Fall, Y’All! Giveaway!

by Summer Minor

Contest is Closed!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI am pretty excited to be taking part in Shannon’s Fall, Y’all! giveaway. Her summer givaway was huge, and I think I ran myself ragged entering as many giveaways as I could. There were just so many great things up for grabs. Sow ehn she announced the fall one I knew I had to join. I think I went through a few hundred ideas of what to give away to one lucky person before I had the perfect one. Pulled straight from my personal collection I am giving away 3 great homeschooling books. These are perfect for a beginner homeschooler, or just someone thinking about it.

homeschool books

The titles are: Home Learning Year by Year: How to Design a Homeschool Curriculum from Preschool Through High School by Rebecca Rupp, The Homeschooling Handbook by Mary Griffith, and Homeschool Your Child for Free: More Than 1,200 Smart, Effective, and Practical Resources for Home Education on the Internet and Beyond by LauraMaery Gold. These are great resources for any homeschooler to have on hand. And I’m giving them away to one lucky person!

All you have to do is leave me a comment right here telling me that you want these books. You have from now until November 1 to get your comment in. Then on November 2nd I will choose one random comment to win.

And while you’re here check out my other giveaway at Creative Mom Cafe. I have some great crafty books up for grabs.
