"Catholic Cuisine" Apron Giveaway

I am so excited to be hosting our very first giveaway, sponsored by Catholic Embroidery, for a lovely "Catholic Cuisine" apron!
CatholicEmbroidery.com, a special branch of Precision Embroidery LLC, was founded in 2007 as a family-owned and operated business in order to provide customers with high quality embroidery and monogramming. What started as a sewing hobby for the oldest daughters in our family has turned into an enterprise that, we hope, will continue to help provide for them as they work in a positive, Christ-centered fashion with a passion! Thank you for sharing in their endeavor.

One lucky visitor will win this beautiful Apron:


This navy blue apron is made of 100% cotton twill and features the Marian symbol of Our Lady topped with a cross. Durability is guaranteed and its heavy-duty construction with adjustable strap make it adaptable to any body type. Measures 26" by 26".



To enter this give-away:  Please leave a comment on this post before Midnight (PST) on Monday, September 7, 2009.   I will randomly draw a name and announce the winner on September 8th, the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary!


Be sure to visit Catholic Embroidery:  Mary Serafino, the founder of CatholicEmbroidery.com, in addition to sponsoring this awesome giveaway, has generously extended the following offer as well.
I would also like to offer your readers a coupon code, so everyone can walk away a "winner". If they use the coupon code: CATHOLICCUISINE I will give them FREE SHIPPING on any order. This coupon is valid until the feast of St. Michael, September 29th.

I've already placed an order for a few ribboned aprons which I am planning on giving my girls for Christmas. (As well as another one for myself!)   And they don't just carry aprons...  You can also purchase beautiful Bookmarks, Handkerchiefs, Totes, Mass bags, and so much more!

  3. I discovered your blog about a month ago, and have been thoroughly enjoying reading through the archives.

    Oddly, my sister recently posted on her blog that she considers an apron to be her "mommy uniform", and believes it makes her more efficient with her housework. I've been meaning to try the theory out for myself.
