Great job, Lynnae! So excited to be editor’s pick! :)

P.S. I think you’d love Enchanted. I think it’s kid-safe too…trying to remember. Ah “PG for some scary images and mild innuendo.” The scary images are about up there with Little Mermaid or Snow White, only unanimated. It’s adorable.

Thanks for the mention! I love the theme for the carnival. Reading Ana’s story keeps me motivated to pay down the car loan.

Fantastic carnival! I love the theme too! :) I do the same thing with my kids for birthday parties; I enjoy brainstorming on the next theme with them.
