Apron Winner. . .

first off a big THANK YOU to everyone who took part in this give away. You all made my day by just participating ( the pessimist in me really thought no one would!). It was so nice to hear you thought my apron was pretty:)THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! As for the apron-And the winner is. . . . . CANDICE APPLE!!! (candice please e mail me at karlaadorespink@gmail.com with your address so I can place this lovely package in the mail for you!!) and don't worry there will be another apron give away in February.

Why aprons for give aways you may ask. . . well, I think it does compliment the optimistic theme of this blog quite well. You see, I think when you put on an apron you are taking the hard work that lies ahead of you and making it something wonderful by tying a pretty apron around your waist. You are saying here I am ready to accomplish whatever task lies ahead of me, whether it be peeling potatoes, cleaning the kitchen, or making a delicious dinner to wow the hubby. An apron, to me, symbolizes becoming fully immersed in whatever it is you are doing and taking a task head on while looking pretty (as we women love to do) at the same time. In other words taking a not so pretty situation ( such as dishes) and adding something beautiful (yourself in a feminine apron). Just like optimism in any situation, I am realizing it is yourself that adds the beauty or makes the situation what it is. You control how you feel about any situation and what you are going to do to make it better and this really can change your day! P.S. mr. husband surprised me and told me late last night that he took Monday off to have an extra day with the me and the kids. . . I am optimistic we will make the most of it and I will post tomorrow!
