No Better Reason for an Apron Giveaway…

All things Lime (recipe and giveaway!)

June 30, 2009 By Deanna Filed Under Giveaways, Kitchen Chicky

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.
