I hope you are all busy getting to know each other and start working on your packages. I have heard back from all of you now. I am very excited about the pairings in this swap and hope you are enjoying your partners. This is a very different way of swapping for SAS and I am interested to see how it goes.
I am also really excited about the sponsors we have for this swap and the giveaways we have lined up. Our first two giveaways were pretty fun and I hope you have all gone and checked out their sites.
I have a new giveaway to offer you today. My friend Jan from J Carrell Originals has offered us a custom made apron just for this swap. If you haven't checked out her site yet you should! She sells beautiful aprons (I have a lovely chicken apron on black that she made for me!! thank you!). She also sells tea pot (we will have a giveaway for one of those soon) and tea cozies. If you are strapped for time (who isn't) and would like to get a fabulous apron ready-made for your partner, check out Jan's aprons. They are lovely and very affordable.
Here is the lovely Tea Cup apron that Jan so graciously made for us.
Fabulous isn't it!!!??! I just love it and am so excited that she took the time to make it special for us.
Do you want one??? hee hee
Well here is what you have to get this lovely apron for your very own. To get an entry in this giveaway you have to leave comments on the blog. Before I would give an entry for just being part of the swap but I think it is more fair to honor those that take the time to come here, read up on the swap info, and take the time to give some blogging love to our sponsors. So here are the ways to get your name in this giveaway drawing:
1- Leave a comment on this blog entry and get ONE entry
2- Go to J Carrell Originals, check out her shop and see what she makes, come back to the blog and leave ANOTHER comment telling me what is your favorite product on her site. For this you get One more entry in the giveaway.
3- Go to your blog and post a blog post about this giveaway, Jan's shop and what lovely things she is doing there and get TWO additional entries (you have to post a comment here telling me about your blog post so I can check it out and give you your two extra entries).
4- If you actually Order something from Jan - an apron, a teapot, or one of her cozies - You will get TEN extra entries. Just post a comment here again with your swap name and I will check it with Jan and give you your extra 10 entries.
You have till Monday night 12:00 central time to post all your comments here and I will pick the lucky winner and blog it on Tuesday morning.

LOVE hearts, but I'd have to add my own touch! Will be checking back weekly! hope to WIN
What a cute apron! I'm off to check out her site now!
Just got back from Jan's site and I love the cute tea cozies. My favorite was the yellow with pink and purple flowers, so springy!
Hello again! I just posted a blog post on my blog about Jan's cute shop and a picture of the give away apron. That should be four entries total for me!
Great Giveaway! I love the bright color of that ruffle!
I too am off to check out her shop :)
Extra entry:
I really like her Retro Blue apron and the Pink Damask apron that's under the New Apron heading.
I didn't see any prices for them though, did I miss them?
And her Buttery Cashew Brittle recipe sounds amazing. I love cashews much more than peanuts so I'll have to give this a try next holiday season when I'm making candy to give away.
My favorite is the pink and brown ruffly apron. I think a tea time apron can sport a ruffle since it is a "company" apron. I think my tea swap apron will have a ruffle.
I am leaving this comment to get two entires? hehehe and I am going to post her site on my blog now (racing to my blog)
so that gives me four?
How exciting that you are opening it all of us! I love it, now I need to get busy with the rest of the requirements.
I really like the pink and brown one but I think my favorite might be the Georgia Peach.
Fun giveaway!! Thanks for hosting this apron swap again. It must be a ton of work for you but I appreciate it :- )
I blogged about this today!!
