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!

I've never done this before but I'd love to give it a try.
I'll email for your address when I finish my aprons Kathie.
How does postage work? Do we send you the amount it takes to send to you or a sase?

Yippee!!
Hello Little Sisters!!

Ok.. Your in! I'll add your names right now..

Yep Denise.. you Got it Girl..
That seems to be the best way to do it..
Just send a self addressed envelope with the exact same postage on it that it cost you to mail to me..& that is what I'll return your swapped Mini's back to you in!
ORRrrrr ! You can just include the postage stamp.. & I'll do a return on your same envelope.. To cut down on envelopes..! (that works too!)

Good to see you all in this one too!
Have fun Girls!

& Merry Christmas again!

Hi Sheryl Baby! I've really missed you Girl!
Sorry i haven't written lately!!! Dang time gets away from us.. doesn't it!
Hope all is well!!

Take care everyone.. I hope Santa is good to you all!!!

Lots of Love..
Kathie

Any ideas on how you gals display your minis?
I was thinking about gathering some little branches and setting them into a large vase and tying the aprons to that.
Another idea is to pin them to a solid color kitchen valance in a random pattern on the valance, or even on solid color curtains/drapes.
I know some make a long garland out of them, but I have been trying to come up with other ideas for displaying them as well.
What about creating a garland and hooking them across the top of a shower curtain..you know where the hooks are on a shower curtain?..just looping the ties through the hook part so that the aprons hang as a little garland over a gingham styled bathroom /shower curtain.
Some of them could be randomly tied to your kitchen counter cabinet handles/the handles on the cabinets that you don't use very often.

Ok Carol Sue.. Your In Sister!!
Tina.. We'll each make as many as how ever many Girls sign up..(Plus one for Mary Jane..)
Meaning if 20 Girls sign up.. you'll make 21....

Sooooooo.. this a Yes for you Kiddo?
(I think you'll have alot of fun..!)

Yep.. all the ideas your thinking of.. are exaclty what we are thinking..! Garland's.. Valances.. Now we are thinking of keeping up a small tree year round to display them..
Sort of a Seasonal Mini Tree! We can keep cahnging them out with each new swap!

So, I have two questions (that I can think of right now). Do all of my aprons need to be exactly the same or could they vary in color and trims a bit? And must they be sewn or could I knit or crochet or tat or some other craft?
Thanks girls!

Kathie, is there room for one more on this swap? I haven't done a mini-apron swap yet but would like to try. Plus, I need to keep my hands busy with red and pink to ward off the annual post-hoiday blues (does anyone else get those too?)

Kathie,
Please, oh please sign me up!
By the way, have you figured out how to put up with the work schedule/man underfoot situation, or are we gonna be reading about you in the crime section of the newspaper anytime soon? Trust me, if you got a jury of your peers-women with no time to sew- you'd get off scot free

Ok My Girls!!!
I have all the newest names added now!! (I'll have to correct the colers & The configuration wHen I get home.. But I have all the names of everyone that has said they'd like to be i the Valentine Swap n now!!)
I am actually on the road now as we speak.. on a traveling adventure so to speak with my husband! We are touring parts of Missouri & Tennessee.. looking at properties for sale! & so far we haven't killed each other. AND we are still speking to each other!! not too bad for three days into the trip huh?

Well.. I'm seeing that we have ALOT of new Girls signed up this time too!!
This is Awesome! I am SOooooo excited!! Can't wait to see what you all come up with Ladies!!

So to answer a couple questions.. yes.. you CAN still sign up.. because you ARE in now!!
You make a Mini for everyone that signs up.. PLUS... an addtional for Mary Jane..

There is no set rule .. how they look.. or how you make them.. or even what materials you use.. they don't even have to be the same!!!
They should just be about the same same sizes though,
The standard 3x5.. about the size of your hand..

Have fun Girls!!!

I think we'll give it another week or so then we'll cut off the sign up...
This should give everyone Plenty of time to get them in !!
