All things Lime (recipe and giveaway!)

So which one do you want? For FREE including shipping?
I am so excited Deanna is gracious (or rather brave enough) to let me post on the refined and internationally famous Apronista blog. I feel like I should have put on something classier then my clearance section Target sundress and dollar flip flops… (FYI we’re slummin’ it ladies) – the real purpose for this post is to announce the fun limey giveaway over at the Secret Stitch Club blog.

It’s so easy and you can have 4 chances to enter to win one of these two aprons (the top apron is adult sized made by Christie, the bottom one is called “Cherry Limeade” it is a child size apron and was made by yours truly)
* 1st way to win – leave a comment “bla, bla, bla” whatever you want to say
* 2nd way to win – post about it on your blog, like I did here on mine. (feel free to use the apron photos)
* 3rd way to win – go to our ETSY store and tell us what you like the most (preferably my bath aprons, but Jill & Christie make equally cool stuff)
* 4th way to win – tell us what your favorite summer time drink is (mine: frozen coke lime from Islands) and don’t forget to leave your email so we can let you know when you win.
That’s it – oh and if you make Christie’s lime cupcakes recipe your mouth will be thanking you for weeks. I was one of her test subjects and there was one left over, I froze it (translation: hid it from my husband) and enjoyed it frozen the next day – yummy, yum, yum.
P.S. You CAN’T enter here… It just won’t due. The apronista can not be held responsible for so much inundation of lime at one time. To enter just click HERE and you will be directly directed in the right direction.

Apron-fest ‘09 Update

I wanted to update you all about the upcoming Apron 316394538_2d600283b2Giveaway Party. I decided to start the Party on Monday August third, because that is MY birthday! So what better way to celebrate than a bunch of Apron Giveaways – in addition to the one here, I will be providing a Mr Linky so EVERYONE can participate – all you have to do is post an Apron giveaway on your own blog and leave a link to it here! Then all week Apronistas will come by and enter YOUR giveaways. Now, it DOESN’T have to be an apron you made – it can be an adorable vintage apron you found at a yard sale, all pressed and with some pretty recipe cards attached, or it can be the supplies to MAKE an apron – it’s up to you! 

 

I am also going to TRY to update all the Apronistas and shops that need to be added to the pages – hmmm, maybe I need an assistant Apronista! I am working on a new design for this site, but clients’ sites have kept me SO busy that I can never get to it!  I am also trying to photograph all my aprons – at last count there was 84 Vintage and over 20 new aprons – no wonder I can never find a place to put them all!

My First Session

About a year ago, I was given the opportunity by Sony to try out their latest Digital SLR Cameras, and to attend a workshop given by wonderful wedding photographer Me Ra Koh and her husband Brian. Little did I know how much that weekend in San Diego would change my life – well, at least this part of it. Sony gave me the tools to start my own photography business, and Me Ra gave me the inspiration. I began slowly, taking pictures of my kids (of course) and was soon asked by others to take photos of their kids, families, and it grew from there. Today I am on the verge of making it “Official”. I have a blog (to be revealed soon!), a plan (I think) and a goal.

A couple of weekends ago I had my first “formal” shoot – granted, it was a friend and her daughter, but I tried to conduct it as a professional, and I am really pleased with the outcome…

I have another session coming up, and I have made a few photographer friends for encouragement and to bounce ideas off of. So if you live in the Inland Empire, or anywhere in Southern California, and you would like to set up a session, shoot me an email – Mama needs an A-900!! ;)
