I really didn't have any plans for a giveaway anytime soon but when I found these cute aprons at my thrift store on Wednesday (it was half-off-day...so I bought them for $1 each) I just wanted to share. The red gingham apron on top doesn't have a "handmade by Margie" tag but I'm pretty sure this one is from Margie because the material and stitching on the ric-rak are very similar to these.
I have to admit that giveaways kind of stress me out so I'm going to make this a short one...I'll draw a name on Monday morning so just leave a comment before then and the little red apron will be on its way. No guidelines for the comments but if you have an idea on how to photograph aprons, I'd love to hear it. I used to put an apron on my daughter and take a picture of her ( like this ) but after the first 2 or 3 times she decided she had enough of that.
If your are shopping for a special valentine, I have cute kits to make this heart...right here (shipping is free!) Purchase the heart kit before Monday and I'll put your name in the hat for the valentine apron giveaway...twice.
Today is my son Ross's birthday and he has received the ultimate kid birthday gift...a snow day!
Have a good weekend everyone and I'll be mailing one of you an apron on Monday.
Sounds great :)

I've started an apron collection, and this would be a great addition! Thanks!

I don't know if it will work for photos. but my mom has her aprons and linen embroidered towels hanging on a "clothesline" in her laundry room.
Have a wonderful day.

Well sign me up sister! I like to photograph aprons outdoors on a makeshift clothesline using old clothespins, but the weather has to cooperate for that!

I've been wanting a good apron for a while now. I cook SO much, and an apron around the kitchen would be such a blessing!
You are so lucky to be able to get such good finds!

Like a few others have mentioned, I have used the clothesline.
I have also used a giant piece of white matboard (acquired from Hobby Lobby), laid them flat on it, and stood above them on a chair to take the picture.
