I mailed my apron !!!!!

Okay, this is a great day!! I mailed my apron package and was told it would take 5 to 7 days for delivery!! And I mailed the Tablecloth and napkins set to Jennifer Fredrickson! She can expect to receive them on Saturday! At least that is what the post office said.

This afternoon, I made myself a tablecloth similar to the giveaway! I put it on the table, and I love it! The colors are Blue and Green!!!!! To night I am making a kimono and slack outfit to wear to an Asian Dinner at my neighbor's house. I am almost done with the slacks! I am on a roll sewing. Anyone need an out fit for themselves? Give me a jingle!!!

Giveaway - Valentine Monster Cutie Pie Pendant

Doesn't this just make you giggle??? This sweet little pendant comes from the Etsy Shop Giggles and Grins. This could make the perfect tuck-in for your partner OR a sweet treat to keep!


I asked Dawn to tell me a little about her shop and here's what she shared:

Basically, I am a stay at home mom 2 twins, Abygale and Alyvia, and their big sister Madysen. They all 3 love gymnastics. I opened the store to help pay for their gymnastic fees for they can be very costly. The business took off and I brought on my sister who is a graphics designer and loves to craft. Together, the two of us run the store and try to bring new and exciting items to our customers. We recently opened another store, Baubles of Fun, where we are selling supplies to make jewelry. We are in hopes that it will do as well as our Giggles and Grins site (dwilcox). We both love to craft and are perfectionists. We feel that we go above and beyond to please our customers. It is our customers that keep coming back time and time again, that keeps us motivated to continue doing this :)

I love a family affair!!
