What do your apron pockets hold?

Strut your stuff in your aprons. We want to see pictures!

*** ATTENTION***
To participate in the fun there are a few wee things we ask you to do:

This blog-a-thon will run for 6 weeks.

It will begin on Monday 4/7/08 and run until 5/7/08!

What we are going to do is this.

Everyone that participates in the blog-a-thon will put a link in their posts for that weeks blog-a-thon theme entry to Mary Jane's Farm.(http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/)
(A simple wording like this at the end of your posts will work: "To share with other farm girls and to learn about the Farm Girl way of life visit: http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/ ")
Each week of the "blog-a-thon" will have a Farmgirl theme for the week.

To participate:
You will need to leave a comment here(on each week's theme announcement page)
to let me know that you have posted an entry pertaining to the weeks theme...and that you have posted a link back to Mary Jane's Farm on your blog.

***at the end of the blog-a-thon I will be drawing a name for a surprise package"***

---Let's cultivate our "inner farm girl"And be proud to say "I'm a Farm girl..or "I'm a Farm girl at heart".

Let's Do It Girls!!
