I decided I wanted to get in on the giveaway fun too so in addition to the J. Bee Designs Cookie Plate the winner this week will also win a Handmade by Leigh Anne holiday apron!

The apron will be made from these darling holiday fabrics…

…and will look something like this apron.  I’ll post a photo of the real thing once it’s done!

I am hoping this week’s cookie plate/apron giveaway will get you in the mood for the Virtual Holiday Cookie Exchange I will be kicking off next week.  More details the Monday after Thanksgiving!

I’m happy to introduce Jennie of J.Bee Designs:

“After graduating from Harcum college with a degree in interior design I always knew that I wanted to be involved with the textile portion of design.  Bringing my personal designs to life on glass and being able to share them on my own website has been a dream of mine for a long time.  I hope everyone enjoys all of my designs as much as I enjoy creating them.”
