Giveaways this Week

Thanks for hanging in there ladies. Crazy week here in the Midwest as most of you that live in this part of the country know. We have been in the middle of a crazy bad ice storm that has knocked out power for several of our swappers and left several of us rather cold. I got lucky and only got the ice and no power loss like we did last year and the year before.
...
On to the events of this week.
Here are some catch up mini swap winners..

The winner of the Mother Daughter Apron Pattern is....
Solidia H

Craft Apron Giveaway

One lucky winner will receive an Apron from Vicky's My Mom Would Be Proud Etsy Shop.

Maybe you'll choose this cutie!!



Here is a bio that Vicky sent us.

My name is Vicky. Growing up in the fifties, I watched my mom take in sewing and ironing to help feed us 6 kids. She didn't have time to teach us to sew and I had already decided that sewing was something I never wanted to do. She passed away in 1981. In 1985 I had this incredible urge to learn how to quilt and make doll clothes. Quilting and sewing has become my passion. My mom passed away never knowing that I had inherited her talent. My sister has said that mom would be very proud of me, thus that is the name I chose. Please let me share my talent with you. I have collected lots of different fabrics over the years, so most of my aprons will be one of a kind. So get them while you can. On a personal note: I have worked and am still working full time for the same company for the last 38 years. I have also been selling mostly sewing supplies/books on Ebay under the name of quilter70 since 2001. I have sold over 600 items with a 100% positive feedback. My husband is retired and we are Proud Army Parents of one son currently stationed in Alaska.

Vicky didn't mention it, but she is also a Cottage Industry Partner with Sew Liberated and as such is one of the few people who have the right to make Emmeline aprons to sell, along with Lolas and all the other SL patterns. I'd encourage you to try her services!!

#1 You already get your name in because you are a Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice (SSEN) apron swapper.
#2 You can get your name in an additional time by posting a comment on this post.

Note from Lana at Sassy Apron

I want to thank everybody for visiting my Sassy Apron store on Etsy and participating in the Lucy and Shawnee's Sassy and Flirty Apron Giveaway. I like Shawnee's blog because she always takes the time to come up with cool themed apron swaps all the time. I appreciate all the compliments and all the nice words said about my aprons here and for mentioning me in your blogs. I visited them and read all the comments.

I have so much fun making Sassy Aprons and it makes me happy when people enjoy them. I give away 1-2 aprons a month on different blogs and I always advertise it in my store. Don't forget to visit Sassy Apron on Etsy for the next apron giveaway. If you are wondering why the outside weather in my apron pictures is so nice, it's because I live in Arizona. It's always sunny in Arizona!

Thank you again and have fun baking lots of goodies in the kitchen!
