My Sweet Valentine Package Giveaway
I am in total shock that it is already February! Does anyone even remember January this year?? It just seemed to fly by. I have all sorts of personal projects going on, crafts and cooking, working and volunteering. And pinning on Pinterest. That seems to take on a life of it’s own, at least in my household. Be watching for a chance to share your favorite Pinterest project with fellow Apronistas. I think that would be fun, plus we can find new friends to follow. I love seeing the beautiful and original projects pinned by crafty friends.
Anyway, I recently received such a fun email that I’m happy to share! Two dear friends are teaming up with a special Valentines Giveaway. One of my favorite Apronistas, Cynthia from D-Lux 57 is giving away one of her Valentines Cookies Designer Series Aprons:
Don’t you just LOVE the leopard trim and accent?? Plus, her D-Lux 57 aprons are all crafted in the USA. AND, she offering an Apronista discount code apronlove, worth 20% off til Feb 15, 2012.
I’ve been making cookies my whole life. Well, almost. I was born on Christmas Eve, in 19. . . let’s just say it was the latter part of the 20th century. While my mom and I were resting in the hospital, my dad and brother were home making Christmas cookies. The recipe they followed, which I still use to this day, came from my Grandma Wetter, my mom’s mom. I’ve been told it’s the best sugar cookie ever!
Throughout my childhood, we made these special cookies every Christmas. It was always a highlight of the season. Once I married and set up my own home, I started making cookies for other holidays too, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween. . . It became my new family’s tradition.
After gifting friends and family with our delicious cookies, I started to get special requests, for weddings and birthday parties. Which leads us to Kelley Hart Custom Cookies! Our cookies are hand made, with meticulous loving care. We use the highest quality ingredients, with no preservatives or artificial anything. They are decorated with royal icing, and made fresh to order. Individually packaged or by the dozen, Kelley Hart Custom Cookies will make any occasion delightful and delicious.

January Apronista and Giveaway
Happy New Year!! We are kicking off the year by highlighting one of my favorite Apronistas, Marla from Sugar Baby Aprons.
Sugarbaby showcases a trust zest for life, family and the kitchen through their inspiration. The founder, Marla Fortier has an incredibly inspiring story about how through coping with the loss of a child, she turned to baking and Sugarbaby as a sense of regaining her life and showing that you can slowly learn to live and dream again and fulfill your dreams (which Marla did through Sugarbaby). She hopes to one day spread the message of inspiration and homemaking to others and build family and relationships to a closer level.
I love how Marla is constantly adding new goodies that are fun and fresh. This month’s giveaway is just that, this POLKA DOTTED Kitchen Mitt. Do you know how much I LOVE polka dots??? Check it out:
Squeeeee! Not only adorable, but they are lined with satin, are 100% cotton, machine wash and dry, AND they really work.
Look what else she does: 20% of the purchase price of THIS cutie went to the Cancer Angels of San Diego this past October — LOVE that!
Great sense of style AND a philanthropist! What’s not to love?!?
EXTRA BONUS: Discount code is “apronista” for an extra 15% shopping discount for the month of January! Talk about a wonderful Valentine’s gift!!
