Flutter on over & sign yourselves up for a Springy great time In the Spring/Garden Themed Mini Apron Swap!
Same guidelines apply as always..
Mini's should be aproximatley 3x5 inches..(About the size of your hand..)
Nice long Apron Strings so we can time them all to each other...
You are the Artist.. to these crations are all yours..
Just keeping in mind the general Theme of Spring and or Garden..
You'll make as many as there are Girls that sign up.. with ONE additional one as well.. For our Sweet Queen Bee!!!
Once your finished.. you can send them on off to me in an envelope/package.. enclosing a self addressed stamped envelope/package that has the same amount of postage on it that cost you to mail to me..(This usually covers the return postage for you!)
So.. lets See.. Audrina's wondering about dates..
ok.. how about this.. Today is April 2nd.. give ourselves a nice month to work on these.. I know this is WAY long enough.. & some of you are already finished.. But the last couple seemed to drag out a bit.. & I've heard a couple girls express that they felt we were running our Mini's a little close together .. I know we don't want to miss any Holidays either though!!
SOOoooo.. let say..
We'll shoot for a sign up dead line of April 15th.. & a date to have them in to me by...... May 5th...??
Tell me how you feel about these dates Girls..
This is YOUR Swap you know.. 
So If i'm pushing too fast just holler.. Or if you think we're going too slow.. tell me that too..
Of course we all have things that happen.. so when something comes up & we are late getting them in here & there & then back out too..
that just happens.. & we all know how that goes..
but in general.. How do you feel about these dates..
Work for everyone?
Just send up a flare.. Let me know..
I was hoping to do a Birthday Themed one after the Spring one..
THEN the 4th of July one.. but if we are cutting it too close.. we can switch these two around.. tell me what your all thinking too..!!
ok??
Lots of Love to ya Babies!
ok.. so here's the sign up! Tell me if I'm missing anyone so far..
If i don't have your name down yet.. It's only because I don't want to just ASSUME things for you ya know..
(Yes.. ok.. like I would EVER DO THAT!! Right??)..

ROFL......mine came and not only did I love love love my precious little minis, I had a surprize in there too,
do you remember the little tiny 3 drawer chest that she found when she went thrifting, it now lives at my house. It is the cutest most adorable little chest and it is going to live in my sewing room. Then she send a dresser runner, at least that is what I call it. I cried, a good cry girl. It cheered me when I really needed cheering. I finally got my little minis hanging up in my sewing room window. Beautiful, just beautiful.
A couple of my neighbors admire them when they go by, I love it.
You girls make my days!!!!!!

I need to get Kathie to correct the address she has for me. 2 of the numbers have been transposed the past 2 swaps, so I've been lucky to receive them at all. I'm afraid to bring this issue up to Kathie though, as she doesn't take kindly to being told she's wrong. First time I pointed out a mistake on her part to her, she sent me a box full of fresh horse dung. The last time it was a box full of bloated rotten fish that had washed up on the beach. I'm afraid to think of what will happen this time......

I have been shaking my first at my mailbox for quite some time, but today, pay dirt! Finally, what an adventure these little beauties must have been on, but at last they are here, and I am so happy to see them!!!! They are just so beautiful, yup I'm going to have to put them up in my kitchen somewhere if ever i get my kitchen cleared up enough to be able to display such dazzlers. First I'm just going to admire them, and pat them, and thank them for finally arriving.....

WOW, can I tell you that I don't know who did this, but I received "GOOD MAIL" this week. I was wracking my brain, trying to think why I would be getting good mail, as my daughter put it. Oh, what a lovely surprise to open a package and be cheered with lovely, flowered spring mini aprons. Oh, my!! How delicate some are and how sweet they look hanging over my sliding glass doors. Thank you, thank you!! You all are the best friends I could hope to ever have.

Well, imagine my surprise when I went to my mailbox and got a surprise package from you guys with the spring minis!! Since I was so busy this spring, I could not participate and then lovely Carmen donated her set to me. I was so excited I did the happy dance for an hour. When I clean my chicken coop this weekend, I am going to put them up as curtains!! Thank you all so much!! Thank you, Carmen for being so darn cute and generous!
