I knew my 500th post was coming up and I've been planning something fun to celebrate it. :) I've never done a giveaway here before, and I decided that would be a neat thing to do, but what to give away? Well, I ended up deciding to do two giveaways instead of one. Here's the first one, and I'll post the second one in the next post.
Giveaway #1: Floral/gingham apron!
I just finished this cute little half-apron, made from this pattern from Marie Madeline Studio. Excuse the picture quality; I had Sam taking pictures of me wearing the apron, and it was his first time ever doing so . . . and I'm not much of a model, either. :) But it gives you the general idea of what it looks like. The rick rack was my own idea--I love how it made a cute apron even cuter. You can't go wrong with rick rack!Flower-shaped buttons sewed on the ends of the apron ties, just for fun!
To enter this giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment under this post, with your name and a way to contact you! If I already know you and have your email address, just leave your name . . . otherwise please make sure to leave your email address or a way to contact you at your own blog so it's easy to let you know if you win. This contest will be open till midnight next Friday, July 18th, then I'll draw a winner next Saturday. Have fun!

Hi Carrie and Happy 500! Wow, that is a lot of blog posts. I am entering the apron contest! If I win I will find out since I check your blog regularly :)
It came out so cute, Carrie! The rick rack adds such a nice touch. And Sam did really well taking the photo.
Gosh - you're a few posts ahead of me, I'm only on 198 on my blog! I'd love to enter your competition - it's such a pretty apron. Clever girl.
Contact me on Codlins and Cream if you need to, but I have won another beautiful apron on Nancy's blog giveaway recently, so I feel a bit guilty even entering.
Hi Carrie! I'm a friend of your mom and a huge fan of aprons. The one you made is beautiful...the rick-rack is so cute! I would love to be entered in your giveaway!

Oh, Carrie, it's adorable. And I'd love to win it. Your mother sent me over and I'm so glad she did. I've never been to your site before. If you are a talented a homemaker as she is, I'm sure I'll enjoy coming back.

Sign me up! I'd love a new apron:). This is such a fun idea!
Very cute! I want it. I need it.

Carrie, you did a wonderful job - sewing & modeling ;-) I would like to enter, too. I'm going to have my kitchen done in my house shortly (Lord willing!) & it will be decorated in green, blue, & yellow, so I gotta have it ;-)
I need an apron really badly. LOL! I don't have one. So...add me in. :-) It's really cute.

What a nice apron. It would go well with my kitchen colors.
I was recently introduced to your blog by my Aunt Judy--a friend of your mother's. I have found your blog to be well worth reading.
