Contests

Aprons are back in a big way! Not only are they practical when it comes to staying clean and dry in the kitchen, doing housework, even giving your kids a bath, they’re hot! I mean have you seen all the flirty aprons out there?

This is my favorite apron because it’s the only one I have.

(Hey, this picture isn’t bad when you consider my four yr. old took it.) I love my apron because it’s pink, it’s pretty and it’s made out of oil cloth. The oil cloth wipes clean, and water and splatters don’t soak through.

I wouldn’t mind having a sexy apron like this from Carolyn’s Kitchen though.

Comfort Joy Designs is giving one away. Head on over to enter and win.

This week Swag is featuring Stella Rocco. You’ll find pretty Tees and Tops for women with modern botanical designs at Stella Rocco’s on line store.

I came across Stella Rocco a few months ago and the simple, elegant artwork on the shirts caught my eye right away. Owner Dina says the designs she and her sister create are inspired by, “Beautiful flowers and patterns found in nature.”

Stella Rocco first launched in 2004. “I wanted to create a line of modern & comfortable tees with original
artwork.  I started with four nature-inspired designs created by myself and my sister, and a website. We named the business after my sister’s dogs,” says Dina.

Dina says hearing from happy customers is the most rewarding part about running Stella Rocco. “It is wonderful to get feedback from people who like the designs we created!”

Dina sent me the Orchids short sleeve Tee in coffee to try out it. It was just as lovely as the photos on the website. And the fabric was so soft and comfy. A Stella Rocco Tee will quickly become one of your favorite things in your closet.

Win It!

Stella Rocco is offering one lucky reader the chance to win the Orchids Cap Sleeve Top in coffee (medium brown). The neckline has a wide scoop.  The fabric is a super soft lightweight cotton with slightly metallic gold flowers and a dark brown stem. Retail value is $28.00.

Il Divo Giveaway

December 1, 2008 · 120 comments

I’ve got something fun to give away just in time for Christmas. Il Divo’s The Christmas Collection album and the deluxe CD/DVD version of their brand new album The Promise. This would make a perfect gift for the music lover on your Christmas list. Or maybe you want to just keep them both to enjoy for yourself.

This POPera group has a unique sound that brings a contemporary influence to their operatic style. You may think opera isn’t your thing, but give Il Divo a chance before you write them off.

The Christmas album features classics like O Holy Night, White Christmas and Silent Night. The songs are beautifully performed, and have a very peaceful, serene quality about them. Like standing outside on a moonlit Christmas Eve as the snow falls silently around you.

The Promise features some well-known songs as well, The Power of Love, She and Amazing Grace. It doesn’t disappoint either. The songs are sung in Spanish, Italian and English. Their voices blend well and they bring depth and emotion to music.

You can pre-order your own copy of Il Divo’s The Promise or purchase their Christmas album from Amazon.

Win It!

One reader will win a copy of each of these albums. To enter just leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. Dec 7th.
