Aloha fellow swappers, I finally finish, and my apron is on its way! Almost wanted to get on a plane and relax by this inspired swap! I have had so much fun with this fabric, the trim was a bear, I pull my seam ripper out way to much, I did my best, I hope my partner enjoys!

What an awesome package, Tammy!!
You're a hoot Regena!
Aloha! It's Here!
I hit the P.O. after swim class with my grandbabies today & was delighted to find a "you've gotta package'' note in my P.O. Box..... Oh could it be? YES! my Apron! wahoooo!
I was so excited when I got home,,,to take pics but no one was around to take a photo of me wearing my apron so I had to give the honors to "Lucy" my 'double'....lol!
I am going to head right over to my blog next & post lots of pics of all the goodies that Donna tucked in for me....
Donna,,,Thank you so very much! I Luv It!
Aloha & Happy Day! (sneak over to my blog to see more pics) :>)
(p.s....Donna, I can not read the spelling of your street name...can you email it to me? Thanx)
Thank You & Aloha!
I got my package from my wonderful swap partner Sally at Glamping Cowgirl! What a wonderful apron and goodies she sent to me..here are a few pictures..
Even the box was festive!
I couldn’t wait to dig in..
A very sweet note from Sally to me..
Oh goodness gracious!
There was a cute pitcher and glasses to match, cutie patootie dish towels that are really too nice to get dirty, so they are on display on a rack! Also, some umbrella style straws, paper napkins and matching plates, a cute tissue box that is in my lighthouse decorated bathroom (Sally, those are Michigan lighthouses that I love), along with a Mary Englebreit pen and matching journal! Finally there were two lei’s and a wonderful reversible apron!
Sally, thank you so very much, you did good, girl! And I love it all!

I'm squealing with delight ...
When she posted about her fabric on the blog, I fell in love with it. It's on my list of fabrics to buy ..... I think it gets an A+ on the cute scale. So when I took delivery of it from the post lady, and saw Madelyn's name as the sender, I squealed ..... my son actually came to check I was ok!!!!
Is that not the cutest apron ever .... I adore the fabric:-D As you can see, she made me a matching oven glove, hot pad, and set of coasters - my family have been warned, that they're decorative!!! No sticky barbeque sauce for these lovelies.
She also spoilt me with 2 lovely dishtowels she embroidered for me ..... also for decorative purposes family!!! A candle, hand sanitizer, nail file, and the sweetest little tape measure, all rolled up in its own little tin ..... perfect for the road trip we set off on today:-D
The pack of picnic recipes will be put to good use .... I love all things recipes:-D
Thank you so much again Madelyn for spoiling me, and bringing a BIG smile to my day.

StacieJewelry On Time Mailing Giveaway
Retail Value $26.00
Flip flops on one side of the charm and bare feet on the other...so you can wear it either way. Perfect for the beach lover!
The charm is handcrafted from fine silver and is approximately 1/2 inch round. Sterling silver ankle bracelet is 9 1/2 inches. If you need a different length, just let me know and I will cut a custom chain for you. Two sided clasp is also sterling silver.
Here's a bit about our sponsor...
Stacie from StacieJewelry!
My name is Stacie Spencer and I am a Maryland artist. I have created jewelry from my home studio for the past twelve years. All of my designs are original and handcrafted using a unique combination of precious metal clay, sterling silver, semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals and vintage beads.
I also enjoy drawing, painting and art journaling. My latest love is incorporating my artwork and jewelry together using a photo transfer method.
My work is an ongoing process of creativity and is always changing. I love to combine materials that are not typically put together, like soft pink pearls and heavier antiqued silver chain and charms. I enjoy breaking the rules with my jewelry and finding a new look. I hope you enjoy my work and find some pieces to add to your own collection of wearable art...!

My Secrete Swap partners package is in the Mail!
I decided to get a 'signature' confirmation after the last (swap) fiasco! I am still dealing with the P.O. on the missing package with out any luck.... It was delivered but unfortunatley not to my swap partner.....and the person who received it was not honest enough to return it.
I love this Aloha theme! Thanx Shawnee for being a wonderful 'swap mama'.

My two "girls" (a yellow lab/shepard mix & a chocolate lab) were the inspiration for my shop name. They like to hang around and supervise while I'm creating new banners. :)
I hand make banners for all occasions - Birthdays, Holidays, Parties, Weddings, Baby & Bridal showers, Sports, and other Celebration events. I can also custom make name or word banners. Please convo me if you would like a custom item! I use ink, stamps, acrylic paints, heavy cardstock, chipboard, ribbons, glitter & embellishments.
I have a variety of paints, inks, and stamps to use for creating each banner. The metallic paints are my favorite - they have a little sparkle!
