Please note: April of Zinny Lou Totes who sponsored last week’s giveaway has graciously offered a $5.00 discount off each tote ordered between now and Christmas! Thank you April!
This week we have our third Buy Handmade Giveaway!
Jennie from J. Bee Designs is sponsoring this week’s giveaway with one of her darling handpainted holiday plates. Perfect for those holiday cookies you will be baking soon! Be sure and check out Jennie’s website and her darling handpainted glassware!
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.”

The giveaway will be open until midnight PST, Friday, November 28, 2008

Love the plate and would really love the apron. Please throw my name in the hat and I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing so much holiday spirit.
What a cute plate and apron pattern! I love to bake and cook so I would put them both to good use! Thanks!
I don’t even own an apron, but I would proudly wear one of Leigh Anne’s. And the plate could even motivate me to bake some cookies!
I am so in need of a new apron, that is so so so cute. The plate also would come in handy with holiday baking.
So cute! Love the plate and apron. Hoping the cute little figure comes with the apron if I win
Your posts are always so upbeat and cheerful! Thanks for introducing us to such talented and creative people.
