I’ve been remiss in not calling attention earlier in the week to two Carnivals I really enjoyed!  The 66th Edition of the Carnival of Genealogy is posted here at Creative Gene.  It’s the second annual IGene Awards where genea-bloggers showcase their best work of the prior year.    You’ll find some great stuff  there!

And footnoteMaven hosted the 10th Edition of Smile for the Camera–A Carnival of Images at Shades of  the Departed.  The topic is “Costume. “  As The Collector herself says:

It was the most wonderful fashion show I’ve ever attended. From the everyday costume to the oh so special occasion, they all attended the Carnival. You really have outdone yourselves. So sit back and enjoy, open the cover and browse the 10th Edition of Smile For The Camera’s album of costume! You’re going to love this one!It was the most wonderful fashion show I’ve ever attended.

The word prompt for the 11th Edition of Smile For The Camera is Brothers & Sisters. Were they battling brothers, shy little sisters, or was it brother & sister against the world? Our ancestors often had only their siblings for company. Were they best friends or not? Show us that picture that you found with your family photographs or in your collection that shows your rendition of brothers & sisters. Bring them to the carnival and share. Admission is free with every photograph!
