Jenae

who said

Glad I found your blog and learned about TwinkleBee and Apron Shop, I sure hope I win an adorable rag quilt! I was just admiring someone's last night, dreaming of it for my new little baby boy.

I am assuming Jenae,
that you want one for a boy,
but please let me know if I am wrong.
I will get with Holly Doll,
and let her know what you want.
(Who am I kidding,
spoken to her twice on the phone
just this morning,
and going to meet her at Target in an hour.)
So we're slightly inmeshed,
whatever
She'll whip one up for you.


Please email me your address at

andrea.price1@comcast.net

and if you have a blog,
let us know what it is
so we can check it out.

And come back to see Twinkle Bee and Handi Andi!

Gift Basket Numero Dos

Holly has graciously agreed
to donate one of her rag quilts
for the Gift Basket today.


She said that if you win,
you can choose one
for a boy,
or
for a girl.


This basket will be fabulous!
How could it not be
with The Holly Doll in charge?


How talented is my sister Holly?
You have no idea.

Seriously.

She makes stuff up all the time.
and while I smile and nod,
I am ashamed to admit,
sometimes I don't catch the vision.


Like the time that she was sewing place mats together
to make a table runner.

What?


And then she shows me the finished product
and I wonder
how the heck she thought that stuff up
Much less actually created it.

And then I instantly want to rip it off
and make one for me,
because it is just that cool.



She is one of the original creators of Twinkle Bee.
And you better believe
that she has her hand in almost every pot.
She helps me make aprons.
She helps Caitlin make bracelets.
She makes all kinds of quilts.
She helps run and update the website,
and she personally created the apron shop,
and put all the pictures on there.




Holly
affectionately known as Holly Doll,
or just Doll
is my younger sister by 21 months.
But you would think she was my older sister
because she is way more responsible
way more organized
and way more on top of her game than I am.
She is married to Cory


Who is the smartest, hardest workin nurse
I ever did meet.
Two full time nursing jobs at seperate Hospitals, and school.
He is my husbands best friend.
It worked out good that way.

Holly was into sucking people's blood
way before
it was as cool as it is now that Edward does it.
She is a senior tech and Phlebotomy Supervisor
at American Fork Hospital.
She has worked there longer than I have known
what a full time job is.

Her other full time job is
Princess B


otherwise known as her 3 almost 4 yr old
Brynley.

Bryn has earned the title of Princess.
She had a feeding tube until 6 months
Open Heart Surgery at 10 months
Cancer at 18 months
and too many tests and scans since.

And because Holly not only survived this
But has thrived...
She has earned the title
of Queen Bee
in this Twinkle Bee hive.

You want to win this blanket and other goodies in the basket.
I promise.
They make great shower gifts or birthday gifts,
even if you don't have a baby in your house right now!

Holly also takes custom orders
and has a CRAZY huge array of fabrics.
You want it, she can make it,
and it will turn out even better than you thought it would.
I can promise you that!
