You are certainly on the ball with your monthly calendars, Miriam! I'd hardly announced the next carnival when you put the word out on your own blog.
Thanks for the publicity! I hope to have a "slew" of posts "galore" for the next Carnival of Irish Heritage & Culture (to use some words we took from the Irish language).

Thanks Miriam! I think I have all of these entered now on the Genea-Blogger calendar:

Miriam:
Thank you so much for posting a link to the 1st Smile For The Camera - A Carnival of Images.
You are keeping us all well informed and on our toes.

Lisa, my secret is that I start my post early the previous month and add all the carnival and other information as the weeks go by. Late last night I realized I only needed two carnival dates, Jessica's and yours. All I had to do was input them and presto! I posted them using Blogger in Draft's scheduled posts feature.
Thomas, I so appreciate your Google calender and have added it to my own personal one. Starting next month, I'll add your Backup Your Data reminders to my Calendar of Events.
Maven, I'm excited to see this new carnival and am trying to come up with a photo to post.
Thanks, all for your kind words!
