I told ya something cool was up. Welcome to the Donna Reed Diva’s Contest.
Be honest, you love those old reruns of Donna Reed, Mrs. Cleaver, and the rest. If the truth be known you would stick your feet in some red pumps, tie on a string of pearls and attach an apron to your waist and swish around the kitchen, deftly preparing chocolate layer cakes and large glasses of cold milk.
Yeah you would. Except that your husband would think you had lost your mind. Or, well I don’t think Dharm would, or any of the guys who hang out here.
Anyway.
Starting TODAY, October 13, 2007 Baking Delights is hosting a fantabulous apron contest for my fantabulous readers. It will run for TWO weeks, ending at midnight CST October 29, 2007. (It’s a Monday because I don’t normally post on Sundays)
Intrigued, aren’t you?
This is the prize, and what a cool prize it is. A reversible Christmas apron by Lee Ann of Annie’s Attic . How cool is this?
Can ya picture yourself stirring up those delectable holiday treats, with the recipes you found here of course, wearing this? Mmmhmm.
Contest Rules
Yeah, you knew there would be.
1. For every comment left (starting today, with a valid email) on Baking Delights you get one entry.
2. For every comment left, linking to a blog post you did telling about the contest and linking to it (you can snag the picture, cause it IS cool) you get one entry.
3. For every comment left linking to your blog post that includes a picture of a cookie, cake, bread or pie recipe that you have made from this site you get two entries.
** For the sake of clarity..You can get 2 entries for making a recipe PLUS 2 entries for posting about the contest (if you send me the link in both cases) PLUS an entry EVERY time you leave a relevant comment.
4. At noon cst on Tuesday, October 30, All of the entries will be put in a large antique wooden kneading bowl and Kyrie will draw ONE name. Kyrie is 4 and she can;t read yet so this is a very fair contest.
So, it is as easy to enter as you like, you can pick your own difficulty level. Once the winner is named they have 2 days to contact me, or another winner will be announced. I want to have the apron in your hands by Thanksgiving so you can amaze your friends with your really cool retro-Donna -Reed-Diva ‘tude.
I TOLD you it was going ot be fun!
Oh, please enter me! I just discovered Annie’s Attic today. ADORABLE!!!

HAH!
I AM the ultimate retro-housewife wannabe. The keyword there, of course, is “wannabe”. I’ll never be able to pull it off. I don’t have the hairstyle for it. (Sorry, but I didn’t inherit that Dippity-Do and Aqua Net users gene from my mother. Pity, I know.)
But, I’m all about trying. I can’t step into my kitchen without putting an apron on, but frankly, I get a little sick of my boring, black apron. So, I’m going to amend my contest post to include this, and hope I win. Cause looking the part is almost as good as being it.

What a cute apron! I’d love to put that to good use. No heels though, sorry–my feet can’t take them.
