STAY TUNED WHILE I TABULATE ENTRIES.
*************************************************************
Please forgive me of my first blog hiccup.
I wanted this post out to celebrate Earth Day and… well…
I kinda missed the mark. However, since we can always use a reminder to conserve our resources and reduce our waste I’m going to go ahead with it anyway.
Better late than never.

Annie over at Annies-eats.net is my food blog mentor. (she might know this due to the frequency in which I comment and visit her site.) She has an amazing blog and someday when my blog grows up, I want it to be just like hers - beautiful, helpful and full of posts that make people smile.
Since I began following annies-eats.net, she has hosted a self-sponsored giveaway on Earth Day. Chic and Classy – who wouldn’t want to be apart of that? Sure I’m only out of the food blogging gates a week (hence the tardiness of this post) but I really wanted to do this too, so here it is...
... Apron Appeal’s first giveaway!
4 Reusable Grocery Bags
(Made by yours truly that all look exactly like this)
About The Bags:
They are patterned after my favorite grocery bag from Target.
They are lined with a light blue fabric (so you can see what is inside each bag).
They have no raw seams or exposed over-locked thread edges.
They have huge gussets on the bottom so you can really fill these puppies up.
They can be machined washed & dried with whichever heat setting you feel necessary.
They come to you pre-washed
They are constructed so you’ll never have to worry about your bag tearing under the weight of your groceries again! J
The giveaway is open until Noon on Friday, April 29, 2011 and the winner will be chosen randomly out of “a hat” (There really isn’t a hat, it’s just a computer program that picks one winner at random but we’ll call it a hat, because it’s shorter).

Well I love your blog its great and I do follow you on facebook, thank you for some of your inspirations help me in the kitchen in this crazy house of mine :) Happy Easter Annie
I love the bags its such a wicked cool idea
Good luck with the blog! Love the patterned bags, and REALLY appreciate the Earth Day shout out. You have actually inspired me to be more environmentally conscience with what I eat. Ever since I heard you talk about buying shares in a cow I've been drinking organic milk and trying to do things more organically. Maybe one day I'll be up for going in for the cow with you!...but I don't like butter in my milk! =)
I'm the first to comment!! Does that get me an extra entry? :)
Those are beautiful! I would be proud to use those. :-) I like that they are washable too. I bought 2 really nice bags to use for groceries and the next day they had the story on the news about all the germies on reusuable bags and the bags I got would be a pain to sanitize so I ended up not using them as I had intended. :-/
Love the bags!
Hmmmm, favorite thing to grow in my garden...herbs. The squirrels don't eat them so I actually get something out of them (unlike my tomatoes and zucchini).
The bags look great!
I realize I have contributed significantly to the disposable diapers in landfills over the past 21 months with my twins...but I do strive to help the earth by recycling. We recycle plastic, cans, aluminum cans, paper, cardboard, magazines & glass. It's amazing how much of that we accumulate!! Oh- and I love reusable bags:)
So cute! What a great idea! :)
I think the bags are great!
These bags are wonderful. Some of the ways I try and do my part to conserve are recycling everything I can (especially all of the magazines I read), taking shorter showers, turning off lights, and washing larger loads of laundry.
I became a fan of your Facebook page.
I am now following you - wow, that sound creepy - but you know what I mean :)
I love earth day and anything that helps our planet. Everyone should be using a bag they bring from home and stop using the plastic ones!!
I am a fan of ApronAppeal on FB
I am a follower. Congratulations, Kele Wassum
You are now following Apron Appeal
What darling bags!!! I'd love to win (and be much more chic in the grocery store :)).
I'm a new FB fan~
I'm a new follower~
That is a lot of comments for a week plus old blog! I would love some cute reusable bags - maybe if they are cute I will be more likely to remember them!!
That did make me feel better! :)
These are beautiful bags. Thanks for the giveaway.

Love the bags Gwen. Great job. If I hada garden I think I would be in the mood to plant tulips. I've been seeing a lot of those at the hospital lately. However y favorite flowers are calla lillies. Nice blog
Cute bags! They look great to take to the farmer's market.

I love shopping with reuseable bags and these are adorable!
I love the reusable shopping bags! It is a great way to stay resourceful. Your blog is great as well. Keep up the good work. You are your way to something great.
The bags look cute!
Cute new blog Gwen! Love the bag idea!
We are try to use less paper. We don't get a paper anymore, or magazines. We view them online only now. We also grow a salad garden. I like knowing where my food comes from, and I love the Food Network!

I'm a fan on facebook now, and am a follower of the blog. I've got some bananas that will be ready in a couple of days that will be going into those banana muffins. Can't wait to make them.
Reusable grocery bags are something I always think to purchase (or make) but never do. Would totally love these!!
great bags - would love to win
I'm a fan on facebook, follow your blog as well. And I could totally use some reusable bags that are this cute (let's face it, the only time I have in public these days is grocery shopping, and my purchased groceries should look good) ... looking forward to more recipes, I'm loving your site!!
These are amazing! I am making changes to my lifestyle to be more green, and am currently in the market for reusable bags. (I got one on E-Day from Disney!) Even if I don't win, I may have to bribe you for the pattern. =)
Now following you on FB =)
And, finally, now following via GFC!
Gwenevere, thank you soooooo much for the link! It does indeed work, and I'm very excited about trying this one out. Much appreciated! =)
those are some great looking bags and would be a lot more fashionable than the reusable ones that I use now with my banks name on them! LOL
You are so talented! Can I be like you!! And yes it would be nice to just be able to plant anything at this point!!!
Oh please Lisa, apples and oranges. Your cakes, yard and clean house leave me wishing I could do more. :)
Gwen, have you been busy! What an amazing, fun feat your blog is. I love cooking and recycling and try to plant a few vegetables every summer before they inevitably get run down by weeds or pulled by my eager children who try to "help" me weed. Congratulations!
Ummmmm......I have attempted a garden in the past and it didnt go so well. I love the Earth... but always forget the reusable bags (until I am at the checkout stand). I love disposable diapers. I DO recycle!! Can I still win the bags?? I promise I will use them!! :) great blog!
if this international??
if it Im in!!
thanks so much, this bags area awesome. i love hte pattern and coloring!
Maybe if you start blogging about a famous chef you too can one day have a hollywood movie made up about you:-)
Wow your bags are great! I'd love to win! Thanks so much for a chance!
Like you on facebook! Thanks again!
Love your blog! Thanks for letting me know about it. The bags look way super cute and professional. Are you planning on making/selling them? I'd be very tempted to buy a few (even if my name is the one randomly drawn from a "hat").
I am terrified to plant a garden. Our new home has a section already set aside for a garden and I just don't know if I can motivate myself to plant anything. Although, it would be nice to have fresh from the garden zucchini, squash, and tomatoes.
Thanks for the heads up about your blog! Love it! Love those bags, I need to be better about using my own!
