How to win. . . .
1.I plan to do a monthly give away, become a follower of my blog and you will instantly be entered into each drawing for one opportunity to win each give away every month!!!

2. Place a post on your blog about my give away with the link and you will be rewarded 5 entries( make sure to leave a comment you did so I know). . . but wait if you win and are both a follower and you made a post about this give away then you get the apron and a very special suprise as well!! What is it you ask, well its a suprise but I am optimistic that you will love it:)

Great job on this! I always have a hard time with gathering, so I would never have made an apron with three layers of gathers, but you did awesome. It's so cute.
