Halloween swap....

Just a little info that I am hosting my 5th Annual Halloween swap!  Click HERE if interested!

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!!!

D D D DDDDDDONE!!!!!!

 

Well, I hemmed and hawed enough about the finishing, but I really like the halter look.  I hope my swappee does too! 

As for the tuck-ins, they will be a surprise to me too!   

Happy Cauldroning!!

FAS12 Flirty Halloween Apron Swap - OPEN

The time is here ... our next swap is ready for registrations!

First, I just need to put it out there that I struggle with Halloween. I LOVE the dressing up, the colors, the fun and laughter; I HATE the creepy, the evil, the dark side. For this swap, the rule of thumb is CUTESY/FLIRTY or COSTUME-Y not creepy/scary. Aprons made in a fall theme/colors would be great, too.

Also, I've had some feedback that not all swap package are created equal, so to speak. I would ask that everyone tries to spend around the same for our tuck-ins. I think minimum $15 is fair. So, do not send only dollar-store items but some things that YOU would love to receive. Even $15 isn't very much, but can go far as long as you shop the sales for bargains, hand craft some items, use your stash, or even shop vintage/thrift stores for the good stuff. I have added ideas and links to the right sidebar and I will regularly post ideas for tuck-ins, too. We are a creative bunch so I can't wait and see what you pull together!

Create a handmade Flirty Halloween Apron package! Your apron can be cutesy, costume-y, or fall-flavored -- no CREEPY aprons allowed! You will include at least three "tuck-ins" relative to the theme; all items must be handcrafted, new, or be in "good as new" condition if they are thrifted or re-gifted. Plan on spending a minimum of $15 on the tuck-ins, in addition to the apron and postage. Really read your partner's registration/blog for their likes and dislikes. And, as always, make your package pretty … wrap it in tissue, tie it up with a cute bow, and include a personal little note card please.

Also, due to the time-sensitive nature of this swap, NO LATE PACKAGES. Please do not sign up if you cannot make the deadlines for this one.

Since this is a short registration window, I'm hosting a little contest to get word out. I bought some adorable Halloween fabric and have three fat-quarter bundles to give away (one FQ of each style included in every bundle).

You automatically get an entry when you register early for this swap (by 9/25). One more entry for posting the swap badge on your blog/facebook page. One more entry for every time you tweet/FB about this swap. For every entry, leave separate comments with links as appropriate in the comments below. Contest deadline is 9/26.

Let's make this a full one, shall we??
