Kelli,
Katie
I might begin hosting a weekly carnival in a few months, but you may also want to keep an eye out for one I’ll co-host with many other bloggers called Spring Cleaning: Get the Junk Out. It will rotate from week to week but have the home base right here. You can find carnivals I like to enter by clicking on almost any recipe I publish (and most other posts) and checking out the bottom where I link back to the host. I haven’t done much in late December with carnivals, but check the archives. Sorry to disappoint you!
