Amaze me August #25~ Fabulously Domestic APRON giveaway ~

WELCOME to the 25th edition of AMAZE ME AUGUST!
I've literally been hosting this party for half a year now, and also blogging for half a year. I am AMAZED that I have been able to keep this going, every week, no matter what. I am very proud of myself, and I look forward to sharing many more of these wonderful days with all of you. 


Today I have a FANTASTIC giveaway lined up for all of you. This gal, has been so wonderful to work with. She created a custom special order for the giveaway, and was so sweet about the whole process. I can only imagine if you were placing an order, how awesome she would be in creating the PERFECT piece for you. I am so happy to introduce you to my friend today. 


Please welcome AMBROSIA, the creator of the fabulous shop:





You can visit her blog 
FABULOUSLY DOMESTIC
She is also super mommy to a house full of boys. Check out her other blog too-
FOR THE LUV OF BOYS
Here is what she had to say about being here today!



I'm Ambrosia, creator of Fabulously Domestic!  I am so excited to be featured by Bella here at Bella Before and After!  For the most part, I'd say I'm just a mom.  You know, three wild and crazy boys ages 8, 6, and 3 - with maybe another kiddo or two in our future. I'm crazy busy with school and sports activities, playdates, appointments with the doctors, homework, cooking, cleaning - like pretty much everyone else!  But when I do get a free moment to myself (meaning, when I ignore the housework!!!), I love to sew!  I've just recently started teaching myself to sew and I can't get enough of it.  My favorite items to design and make are aprons - there are just so many ways to make a utilitarian item like an apron turn from boring to fabulous!  It really helps my mood when I'm washing the dishes or cooking a meatloaf if I can actually look cute doing it!  So that's where the idea of Fabulously Domestic came from.  I thought that maybe other women would like to have a bright, cheery - even sexy apron to wear while doing the daily duties we so dread.  I also make cute baby items, with more coming to my etsy shop this week!  I hope you like what Fabulously Domestic has to offer - it's become my girly escape in a life full of BOYS!!!

Giveaway includes:  two identical kitchen towels - they are folded in thirds and tie on with zebra straps.  One zebra/turquoise reversible apron.  Zebra side features a pocket which can be personalized with a rhinestone initial.  Apron reverses to solid black and displays the zebra print Fabulously Domestic label!

THANK YOU SO MUCH AMBROSIA!!


Are you guys ready to see this fabulous APRON, and TOWEL set?
It's beautiful that's all I have to say, I love it!!!
Tell me this isn't cool? I love the pattern, the colors, and that pocket. Which you can personalize with rhinestone initial. Are you kidding, AWESOME!!!!

In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and baking. In fact my mother and I have been making cakes for over 30 years. I also love gardening, traveling, and all things crafty. I struggle daily to keep my like organized, along with my never ending battle to keep the house clean. I adore my three kids MOST of the time, and can usually be found doing the mom thing from morning till night. I try to catch a few mommy moments, but those are hard to find in this wonderful life of mine. I am blessed and happy, and am thrilled you stopped by today :)
