First Birthday Give Away

It's my blog's FIRST birthday  and I am inviting YOU to come and help me celebrate.

In response to my HSMJ two weeks ago, some wonderful ladies in bloggy land have generously donated products for a Birthday Giveaway. These are all digital (Just Plain Nora is avalable in paperback or ebook your choice) and you can enter from anywhere in the world!

There are a few options of how to enter via the Raffelocopter at the bottom of this post and a few prizes up for grabs. Please make sure to read the Terms and conditions before entering.



Some ways to enter are:
  • Leave a comment on THIS post, 
  • Follow Every Bed of Roses,  
  • Like Every Bed of Roses on Facebook or 
  • blog about this giveaway and invite those visiting your blog to pop on over it's up to you !

 Gifts in the raffle:

Thank you to Jenn from Little Homeschool on the Prairie who has donated your choice of a Kindle edition of Just Plain Nora or a signed paperback by the author.

Eastern Colorado, 1881: Nora Smith is growing up as a middle child in a frontier family. She struggles with feeling insignificant and just plain ordinary . If only she can win the Mountain Springs spelling bee, her problems will disappear! Nora prepares for her moment to shine as champion of the bee. However, other circumstances prevail, proving to Nora the importance of just being herself. Just Plain Nora is recommended for children, age eight to twelve.

Interrested in a sneak peak of the story? Pop on over to Amazon.

Deborah has recently rejoined the blogging community over at The Paper Maid and has some great free notebook pages as well as some for purchase over at TpT.  She has donated one product of your choice from her Teahers pay Teachers store.



Jimmie from Jimmie's Collage and The Notebooking Fairy has donated a TWO sets of her eBooks books for two participants to win.

Have you wanted to implement Notebooking into your home school ?  Jimmie has created an excellent eBook that will help you not only implement notebooking but answer these questions:
Am I using notebooking to its fullest potential ?
How do I know if my children are really learning ?
How do I use notebooking to help my children learn and to remember what they learn ?
What should I expect from different ages ?

This book is not a workbook or a set of lesson plans nor is it a curriculum.  It is a how to manual that teaches the teacher the ins and outs of notebooking.
Notebooking Success is available to purchase for the Summer Special of $5.50 over at The Notebooking Fairy.  **

Jimmie recently took part in a 10 Days of Language Arts blog hop from which Designing Your Language Arts Curriculum was birthed.

The guidelines and advice in Designing Your Language Arts Curriculum will help you navigate the complicated waters of teaching such a broad field as language arts.
What is essential?
What is optional?
What are some effective methods for teaching?
The ten topics covered are: grammar, spelling, vocabulary, poetry, reading, literature, building a library, writing, Shakespeare, and public speaking.

The eBook is in PDF format and can be purchased at Jimmies Collage for $3-00.**

 **If you purchase these books from Jimmie and win the give away, Jimmie will fully refund your purchase price.

I look forward to meeting new friends and chatting to the ones who are here all ready !

Blessings
Chareen
