Today, March 11th, we are Giving Away... (PRIZES CLAIMED)


A Chic Apron and Swim Diaper Cover from Olive Jane Designs

If you’re going to be working hard in the kitchen, why not look cute doing it? Olive Jane Designs is here to help with their very hip aprons. The talented seamstress behind Olive Jane Designs loves her work and it shows in the quality of her products.


My daughter owns this adorable and high-quality skirt from Olive Jane Designs. Each time my daughter wears it I can’t quit looking at her throughout the day and thinking, “That is one of the cutest skirts I have ever seen on her!” I love it!

And today you have the opportunity to win some of Olive Jane Designs' products. The first is a darling apron:


It is made from 100% pre-shrunk cotton. It is very flattering, functional, and even sexy! So in other words, watch out ladies, your man will want more than dinner when he comes through the door and sees you in one of Olive Jane Designs' aprons.

The second product you can enter to win today is a swim diaper cover:


Olive Jane Designs' swim diaper covers are worn OVER a regular swim diaper. Due to an outbreak of cryptosporidium last year, almost all of the public swimming pools in our area make children ages three and under wear a swim diaper PLUS another plastic diaper over the top. At our local pool plastic white swim diaper cover-ups are $8.00. They’re just plastic, and boring. So why not purchase a cute diaper cover-up? You can even have your child wear a rash guard on his or her upper body and one of Olive Jane Designs' swim diaper covers over the swim diaper on his or her lower body. WA-LA: you have double diapered your child AND you have a swimsuit all in one.

ATTENTION: Olive Jane Designs is giving FREE SHIPPING (Yay!) to the readers of Give Away Today. In the notes upon check out you need to enter the code “giveawaytoday” and then Olive Jane Designs will refund the shipping through Paypal—it’s the only way that the Etsy/Paypal combo will allow Olive Jane Designs to do it. But hey, we’ll take free shipping any way we can get it, right ladies (and gents).

Each person can enter to win the stylish apron or swim diaper cover from Olive Jane Designs up to THREE times today.

For one entry leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry visit Olive Jane Designs’ website here. Look at all of their darling products and then come back to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and one of Olive Jane Designs’ products that you wish you owned.
Example: Jane Doe: Blue Harlequin Waterproof Diaper Cover

For a third entry I thought it would be fun to learn about our reader’s most embarrassing moments. In a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and one of your most embarrassing moments (your embarassing moment does not have to be pool or swimming-related).
Example: Jane Doe: When I was in eighth grade my dad took me and my best friend swimming with a youth group of about twenty boys (we were the only girls who got to go). That morning I snuck into my sister’s room and grabbed one of her swimsuits to wear. My friend and I had a great time swimming. Afterwards we jumped out of the pool and began talking (and flirting) with the boys. My friend quickly suggested we go to the dressing room. As we were walking away my friend told me to look down. When wet, the swimming suit had become completely see-through!! My sister had discovered this too and wore it only when laying out. This was a hard way to learn that I shouldn’t wear my sister’s clothes without asking.

The winner of the great products from Olive Jane Designs will be announced tomorrow, March 12th. Please visit us then to see if you are one of our winners and to check out the new giveaway for the day. Thanks!

Shauna K Brown: One of my most embarassing moments was when I was about 13 I had climbed up our tree in the back yard. When I tried to get down my shirt got caught on a branch and pulled it off as I came down out of the tree. Only my little sister saw (that I know of)but it was pretty embarassing!

Bobette said...

Bobette Davis: My most embarrassing moment is actually swimming related. I went on a trip to Lake Powell with my basketball team in High School. We were going for a ride in the boat, I was sitting in the front of the boat and my coach was driving. A big gust of wind came and my swimming top went flying down with it. I rushed to put it back on, but was mortified!

auntrene said...

One of my most embarassing moments ever was when I was at work in a local pizzeria. A Very popular place, extremely busy. I sometimes would let my brain lapse and the mouth to continue on. My job was to wait on the customers at the counter who were about 4 or 5 people across and 4 or 5 people deep. I walk up to the first customer Wanting to Say"Can I help You?" but much to my dismay the brain froze and the mouth talked and said "Will You Buy Me?" I have no idea why, none what so ever. Of all the things I could of said to a man with a $20 bill in his hand.. Can you buy me was not a good choice. Luckily his reply was good, Sure, but I didn't know it was this kind of place. (More Embarassment) then he says But Can I get my Pizza first I have a wife and 2 kids at home waiting.
Yeah Sure,,,, Let me Crawl over there and get it from the oven, and please don't look at my red face.
Too Funny!!!
Have Fun, Great Giveaway.

Tori Stephens: When i was in College I was going to do a double blind date with my friend. We lived in provo and they lived in bountiful so we decided to meet in slc and go from there. After meeting the guys and deciding to go to dinner we decided to jump in my dates truck which was huge. In the process of getting in his truck i lifted up my leg to try and step in the truck with out having to jump and the whole croach of my pants ripped from the middle all the way to my right knee. there was no way of hiding it and my friend blurted out oh my gosh i can see your underwear. So we spent the next 30min with his jacket wraped around my waist and trying to find me new pants. Needless to say i never talked to him again i avoided his calls i was so embarassed.

Michelle McClure : Hmmm which one? One time I was driving with my very ahem...aggressive driver cousin who was swerving in and out of traffic, cutting people off, and NOT USING a blinker. After almost losing my lunch and wetting my pants I saw a marquee sign that read "click it or ticket" (no picture words only). When I saw this I said(loudly), "Hey! Trent! Didn't you see that sign? Click it or ticket man! Use your blinker man!!!" Well, needless to say I was 100 shades of red when he told my husband, his wife, and everyone we know OVER AND OVER how silly my mistake was. I guess I forgot it meant to buckle up. Oh, well.

Katharine Yuan: During a test in fourth grade, I sneezed into my hand and got a handful of snot. I didn't want to ask the teacher if I could get up to clean up my nose so I held my hand to my nose until the test was over! Everyone at my table definitely noticed, I was better off excusing myself to clean up!

My story IS about a swimming pool! Before I got married I went swimming with my husband's family. I had borrowed my sister in law's suit. I dove into the pool and then began talking to my brother in law and a friend who were on the pool deck. They were adverting their eyes and acting funny and I couldn't figure out why. Then my brother in law leaned down and whispered "You may want to check yourself." I looked down and I had ahem.....literally popped out of the suit! I was so mortified! I even blush thinking about it!

Rebecca Wattleworth: When I was in the 6th grade, I sat down on the floor with my whole class to do singing. As I bent to sit down (in the second to last row) I accidentally passed gas REALLY loud. Everybody in the front rows turned around to see who did it. I didn't know what to do, so I turned around too. Everybody blamed and teased the boy right behind me, even though he kept denying it! I felt terrible, but too embarrassed to admit it was me!

When I was twelve we were in a car ride from Idaho to SLC and we made a stop at a rest stop. I took in my 8 year old sister to use the facilities. We walked past the mens sign and so we went in thte next entry with out looking. I put her in one stall, me in a another. I heard her got out and a man tell her she was in the wrong bathroom. She went outside the bathrrom adn I waited in the stall until it was quiet then ran out. I told her never to tell anyone, and we pretended it never happened. I guess each bathroom has two entries on each side of the buidling, who knew??!!

Mona Orvig: This is possibly your toughest question so far, because, oh my, there are so many. How can I choose just one?

How about the time I was co-hosting a convention--with guests from more than one continent. A couple of days before the convention, I decided to do something about my gray, and it turned out a color that can only be called burgandy.

Now, I've seen teenagers with burgandy hair, and it's cute. I'm a few decades beyond a teenager. It wasn't cute. I had fun anyway.

I ended up almost passing out at a table and had to have my husband come pick me up because I was so dizzy and sick to my stomach. Later I found out that 3 of my tables thought I was drunk {never had a drink in my life} I'm still hearing it at work even though I had a mild concusson from my head injury!

It was at a wedding. I went to the ladies room and didn't realize that my split dress the back half was tucked into my girdle. I walked through the entire room like that. So glad 10 minutes later someone told me.

I said "Hi, I haven't met you yet, my name is Tiana." He replied, "Actually, we have met, in fact I took you out on a date once." Oops. He told me when it had been (in high school), I vaguely remembered. Felt like a heel.
