Hello Dearies!!!!
Guess What time it Is??? 
SOooooo Very Close to Valentines Day it isn't even Funny!
That's what time it is!!!! 
ok.. & Remember, Some of you had mentioned that you were going to keep up a small tree in your Kitchen for your Mini Apron's.. So.. when you start packing away those Christmas Decorations.. Be sure you leave one out now!!!
Anyway!
Same as Always..
These Mini's should be with in the same guidelines..
About 3x5..(or the size of your hand.. or there abouts..)
Make sure that those Apron Strings are nice & long so we can be sure we can tie them all to each other!!!
You'll make one for each Girl that signs up for the swap.. PLUS one for Mary Jane.. (This has become our Tradition..)
so keep an eye out for how many Girls are signing up.. So far we've never had more then 20.. so that seems to be a good number.. & if you have extra's.. then these are always fun for something else too anyway!!...
The Theme this time is Valentines Day of Course.. Our Dear Sweet Jess's Favorite Holiday!!
So.. just let me know if your in & I'll sign you up!
Lets see.. the dealine to get them to me..
(Yes I know.. WHY o WHY do I BOTHER!!!  )
But we'll say the deadline to have them TO my House is.. February 1st,2008.. That gives me plenty of time to get them to you if they aren't late.... ! For The Sweet Day!!
If this is your First time.. Or if you need my address again.. please just let me know by e-mailing me.. or if you need any more info on deatain on what you should be doing .. you can email me.. or post here.. anyone will be happy to help..
Again.. This is a FUN swap.. !!
So. Happy Mini-ing Girls!!
Sign up anytime Now!!!! 
ok.. I'll go 1st!

Ladies, I came home to a bountiful package of handmade aprons. I love these very much and have them hanging over my sliding glass doors by the eating table. I especially love the knitted or chocheted versions. I have not been handy in that craft yet, but it makes me want to try it out.
Thank you to having such fun mail when I got home. It made all those days of working worth it.

Jenna i LOVE your Apron Girl!! So Cute!!
Great display of mini's Too kiddo!!

Good thing we don't live close by..
It would have to be coming to visit Grannie Kathie way to often!!
You'd never get to see your own Dog much at all I'm afraid!
Jess I'm so happy you got your Package baby..
Just some sweet things to spoil my girl for a bit with..
& Remember.. Anytime someone starts to get on your nerves.. just smile sweetly & say.. " You say Tomato..."

YAY!!! My minis came today. Boy, you all put my firsties to shame. They are all so cute and the embellishing is fantastic.
Nay, Which ones did you do? I noticed a little tag with your name on it but it was not attached to any of them. I am keeping the names with aprons so I wanted to put yours with the right one.
Next time I will do more embellishing and tag mine or something. I think it is nice to have them marked with the names of those who made them. Thanks all!
Guess we won't have a sign up for the spring swap until the westerns are done. Maybe I should get started anyway.
Oh and those chocolates are history already. I couldn't resist. Now you all know one of my weaknesses. The up side is if I eat to much chocolate I break out in hives. Never know when that will be so at least it makes me limit myself.
