This week, I am having a giveaway in honor of all the wonderful blogging friends I have made in the last 2 1/2 years. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by for a visit and am also thankful for the kind comments.
Some of you may remember I bought this fabric to make an apron for my friend that got married last weekend.
My friend, Christina gave me the vintage lace for the pocket.
I actually made two aprons, so this one is for the giveaway! Also included...
Two burgundy kitchen towels. I had small strips of fabric leftover that I added to the bottom.
Two coffee mugs and dessert plates for you and a friend.
A butterfly notecard and envelope set.
Peony hand cream.
Garden Moment Getaways by Emily Barnes
Four Mammoth Sunflower packets that I made last week.
To enter the giveaway all you have to do is leave a comment before Thursday August 21, 08 at 11:00pm EST. You don't have to have a blog to join in, just leave an email address, so I have a way of reaching you. Good luck and thank you for joining in!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 347 of 347Hi there! This sounds like a wonderful giveaway and the items look beautiful! You are so talented!
What wonderful gifts, dear Kelli! A pity I live so far away. I think if I was lucky, the postage to South Africa would be exorbitant. But I can admire them and your generosity. Have fun with the giveaway! Love Eleanor
How sweet of you! I am a long time lurker and love reading. Please enter me into your giveaway!! :)
I've recently found your blog and love it. I am a homeschooling mom, too! Your giveaway would look great in my kitchen.
I'm getting some good nesting ideas from your blog!

Do you take bribes?
Hey Kelli. Just stopped in to say that I tried a variation on the jam (fruit) filled oatmeal bars and it was de-lish.
I made it just the way your recipe stated but layered the jam with with thin slices of banana. I sliced them thin (the thickness of a quarter). I baked them right in and it came out great. Just wanted to share in case you like the taste of banana.
Also, I am drooling, please enter me in your contest. I love everything that you are giving away. I wished that we lived closer so that you could help me to become more crafty. I desire to send letters and handmade pretties to friends but I can never get the pretty look.
My things turn out looking like a first graders art project:0(
I'll stop coveting now. Have a great day.
So many beautiful things! Please enter me! I enjoy reading your blog so much and seeing all of your wonderful ideas.

Dear Kelli,
I am going to take this opportunity to simply say "Thank you!" At first I was going to take part in your giveaway but, I thought that just being able to see these lovely things and how you always share your ideas was a blessing in itself.(Perhaps a new mom with many little ones and little time to spare from the "daily needs" would be a good choice for your giveaway,just a thought :)
You are always so willing to share your receipes, gift making ideas,etc. The manner in which you display step by step is so encouraging and helpful in learning new things. Thanks again and continue in this ministry which is yours for this season. Blessings, a sister in Christ Lydia K <><

What a great site. I try to visit yours at least once a week (I just don't have time throughout the week). If I could have my own blog, it would be like yours. I just love your collections and you have such creativity.I would love to be entered in your give away. I love aprons, tea parties and Emilie Barnes. It gives me ideas for great combination gifts. Thank you for considering me. :-)
