Today is National Pi(e) Day!

Happy National Pi Day!

Yes, today is a special day to celebrate the mathematical pi or π. As described by Wikipedia:

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (or 3/14 in month/day date format), since 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form.

It goes on to say that March 14 was actually designated as Pi Day by Congress!

The national pie industry didn't hesitate to jump on the band wagon, and launched their own National Pie Day.

In honor of both Pi and Pie Day, today I feature a products with both, separate and together! At the end of this post are some details on today's sale.

Whichever type of pi/e you prefer, have a good one!

It's Not All Business

Zazzle is having a business card "blitz" with a 50% discount on all business cards through Thursday, March 24th. That's great news for everyone who needs them for business, hobbies, or even just to give out to (new) friends and family – especially convenient as a quick and stylish way to inform everyone of a change of address!

However, just because they are called business cards, it doesn't mean they have to be business cards. There are a plethora of other products available using the same cards: bookmarks, place cards, pocket-sized calendars, gift tags, the possibilities are endless! And with the many different card types available, there is an option for any budget.

Below are some suggestions, but it's easy to make your own! Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the post for the sale "fine print".

Thanks for looking in!

Help Zazzle Support Japan

© Dodgearts/Zazzle.com

As you know, Japan suffered a terrible 9.0 earthquake, followed by a devastating tsunami. I'm sure everyone has seen the photos in the news of the landscapes that were left behind. Not yet a week later, they are still trying to contain the damage that is the result of the disaster.

I wanted to make you aware of a special store set up on and by Zazzle.com to help with relief efforts. Here you can make a donation to the American Red Cross, purchase products that benefit fund-raising efforts, and contribute your own design to the store for fund-raising merchandise. Please consider visiting the store and help Japan get back on its feet.

Thank you!!

About Last January...

I can't believe it's February already! This new year is moving far too fast for me. I didn't sit still in January, so I thought I'd share some of the new stuff that's been added to my store. I have a several passions, two of which were my focus in January. It is my pleasure to share them with you!

Washington's National Parks
The first one is my love of the outdoors and America's National Parks. Taken during last year's trip to the Pacific Northwest, the images below were taken at Mount Rainier National Park and Olympic National Park, respectively.

Mount Rainier Paradise Meadow Poster

The Paradise Meadow was in bloom with beautiful wildflowers. Mount Rainier provided a magnificent backdrop to this view. As John Muir once said: "...the most luxuriant and the most extravagantly beautiful of all the alpine gardens I ever beheld in all my mountain-top wanderings." It's good to know that some things stay the same.

Olympic Misty Mountains Card

After a foggy ride to the Hurricane Ridge visitor center, we were treated to this stunning view - the fog blanketing the lower elevations of the Olympic Mountain Range, its tops still dusted with snow. I immediately had to think of Tolkien's Misty Mountains. Could there be a Rivendell somewhere out there?

Running
One of my other passions is running. I love to strap on my running shoes, iPod ready to play my favorite tunes, and find a nice trail to enjoy my surroundings as I run away the miles. One of my proudest accomplishments last year was training for and finishing the Nike Women's Half Marathon. There are no words to describe the feeling you get when you cross the finish line!

I believe those who finish half- and full marathons have the right to brag about their accomplishment, and to that end I created Zazzle products that allow you to do exactly that! So go ahead, wear your shirt or necklace with pride. If you know something who will be running a marathon soon, surprise them him or her with a reward for their effort. For that special touch, customize the shirts and the necklaces with the runner's name!

Promotion
Now is a good time to stock up on these items and your Valentine's needs! Zazzle is offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders of $50 and more. Use the code FREESHIPFORU upon check-out. Here are the details:

• To qualify for this free shipping offer, one or more Zazzle products must be purchased with a net sale price equal to or greater than 50.00 dollars. 
• The coupon code FREESHIPFORU must be entered during checkout to receive the offer. The free shipping offer is for economy shipping to U.S. addresses only. 
• Offer does not apply to shoes, skateboards, custom framed prints, screen printed apparel, photo sculptures, binders, premium ornaments, or premium keychains. 
• Shipping charges will apply to oversized orders and orders being shipped on an expedited basis or outside the U.S. 
• Offer is valid through March 31, 2011 at 11:59pm PT. Your order must be placed during that time to qualify for this special offer. 
• This promotional offer may not be combined with any other Zazzle promotional or discount offers.

Have fun shopping, and thanks for visiting my store!

Happy New Year!

It has been a while since my last post. It was a busy time spent preparing for the holiday season, as I am sure all of you did. It was also a wonderful time spent with family and friends, and I am thankful that I was able to enjoy precious moments with each and every one of them!

Sadly, it also meant that I was not able to spend as much time on Zazzle as I would have liked. However, you still took advantage of Zazzle's special deals, and shopped in my store for presents for your loved ones (or perhaps, yourself!). A huge thanks to my customers for your purchases. I hope they added more joy to your holiday season!

It has been a great year for my Zazzle store, and I can't thank all of you enough for your continued support! I already have ideas for new Zazzle products, and I can wait to start working on them. Be sure to keep an eye on Airwin Arts & Designs, my Facebook page, and/or this blog for the new additions!

You can still take advantage of Zazzle's after-Christmas sale, and receive a 20.11% discount on any purchases through January 6th!. Just use the code 2011NEWYEARS upon check-out. Perhaps this is a good time to buy the "Thank You" cards that you've been meaning to send?

I wish you all the best for 2011!
