1 YR Anniversary WINNER...

CONGRATULATIONS, Brenda of Phydeaux / Phydelle, who said that her favorite piece is the Pink Tangle necklace! Brenda gets to select any item of her choice from eNVe Designs! Thank you for all your entries!

I'll be back later to announce the winner of my customer appreciation giveaway.

Another Quickie!

Hi everyone!

In case you're following the baby news, little Kaili is finally here, turning our family of 3 into 4!!! She was born last Tuesday and we're all happy and healthy. I'll be back soon with pictures to share.

Thanks to those of you who offered best wishes, wonderful thoughts, and speedy labor vibes! :)

Also, I am supposed to draw a winner for my 1 year anniversary giveaway today, but am postponing it until sometime later this week. So for you late-comers, you can still sneak in your entries. I don't know when the drawing will happen, but I'll accept all entries up to the point I do the drawing. Click on the cupcake to your left. Good luck!

Hope you had a great weekend! Happy Monday!

A couple of reminders...

Just a couple of quick reminders:

Today is the last day to take advantage of my Mother's Day special!

One week left to enter my charity giveaway for the American Liver Foundation. There will be 3 winners of $30 gift certificates each. Deadline is the 15th!

On the horizon, 2 giveaways:

My customer appreciation giveaway, for those who have supported eNVe Designs and supported my charities via my Blue to Beautiful campaign this past year. All who have purchased or donated through the end of this month are entered to win $50 to spend in my etsy shop or on envedesigns.com (plus an extra surprise...because I love surprises)!

My 1 year anniversary giveaway!!! Celebrating the first year of eNVe Designs. You won't want to miss it.

Events are slightly delayed on account of my baby being due next week. So if you don't hear from me again for a few weeks, you'll know why. But I'll be back with baby pics to share and jewels to give away! :) In the meantime, please check out my brand new pieces and new Signature Design styles on www.envedesigns.com. I'd love to hear any feedback you might have.

And HAPPY (early) MOTHER'S DAY to all you fabulous moms out there!

Just in time!

Swinging Amethyst ($25)

It's official, www.envedesigns.com is now finally stocked with fresh new items for spring and summer! And just in time for Mother's Day (quickly approaching). And being so occupied and on a mission with updating my site, I almost forgot that tomorrow is my 1 year Etsy-versary and May marks my 1 year anniversary of launching envedesigns.com! The intersection of all these happenings is certainly cause for celebration... all week long... and perhaps through next week!

First up is my Mother's Day Deal:

10% off your purchase
and
FREE Priority Shipping on all orders (within U.S.)

Just mention "for mom" in message to seller during checkout. Valid in either my etsy shop or on envedesigns.com. Good now through Friday 5/8/09. If you want the package to arrive in time for mother's day, please place your order before Wednesday the 6th.

I'm also having a customer appreciation giveaway ($50 gift certificate) for everyone who has ever placed an order with eNVe Designs through the end of this May. If you've ordered from me, you're automatically entered so no one needs to do anything. New customers ordering through the end of this month will also be entered. The winner will be drawn at random and announced on my blog the first week of June.

I'm also planning an anniversary giveaway for everyone else so that will be announced here as well so keep your eyes peeled!

In the meantime, you can enter my charity raffle to win one of three $30 gift certificates to my shop. It just requires a one dollar donation. And there are ample opportunities for free bonus entries. Entry in the charity raffle will also get you bonus entries in my next giveaway. For more info, just scroll down to the post below this one. It's for a worthwhile cause and it would mean so much to me and to those affected by liver disease. And thank you all who have already supported our fundraising efforts! We wouldn't have made it so close to our goal without your help!

Happy Monday and don't forget to show your mom some love this week!

How far can ONE DOLLAR BILL go?

Turn your crinkly dollar into shiny new jewelry and help a great cause at the same time!

As some of you already know, my husband is a member of the Run For Research marathon team and had just completed the Boston Marathon this past Monday! With that major feat behind us, we still have yet another feat of closing the gap toward our fundraising goal for the American Liver Foundation. This year has been tougher on fundraising efforts due to the current state of the economy, so we're incredibly grateful for all the generous support we've received already. And if you currently have one dollar hanging out in your couch cushions, you can still help out! :)

Your one dollar can go a very long way! You can't even buy a decent cup of coffee with one dollar these days, but today, your dollar can make a huge difference! By donating it to our Run-Alex-Run fundraiser for the American Liver Foundation, your dollar will go toward funding vital research that can ultimately save the lives of those afflicted by liver disease.

AND... that same dollar will also go toward your entry into my giveaway! I'll be raffling off THREE eNVe Designs gift certificates in the amount of $30 each. All it takes is your one dollar donation.

Here's how to enter the drawing (A and B are required to enter):

A) Make your donation at www.run-alex-run.com (in any desired amount)
>>> $1 = 1 entry
B) Come back here and post a comment. You must include:

your name (as it appears on the donation)
your donation amount (to verify # of entries)
your email (so I can contact you if you win)
and mention any bonus entries (see below)

Bonus entries (optional):

C) Make any purchase from my Etsy shop (# additional entries = dollar amount of purchase); for the duration of this final fundraiser, I'm donating 100% of my shop proceeds to run-alex-run, so you can help a great cause and add to your spring/summer wardrobe!
D) (5 additional entries) Blog about this charity raffle with a link to this blog post and a link to www.run-alex-run.com; be sure to include your blog link in your comment here so I can verify.
E) (1 additional entry per tweet) Tweet about this charity raffle as many times as you'd like until the day of the drawing; be sure to include your twitter username so I can verify.

Winners will be announced here on
Friday May 15
