Dollars shows us that its all in how you look at things with Snowflake State of Mind.
• Antishay Ventenne outlines how you too can build side income and use it to snowflake with An Honest Guide to Building Up Snowflakes [side income].  She also has this post available as a podcast.
  

Now, here are some excellent snowflake successes!

• Nine Circles finds snowflakes in her jewelry box with Snowflakes of Gold.
• All Things Frugal takes the first step to become a snowflaker with Snowflake Revolution.
• How I Save Money outlines her snowflake status and how far she’s come with State of the Credit Cards.
• Sometimes just getting things together enough to list things on an auction site to sell is a success in itself. Sick of Being Poor gets ready for the snowflakes to roll in with Craigslist Experience-Earning Extra Snowflakes.

Snowflaking can also come with its share of Challenges:

• Sometimes it is hard to see the forest for the trees. Tales From The Road Less Traveled works on the snowflaking mentality with Snowflaking, sort of.

Snowflaking is more than a concept, it is an Attitude:

• Remodeling This Life shows that snowflaking is about more than just money with Snowflake Your Way to a Better Self.
• Finance Gets Personal reminds us that often, we snowflaked ourselves into debt with My Credit Card Debt: An Example of Reverse Snowflaking.

Finally, there are many Methods to applying snowflaking:

• Debt Non Sequitur gives ways and places to find those snowflakes with How To Find Snowflakes.
• Dreaming of Ferraris shows that you can concentrate on multiple goals simultaneously with Snowflaking to Multiple Goals.
• My Retirement Blog wants you to remember that retirement is important too with Snowflake Your Way To Retirement
• Greener Pastures Personal Finance explains where their money goes and what to do about it with Cha-Ching Spending.
• Rocket Finance shows how he finds snowflakes with bank bonuses with $250 worth of snowflake money with Chase Freedom.

And I couldn’t resist an entry from my finance site, since I love snowflaking so much:

• I’ve Paid For This Twice Already provides 10 Can’t Miss Ways To Kickstart Snowflaking - try one!

Thanks for participating in and reading the first Carnival of Snowflaking! Next week it travels to My Daily Dollars, see you there!

This Thursday will be the very first Carnival of Snowflakes.  If you have a recent post about snowflaking methods, successes, challenges, or anything else specifically snowflaking related, make sure to submit it by Wednesday at noon!  I’m really excited and we already have several hosts lined up for the next several weeks!  I will be updating the schedule today. 

Don’t delay, submit today!
