I’m working on compiling a new resource page:

Modest Clothing Links

I hope it will be a blessing to you.

Please let me know if you find any broken links, or have any suggestions for stores to add to the list.

It’s that time again!

As For My House will be hosting next week’s edition of the Carnival of Homeschooling.

If you blog, I hope you will join is by submitting a post:

• Old, recent, or written just for this – anything is fair game!
• Your blog does not have to be about homeschooling – only the post you submit has to be “on topic.”

Submitting your post is simple, with the Blog Carnival form.

More details about the carnival, and submissions, are always available from the good folks who run the carnival, “Why Homeschool“.

Just submit your post by Sunday night, then come back on Tuesday to enjoy everyone else’s words of wisdom.

To help spread the word about the carnival, and get more readers for all of our terrific contributors, you are encouraged to include one of the following icons/links in your submitted post:

Although this was closed and decided long ago, I somehow never posted the winner.

The Franklin Springs George Washington Carver DVD was won by comment #4 – Diana D!

And in current business (drumroll, please):

For the lovely toddler dress from the Practical Inspirations Etsy shop, the winner is #15 – Chelsey of Sowing Dandelion Seeds.

All winners are selected by the good ol’ Random.org method, and have 48 hours to respond to my email.

Congratulations!

More giveaways are in the works, so stay tuned…

For our Homestead Blessings – The Art of Crafting DVD, Random.org picked the amazing random number ONE!

First commenter was Lisa –

My favorite crafty thing was scrapbooking a book of memories for Jim’s grandma. She loves pictures, and I had fun creating the pages.

And for our Family Works DVD, the lucky number from Random.org was SEVEN… Which was… Lisa!!

No kidding!

The lucky lady will be receiving BOTH these DVDs in the mail from Franklin Springs very soon.

Congratulations, Lucky Lisa.

I am pleased to announce that As For My House is once again hosting the Carnival of Homeschooling next week.

If you have a blog, you are cordially invited – nay, encouraged – to submit a post:

It’s easy to submit with the Blog Carnival form.

Happy Homeschool Blogging Week!

I just wanted to address a special note to our friends on Facebook…

I really appreciate the “Networked Blogs” feature that allows me to publish all our blog posts to our Facebook news feeds, so you always know when there’s something new to read.

But I wanted to ask you a favor:

When you leave a comment here, it is archived in my database, on my server, logically linked to the post which inspired it.

If you leave a comment on Facebook, it will soon scroll off the bottom of the page and simply be gone forever…

We enjoy hearing what you have to say, and many of your comments contain ideas that we’d like to save.

So, please, leave them here where I can keep them!

Random.org decreed the winners of the Homestead Blessings DVD Giveaway to be…

#9 and #10

I have already talked to both Jerri and Valarie, and their DVDs are probably already on the way from Franklin Springs Family Media!!

And the winners of a Bondi Band of their choice?

#1 – Lisa, and
#6 – Shelly!

These two lucky ladies just need to respond to the email I sent, and they’ll be enjoying their goodies in no time.

Thank you again to our generous giveaway sponsors, as well as to all of you who participated!

Just a reminder to click over and leave a comment to enter to win in each of the two drawings we have going on right now!

You can win one of TWO copies of the new Homestead Blessings: The Art of Quilting DVD (ends tomorrow, 6/26)!

And you can be one of TWO winners of a Bondi Band of your choice (ends 7/3)!

Plus, you earn an extra entry in each drawing, just by entering the other one (make sure to leave a comment to let me know!)… Pretty easy, eh?

I am pleased to announce that As For My House is hosting the Carnival of Homeschooling next week.

We have hosted the Carnival a few times over at Life on the Road. You can swing by there and check out our the last adventure, The RPG Adventure Edition.

I’m writing this post in the hopes that you’ll join the party!

If you have a blog, you’re welcome to submit an article:

• The post can be new or old – anything you’ve written is fair game!
• Your *blog* does not have to be about homeschooling, only the post you submit.

It’s easy to submit with the Blog Carnival form.

You can also find more info at the website that runs the carnival, “Why Homeschool“.

Just be sure to send in your submission by Sunday night, then come back by Tuesday to read all the other wonderful entries.

…And if you know anyone else who blogs homeschool, please spread the word!!

Hope to see you “there”!

Apparently we had a bit of a technical difficulty, and everyone was unable to leave comments – and enter to WIN – on our Kristine’s Shower Review and Give-Away post.

The issue has been corrected, so check it out and enter to win $25 in Kristine’s Shower Cash – get some wonderful bath and body products, for yourself or for a gift! (You must go comment on the original post to enter – not here).

Because of the problem, we have extended the contest deadline to October 10th (it was October 3rd).

Good luck!
