How Splendid!

I recently discovered this spendiferous blog: Dear Lizzy and her equally amazing website: Something Splendid

And just today I came across a wonderful giveaway! Ruby Jean is giving away a class of your choice from Something Splendid! How delightful is that?!?! Just go HERE to enter!

I couldn't be more excited! <3

Japan

I would like to do my part to help the people of Japan, and you can help!

I will donate 35% of Sales for all orders placed between now and the end of April 15th to the Red Cross, specifically to their Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund. (I would like you to know, that does not mean 35% of my profit after subtracting what I spent on the items initially, that just does not seem right to me. I will donate 35% of the subtotal that you see at checkout when you place your order!) From the American Red Cross website: "Your gift to the American Red Cross will support our disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters."

Social Goodies

Social Goodies is a new site that will be opening in May. They will offer you " the ability to purchase one amazing deal each day from a national retailer for up to 70% off face value" and the best part is they will then "donate 20% of every purchase to your choice of one of our wonderful featured charity partners".

So you get a great deal, AND 20% of what you spend goes to a great cause! Sounds like a win-win to me!

Also for a limited time they are having an awesome contest. Every day between March 22-26, 2011 they will be giving away 20 $50 Target gift cards! AND for every person that enters to win, they will donate $1.00 to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund. So even if you don't win, you're still helping a great cause. There is no excuse not to do it!
