Last night I was checking my emails and was somewhat dumbfounded when I saw about 30 that were for the December 2011 Carnival of Pen, Pencil and Paper that I hosted on December 6. Back at the time I was wondering why no one had submitted anything, but decided that with the Holidays at hand people were too busy. Then when the Carnival came out, several people emailed and asked if I could include posts they had already submitted but which hadn't gotten to me. Now I know why--and in addition to the original emails I also received duplicates, which explains why my inbox was so full.
Here is the December 2011 Carnival part deux, with some great new posts. Keeping in mind that all giveaways have concluded, so entering, like resistance to the Borg, is futile.

Thanks for including me! weirdly, I've had a few emails overnight from carnivals I'd submitted to months ago. I think the carnival website might have got confused for a while!
ReplyDeleteWell it's nice to know that I am not the only one. I received the confirmation for my entry to that carnival last night.
