Drabby to Fabby: Turn Thanksgiving Into Date Night!

Hey Ladies!

First, I want to announce the winner of the Drabby no Fabby Whoo Hoo Box Giveaway:




(There are 10 entries because 4 ladies have the DTF Button up and that earns an extra entry!)

Alissa over at Slightly More Than Dirt is the lucky winner! Congrats!!

Now on to this week's Drabby to Fabby Fun!

Michelle and Kortnie over at Quilt A Treasure have offered up some sexy aprons that will have your kitchen hot and steamy faster than you can say "Pop Up Timer!"

Imagine cooking a Thanksgiving Feast in one of these little numbers!



Yowzers! Your guests are sure to be raving about your apron all night!

Of course after your guests leave you can whip up some special dessert for the hubby wearing only the apron...hubba hubba!

DiPaola Momma recently shared her thoughts about these gorgeous Date Night aprons with me:

"Hell if I have to spend the whole day slaving away in the kitchen at least I can look HAWT in this little number! Okay so maybe more like hot and sweaty, exhausted and cranky, but hey it's not how you feel it's how you look and in this I'd look MAHVELOUS! I bet I'd even manage to FEEL purdy darn spiffy too!

Where ever do you find these things Cheesecake?"


Hehehe I'll never tell, Lara!

Here is the apron that is up for grabs!

It is called the Heat Wave!



This will keep things sizzling anywhere in the home!

Cooking and cleaning are never a fun part of my day, but I can honestly say that wearing one of these aprons would sprinkle on some excitement! I mean, how could you not feel Fantastically Fabby wearing one of these?? Not to mention looking oh-so-FAB while entertaining!
