Seeds Family Worship Giveaway

I am so very excited to be able to share this giveaway with you all!!!! Last week a package of 5 cds arrived in my mailbox from Seeds Family Worship and we have been listening to them ever since.

Can I just say I love them????

Haven’t heard of them? You can read much more about them in my full review, but let me give you a quick overview so that you know all about the fun worship cds that FIVE of you have a chance to win.

IMG_4006

It all started when a worship pastor was asked to write songs to help kids remember Bible verses during VBS…now 5 cds later, those seeds are being planted into kids hearts and being memorized. In all there are over 58 portions of Scripture set to contemporary music for you and your kids to enjoy and learn ~ and they are definitely adult friendly {trust me!!}.

There are five different cds in the series, each focusing on Scripture verses of a different theme:
~ Vol 1. Seeds of Courage
~ Vol. 2 Seeds of Faith
~ Vol. 3 Seeds of Praise
~ Vol 4 Seeds of Purpose
~ Vol 5 The Power of Encouragement
The coolest feature {well, aside from the amazing music}, when you purchase a cd from Seeds, each package actually comes with TWO cds ~ one for you and one to share with a friend. You simply tear the packaging along the perforation and share.

Which is exactly what I’m going to do with five of you!!

Ready to Win?

You can earn multiple entries in this giveaway, but you need to enter a separate comment for each entry. You can earn a total of ten entries. I have five cds to give away ~ one cd for five different winners!

1. Leave a comment telling me which cd of the five you would most like to win.
2. Leave me a comment mentioning one of Seeds Recommended Family Resources {they have a great list!}.
3. Can’t wait to see if you are a winner? If you buy a cd {or two} during this giveaway, you can earn an extra FIVE entries and I will let you choose one that you didn’t purchase. Be sure to leave a comment for each entry! Use the coupon code HOMESCHOOLCREATIONS for 20% off your order.
4. Check out the Seeds Family Worship YouTube page ~ what is the verse for the main video that pops up?
5. Leave a comment telling me one of the two kid’s resources that Seeds Family Worship offers for all of their cds.
6. If you follow my blog, give yourself an extra entry. :)

That’s it! This giveaway will be open until Saturday, April 24th until 8pm and I will announce the winner by Monday, April 26th. Please be sure there is a way for me to contact you ~ otherwise I will draw another winner. Note: US Residents only, please!

Curriculum Clean Out starts next Sunday!

curric clean outIf you would like to participate in the Curriculum Clean-Out! here are a few guidelines to go by. I'll try to explain everything as best as I can, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask! No questions? Then start going through your stuff!!

What exactly IS the Curriculum Clean-Out?

Essentially, it's a blog carnival. Homeschool Creations will be the host site for all the permalinks to the various curriculum giveaways. I have quite a few extra books and homeschool things on my shelves that we won't be using, and it's a shame to have them sit and collect dust. I'm cleaning off my shelves in order to pass along some great products to other families. Other families will be cleaning off their shelves and holding giveaways on their blogs and linking back here.

What can I use as a giveaway?

Any curriculum or item for homeschooling that is in usable shape {i.e. not a workbook that only has one page empty or textbooks that are highlighted 'til the pages are see-through}. While these are freebies, we don't want to give away something that really should be thrown away.

Is there anything that is not okay to giveaway?

This isn't for coupons and entrants should not be expected to pay anything for the giveaway prize.

Do I have to giveaway something in order to enter other's giveaways?

No. Feel free to browse the links and enter as many giveaways as you would like! Anyone can play along.

Do I need to have a blog in order to enter the giveaways?

No. If you do not have a blog, please be sure to leave a way to contact you. Example: janedoe at hotmail dot com would be extremely helpful to help find you and you do not need to enter your full email address.

Who is responsible for shipping?

The person hosting the giveaway will cover the shipping costs. If you are hosting a giveaway, be sure to specify where you are willing to ship your 'prize'. Continental US only? Canada?

How will readers enter?

After linking up your blog post to the MckLinky here, your readers will enter the contest by leaving a comment ON YOUR BLOG POST.

Can I link my giveaway at any time?

Absolutely. You don't have to have your giveaway post ready the first day. Since the Curriculum Clean-Out Carnival will be going on for almost 2 weeks, you can join at any time.

Should I post pictures of my giveaway item?

If you can ~ great! If you can't, you can also link to a similar item on Amazon. If it helps your readers visualize it, that will help you out even more!

What if I want to giveaway more than one item? Do I need to have two posts?

Woohoo! If you want to create two posts, feel free to link them both up. It's up to you how you would like to run your giveaway.

When will the Curriculum Clean-Out go 'live'?

I will have the post up and live on Sunday, April 11th at 5:00am EST. The linkies will stay active until Saturday, August 24th at 5pm EST.

 Who will pick the winners?

You are responsible for choosing your winners {random.org is a great help for picking numbers} and you are responsible for notifying the winner of your giveaway. Please don't ask the entrants to check back to see if they have won. And entrants, please be sure to leave adequate contact information!

 How in the world do I use MckLinky?

If you need to know how to find and use a permalink, click here. Please use your permalink and NOT the main page of your blog as your URL. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask {I'd be happy to help you out!}. I will be going through the links periodically to check and will let you know if your link needs to be changed.

What is the best way to link my giveaway?

There are several different ways you can enter your link. It would be helpful for readers to know what you are giving away to. For example:

Jolanthe {A Beka K Phonics Guide} or

A Beka K Phonics Guide {US shipping}

Is it okay for me to create my own MckLinky on my blog for the Curriculum Clean-Out?

Please link your posts to the Curriculum Clean-Out! here at Homeschool Creations. That way we have a central spot for everyone to check for the giveaways.

Are there any other requirements?

Yes. Please be sure to use the button {html link is below} or link back to the giveaway post here at Homeschool Creations. If you are not sure how to do it, here are some directions on how to create a permalink. Linking back to my site will also help other readers find other giveaways to enter. Here is the html for a 150 x 150 button {pictured above}:

Curriculum Clean-Out!



From
August 2nd
- August 15th I'm hosting a curriculum 'giveaway' of sorts here. Everyone loves to win things and giveaways are fun ~ so lets do it all together!

Why? My shelves are overflowing! I have unused books and curriculum that are just lonely sitting on my shelves. They need a home that will appreciate them - and yours might just be the place for them. I'm talking about those great books that have so much life in them they are almost brand spankin' new.

You can join in! If you have some books or materials that you would like to give away, you can be a part of this! You can give away something on your blog and/or you can visit others giveaways and enter to win some great stuff!

Sound like fun? Start scouring your shelves, closets, and check under the couch for books and products you can use as giveaways. Check back soon, because I'll be posting the specifics in the next few days to answer all those questions swirling around in your head right now!

Feel free to grab the html for the button up above and start spreading the news to your friends! Here's the code:
