I participated in the recent edition of the Flirty Apron Swap. I’m still working on the apron I need to send to my assigned buddy but the gal who was assigned to me was on the ball and sent my apron already along with some other goodies. Here they are!
The theme for this swap was “Dream Summer Vacation”. When we filled out the questionnaire we had to say what our summer vacation dream would be. I said I’d love to spend my vacation visiting among the Amish. I love their simple, self-sustaining lifestyle. My swap partner decided to make the Gathering Apron, which we love using around here, because it reminded her of the long Amish aprons. We use these for collecting our chickens’ eggs and gathering veggies from the garden.
My partner chose material based on my love of chocolate thus combining both themes, chocolate and Amish. She also sent a wonderful Amish cookbook, some homemade soap bits, beeswax candles, a market tote bag, and some locally (to her) made chocolate that is delicious.
what a great package to receive! looks like a fun swap.
“The emergence of New Media is facilitating a world-wide conversation on almost every subject including religion, and nearly everyone can participate. …
“Conversations will continue whether or not we choose to participate in them. But we cannot stand on the sidelines while others, including our critics, attempt to define what the Church teaches. …
“The challenge is that there are too many people participating in conversation about the Church for our Church personnel to converse with and respond to individually. We cannot answer every question, satisfy every inquiry, and respond to every inaccuracy that exists. …some who seek answers want them to come directly from a member of the Church, like each one of you. …
“May I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet, particularly the New Media, to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms the message of the Restoration. Most of you already know that if you have access to the Internet you can start a blog in minutes and begin sharing what you know to be true. You can download videos from Church and other appropriate sites, including Newsroom at LDS.org, and send them to your friends. You can write to media sites on the Internet that report on the Church, and voice your views as to the accuracy of the reports. …
What a fantastic swap! I LOVE the fabric.
Your new apron is lovely!
