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, but have something you would like to give away, we will have a way for you to participate using my Blog Frog community forum! You will be able to create a conversation in the forums and link it up to the giveaway post!
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. 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.
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 Linky 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.
Feel free to grab the html for the 125 x 125 button below and start spreading the news to your friends!

Is it okay to give away parts of a curriculum? So, let’s say I have a workbook that is in good shape, but not the other workbooks or teacher’s manual – does that work?
Absolutely!! Whatever you would like to share. :)
I would love some phonics stuff, this will be my first year, officially, starting kindergarten. I’ll have to remember to pay attention!
Hi Jolanthe, How about Science Magazines and The Mailbox Magazines?
Absolutely! If they will help another mom out. :)
that would be awesome i would like to have some of the maibox magazines!
I am so excited about this giveaway this is so awesome!
Can we give away digital resource books (legally purchased PDF versions) that we’re no longer using?
Check the copyright restrictions, but typically those are notmallowed to be shared.
Does the giveaway have to end on August 4th?
no, it doesn’t. :) when you link up you can add the end date in your text. The linky in this post will close on August 4th though, so just link up before then.
