autumn turned my frown upside down

i used to have the hardest time staying clean while i baked.



do you ever experience this frustration? it seemed to happen to me all the time, which made me very sad.



just when i thought i would have to give up baking forever, something happened to change my dismal future. i got a package in the mail that changed this face



into this face



can you see the difference? if you guessed it's the apron...YOU'RE RIGHT! i was quick enough to be one of the first three people to comment on autumn's "pay it forward" blog and this awesome apron is what she made especially for ME! isn't it so cute?



and it is so versatile. i will show you just a few of it's many fashion abilities. i can wear it like this



or this



or look at how much fun i can have showing off my sweet, innocent, little-girl-with-a-bow-on-the-front-of-her-dress look



or i can kick it up a notch on the sexy scale and go with something more like this, what, you gotta problem with that?



admit it, you're totally jealous. well, don't you worry...for just three easy installments of just $49.99 you too can have one of these "awesome autumn aprons", but not this one, no this AAA is all mine. i love it so much. even more than i love this bread



thanks autumn! it's amazing that after not being in the same room for probably more than 20 years, you can create a prize for me that is so perfect. all of my family members were very impressed. thanks for paying it forward.

Danelle..I am laughing so hard I'm crying!! You are hilarious! I had no idea how versatile that pattern can be! I think I might go into business! I'm so glad that you liked it and that your baking days have gone from :( to :) Hope you liked the retro/orange!
My gift to you doesn't come close to comparing to the one you sent me. I seriously love it!
Have a great week! Thanks for making my week with your awesome post!!

Okay I'm sitting here with the Shumway boys and this is the second time I've laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. LOVED the pic of you with the BOOBS. You know what I mean.

Everything about that post was sooooo you.....the cooking, the apron (so so darling by the way), the apron colors, the versatile ways to wear the apron...purely Danelle! You made me laugh as usual and then made me miss you! Move to AZ!

Okay so I have been checking out your blog ever since you left a message on mine. You are such a bright spot in so many peoples lives!!! You are just as funny and entertaining as always!!! You know you could even see if they would hire you back as the Patio with that there new apron. You have such a creative mind! I am jealous of my sister, getting to work with you so closely! That is quite a versatile apron it just took you to figure out all the fancy ways to wear it!

Brien and I appreciate the placement of your bread loaves and apron strings.
