    I’m not sure what happened to the post I contributed for the carnival, but it’s titled “The Great Container Crisis” and located here: http://momishome2.blogspot.com/2009/09/great-container-crisis.html. I sent it in last week & I thought I followed all the directions carefully.

    Anyway, this looks like a lot of fun & a lot of great posts. I’m going to investigate when I get a few minutes later.
