Make it a more beautiful Monday

I’m kind of sad. 
I have NO entries in my massage giveaway that was supposed to end today at 5 pm.
If you’re a local reader and would like to be entered to win a 50 minute massage with the lovely Kim of FabUloUS salon,  please enter by following the directions on this post.
We only have a couple of weeks to reach our goal for Sophie and Clara,
so let’s make it count. 
They are beautiful girls, who will be turning ONE in days,
just like my own daughter. 
And they need some love.

In the meantime, watch AJH learning her first word…DOG.

And think of how you can help Sophie or Clara to someday do the same. 
LOVE.

Sorry for the confusion…
please disregard an “Ida Claire giveaway” post…
The giveaway was going to happen in September and fell though.
I accidentally hit “publish” as I was going through and organizing old blog posts. Ooops…
But…we will be announcing an AMAZING giveaway and fundraising opportunity with 2 Little Birdies later tonight, so stay tuned!!
Love, P
PS–don’t forget today is the last day for the Laurel Denise giveaway! Leave a comment on the original post if you want to be entered!

Make it Beautiful Monday: Dwell in Hope (giveaway for the girls)

January 24, 2011 2 Comments
Good Monday morning Make it Beautiful-ers! 
Are you ready…are you ready?

I am SO excited to announce that LAUREL DENISE is the designer for our first big giveaway for the Power of ONE fund for Clara and Sophie!

I was lucky enough to meet her at an art festival this fall and bought this pretty little necklace and this awesome print. She was the sweetest girl and super talented, to boot!
Laurel was kind enough to offer this beautiful necklace for our giveaway.
 Handmade from sterling silver featuring Laurel’s signature handwriting, this necklace says “dwell in hope.” The pendant size is approximately 0.5-inch x 0.5-inch and is shown on a 16-inch chain. $97 value.
  
I hope this piece will serve as a reminder to “dwell in hope” when things seem impossible. 
Where would I be without hope?
Where would you be?

Where would Clara and Sophie be? 
We must dwell in the hope that they WILL be adopted. Their lives WILL change. They WILL find a mommy and daddy to love them and kiss them and make their first birthdays special.

And if you want to help that day become a reality, please consider donating to their adoption funds to make it that much easier on their future forever family.

All you have to do to be entered to win this gorgeous necklace is donate to Clara or Sophie’s adoption funds (or both for double entries!) between now and Friday. If you’ve already donated, please consider donating again this week to be entered in this giveaway, even if it’s only a few dollars! I plan on having a new promotion each week between now and their first birthdays…so stay tuned!
To donate to Clara, click here.
To donate to Sophie, click here.
AND, as an extra special giveaway–all who donate $25.00 or more will receive a free “dwell in hope” print from Laurel’s Etsy shop!
 printed on 5″x7″ kraft paper
How it works:
1. Donate to Clara, Sophie, or both adoption funds between Monday, January 24th and Friday, January 28th at 5 pm. You get TWO entries if you donate to both funds, so let me know in your comment if you donated for one girl or both.
2. Leave a comment on THIS post after donating, telling me you donated to one girl or both. Only those that leave a comment will be eligible to win the necklace.
3.Get an extra entry in the giveaway for putting Sophie and Clara’s buttons on your blog. Please say in your comment if you do so, and you will be given an extra entry!
4 If you donate more than $25 to either/both funds, email Laurel with your name and address and you will be mailed a “dwell in hope” print.
5. A random commenter will be chosen as the winner of the “dwell in hope” necklace on Friday, January 28th at 5 pm EST.

Be sure to check out more from the talented Laurel Denise!

Please let me know if you have any questions and good luck!
