Today's the Day

My laundry: video taken on a sunny day, which is NOT today (but you get the idea).

The skies may be cloudy and the sun barely visible but my clean clothes are hanging in honor of National Hang Out Day. If it takes them until tomorrow to be dry enough to bring inside, so be it. That'll work for me.

Clothespin apron drawing is tonight!

Good Luck to everyone who submitted their names for the drawing.

How about a contest?


As I mentioned in my previous post, I learned about a day created to celebrate hanging laundry outside to dry:

 Every year, on April 19th, Project Laundry List joins together with hundreds of organizations from around the country to educate communities about energy consumption. National Hanging Out Day was created to demonstrate how it is possible to save money and energy by using a clothesline.

Because I think this is a great idea I've decided to spread the news by creating a contest to give away the clothespin apron pictured in my March 25th post. From now until April 19th I will accept entries in one of two ways: though becoming a fan of Yo Momma's Apron Strings on my facebook page or by posting a comment on my Apron Strings blog.

All you have to do on either site is post a comment. On facebook you first become a fan of Yo Momma's Apron Strings and then "Share" by mentioning something about the contest. On my blog you will need to post a comment under my contest entry post (dated March 26). I will keep both sites updated and use them to announce the winner. In the event the winner is not within delivery distance, I will cover all shipping charges. There is absolutely no cost to the winner other than participation on one of my web pages.

For lack of being able to think of a more creative method, my plan is to write each entry on a separate piece of paper, stash them in a hat(?) for safekeeping,  and draw one lucky winner on April 19th. If I can get my act together and find a person willing to hold my camera, I will post a video of the event. Sounds like fun to me!

Enter as many times as you'd like and tell your friends and don't forget to spread the word about National Hanging Out Day and this opportunity to win a clothespin apron.
