4 Crazy * Kings * Hawaiian Bread....

I want to thank Mama King of 4 Crazy Kings for the shout out on her blog! She was the winner last month of my apron giveaway. She really knows how to show her appreciation and make a girl feel good. :) Check out her blog - she is definitely my "go-to-gal" when I need some ideas or inspirations..especially for kid's crafts!

Speaking of Kings......

Another cool thing - remember the "King's Hawaiian Bread - Turkey & Cheese Sandwich" recipe I posted? Well I entered the recipe and picture in a contest that was being held on the King's Hawaiian Bakery Facebook page and won! Now my little avatar picture of me and my girls is on the King's Hawaiian Bakery website (page 2) for a short time. You'll notice that my picture is not posted with my recipe but with a professional photo and recipe of their choice. That's okay! ;)


Are you wondering what I won? I wish I could say that I won a year's worth of King's Hawaiian bread but I wasn't THAT lucky. I did, however win a free King's Hawaiian product of my choice (which I already picked up and ate.) By the way, you can sign up for coupons and great savings from King's Bakery here.

Super cool. :)

The Winner of the Apron Giveaway is......

#28 - Mama King!

Congratulations! I hope your girls enjoy *sharing* the apron! (Yes....big can of worms!)

Thanks to all that took the time to participate!

Winner & Giveaway!

Most of you know that I'm a big fan of "You Can Make This". They recently held an "I Made This!" contest where you could submit your own photos of things you have made using patterns sold by YCMT. Well guess what? I entered four different pictures and.......

*Drum roll please........* I WON!!!!

(*Applause*Applause*Applause*Thank You!*Thank You!*)

Can you say super stoked?

So what did I win? A bundle pack of patterns worth over $100! Dress patterns, doll patterns, pillow patterns, holiday patterns, etc!

Yeah. Super-duper-stoked! So I want to share my luck with others! Not just because I won but I just realized that my one year blogging anniversary (blogiversary) has come and gone!

Can I get another "Whoo-hoo!" (Why do I write that when I don't even SAY that? Seriously?!?)

Since I won using a YCMT pattern I thought I would make something using one of their patterns to give away. How about a "Little Helper Reversible Apron" much like I made awhile ago? I had such a great response and luckily have enough of each of the fabrics to make another. Same pattern, same print. Here's a picture of it in case you missed it months ago:

It'll be hot off the machine - much like a bakery. :) I've got a ton of things to finish up this week for my daughter's birthday party so I can't even start on it till after the weekend!

Here's how you can win: Leave me a comment telling me who you would gift the apron to. Please be sure to leave your email address if it's not easily located in your Blogger profile.

That's it!
