Thank you Tammy

I love it
 
I have received my beautiful table runner from Tammy S.  Thank you so very much.  I see it was made with a lot of love.  I will be taking the runner and all of the wonderful little tuck-ins to my mom's in Texas for our Thanksgiving dinner.  This has been a wonderful swap and I am looking forward to the next one.  Again, thank you so much Tammy.  You are very talented.

Table Runner Packages are Flying

Now is the time for those table runner packages to be FLYING around the country, straight to you!  Several of you have sent me your tracking numbers (good job following directions, ladies) so I need to update the website tonight.  I kept super busy this weekend so didn't finish my updates then.

MY package arrived this last week, from the sweet new-FAS-swapper Amanda.  Here's one picture with more to follow.  Can you believe she was afraid it was too springy?  It's a PERFECT autumn runner that could be used in the spring, too.  THANK YOU AMANDA.  She also included two packs of fat quarters in delicious color combinations AND a magazine called "Mollie Makes" this is FULL of DIY crafting projects and she marked the special ones with homemade bookmarks.  SUPER SPECIAL!

Please mail your package out if you haven't yet, and send me your tracking number.  If you're going to be a little late, let me know that, too.  I hope you've had fun with this non-apron swap -- I know I have!

Question --- I am thinking MAYBE I can squeeze in one more swap before Christmas.  Apron or non-apron?  Suggestions??

I'm So Spoiled!

Hi Marybelle (Mary F)
 
You are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!   I just received the cutest apron from Marybelle.  As you can see, even my dog Abby loves it.  Plus all of these tuck ins:   Mug Rug; Gardening Gloves; Flower Seeds; Colorful Buttons; Vanilla Cupcake (my favorite flavor) Candle; an Apron Pattern; Scrub Brush for the kitchen.
 
See why I think I am spoiled?   I want Marybelle to be my swap partner all the time.
 
Thank you again for my package.   You did gooooooooooooooood.

Beautiful Apron Received from Mary Ann

Check out this amazing apron package I received from BRAND NEW swapper Mary Ann in this`round of the Flirty Apron Swap ...

You can tell something special is inside when you get a terrific box like this!!

She MADE me that gorgeous necklace and earring set! And the soap has chocolate chips inside - MUCH better for my waistline than the usual. Also inside, that cute set of nesting heart cookie cutters AND a convenient and funny little mirror for my purse.

Course, the best is this sweet Apron apron (as my daughter called it). I am so tired in this picture and have dishes to finish, but HAD to share a picture of this cute apron. I love the fabric combination and she added little contrast buttons to the pocket (being squished by Ms T) that make it so cute.

THANK YOU, Mary Ann!!!!

Thank You Nadine!!

My sweet partner was Nadine and she made me the most amazing package!! I had to call her and express my gratitude. SNOWFLAKE was my word:

I adore how she labeled everything and put in so much thought and creativity (so much better than I). Sbe used my favorite colors, red and white.

I need to get a good shot of the apron ... it matches the gift bag perfectly with its creamy white zig-zag. Nadine has a great tutorial link on her blog on how to get those perfect zig-zags.

THANKS for a wonderful swap, dear Nadine!

This beauty was made by Jenny A in Utah!! -SH

Thank You Lana!

I must be the luckiest Girl in the World!!! Thank you Lana, aka Sassy Apron! I have been checkin out your aprons online at etsy but now I own one!!! The headband is even on my head as I type this... Thank you so much.

Flirty Apron SCORE!

Dear Glenda was my partner. Look at the CUTE packaging of my adorable fall/Halloween apron

My sweet daughter modeled for me!! I LOVE it all - the bright colors of the apron and cute cupcakes embellished for Halloween. She did such a great job on all that bias tape! Then she just stuffed my full of goodness -- a yummy candle, two holiday potholders and a special kitchen towel, a cute sign for my growing collection and -BONUS- a Mary Engelbreit mini-calendar for next year. THANK YOU -- Glenda, you really know my likes so well!!

Here's a little peek at the package I pulled together for my partner ....

I can only show one side of the apron ... side two would be a dead giveaway!

Hope you're having as much fun as I am. PLEASE comment more on our giveaway post and show Lana some love!!!

Fall-Themed Badge

Hey swappers -- Here's an Autumnal badge for this swap.

Isn't this apron LOVELY? My good friend, Lana, of Sassy Apron let me highlight her original apron creation in this badge. I don't know if you can tell, but those are cute little turkeys in the print! And I love the gingham contrast.

If you are EVER in the market for an apron, Lana is your gal!

I own several of her aprons and she's saved my bacon several times when I ran out of time making an apron and had to place a rush order.

Don't forget - purchasing a handmade apron for one of my swaps is always an option, especially if it comes from Lana!!

PS - There is a Sassy Apron giveaway in our near future!!! YEAH!!!

Chrissy, thanks for a wonderful package.

My package arrived and was filled with some really fun things. The apron is a ruffled black with white polka dot number. There is chartreuse bias tape around the edges. It's super cute. There was a pearl and ribbon necklace that I think is handmade for the 50s, blue and gray striped leg warmers for the 80s and it was all tucked into a tote bag that for the future.

It came from Chrissy. Thank you so much. I love it all. And you are a talented seamstress.

More Apron Thanks!!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE my swap package! I opened a huge box earlier today from Jennifer W in Canada, and was so shocked at how much time and attention she spent. I LOVE the clear wrapping on the basket and how everything was individually wrapped. I've already used the sweet cupcake pincushion and hot red pins. And those handmade cards are just too sweet. Wow, very impressive. My embellished towels already have a place of honor in my kitchen, and I can't wait to make some delicious cupcakes in my ME baking cups to serve on my ME napkins. WHILE wearing the most adorable cherry on yellow apron ever. I think the white eyelet makes the perfect sweet edging. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JENNIFER!!

This is what I sent off to my partner ... I was late, so I hope she'll forgive me and play again. I had SO MUCH fun with this swap and had a hard time stopping!

Mini Cherry Pie Magnet tuckins

Other tuckins

My CCME ruffled apron - that way I didn't have to CHOOSE from all my fabrics! LOL!!

MORE APRON GOODNESS:

Check out the cute package that Lauree received from Amy K. The main part of the apron is the cute Friendship ME panel.

This sweet setup was received by Rita in Canada from Becca. Aren't those colors just LOVELY?

I'm about ready to announce my next swap, so hope you all will be joining again. This one is a bit different than my normal theme -- still lots of room for creativity.

I'm trying to get the last few aprons taken care of. KEEP AN EYE ON THIS BLOG! =)

It's TIME!!!

Hi ladies -- TODAY's the final day to get your apron creations into the mail and email me your tracking number. What a FUN swap this has been and I LOVE all the wow-y beautiful aprons I'm seeing.

MY box came day before yesterday and LOOK ... Kat made me the most amazing creation! She used an Apron-ology apron for inspiration and created a masterpiece. Plus, her lovebirds fabric looks JUST like my Facebook Icon ... isn't that so cool???

THANK YOU KAT. I feel so very special!!

Did you know that I always find it hard to assign someone to be my partner? I don't want anyone to feel pressure and it's been harder and harder for me; I've been tempted to sit out and just do the admin part. BUT, Miss Kat was so sweet and asked to be my partner in her registration. I jumped on that request. I had no idea how wonderfully talented she is, in addition to being a great swapper, so great about regularly commenting and posting, plus she's a talented florist and wonderful friend. Thanks again, sweetie. =)

I made the Lilly Apron for my partner. She wanted an aqua/brown combo. I love a little red, so decided to modify the pattern to be reversible, and added some red to the reverse. Side two reminds me of my gal's family. Both sides are accented with big polka dot pockets, and there's a huge polka dot bow in the back!




LASTLY, don't forget to show some love to our giveaway sponsor, Ms Bev. She has donated THREE of these adorable rock-a-billy little headbands. COMMENT on the original post (CLICK HERE) for entries!!

Merry Christmas! (and new swap hint)

Here's the Santa Baby apron I sent off to Mindy. Don't you love vintage pinup girls??


I pray you all enjoy a lovely Christmas with family and friends, wearing your Christmas Carol Creation apron made especially for you. THANK YOU for participating. And posting. And being so generous with your partners. I hope you made a few new friends.

Come back in a few days to sign up for the next Flirty Apron Swap ... here's a hint:
