Apron Fest '09 Winner

I finally drew a name for the

Apron Fest '09 Giveaway,

or should I say a Clone Trooper and
Princess Snow White drew names.

First, Thank you to all that entered.

I browsed each site that provided a link,

& I was inspired and delighted by many.

I have been overwhelmed by the kind words

and memories of aprons you all have said!

that was chosen is...
Damaris said...
my apron memory- I grew up in Brazil. My grandma has this huge kitchen and makes really good food. She always wears an apron. She would let me wear her apron if I ate all my food. I know love aprons and send her a new one every year for her birthday.

You may choose from the full Denim Apron

or

the Half apron with the embroidered pocket:)

Felizidades Damaris!!!

The second winner...

And I must say why I chose to have a second winner.

After Apron Fest started,

I received a call that my friend Carol R. was

going under surgery for breast cancer.

We all prayed that the Dr.'s get everything.

Apparently, she will have to go through Chemotherapy.

& it looks like she'll beat it.
Carol is a wonderful friend and I have never heard her say anything wrong about anyone, expect her first husband, who she survived domestic abuse from.

If she can beat the odds of abuse,

and now have a loving husband who is by her side,

along with friends who love her,

she can beat this!

We have a long road ahead of us and lot's of prayers.

So, I decided to make a breast cancer awareness half apron,

with a ruffled pocket.

I dedicate this apron to Carol R.,

those fighting or survived breast cancer, and in fact, any cancer.

So, the second winner is:

Thank you for the chance to win one of your aprons. And thank you for the story about your grandma. I miss mine so much. I wish my husband could of met her. I have memories the most at Christmas time. Making cookies and fudge. I now make everything with my 6 yr. old granddaughter. I think its neat to have different aprons because it can change you personality. Come check my blog contest out as well tomorrow. www.lilbitoldlilbitnew.com
