One lucky reader will receive Yume Design'sLIVE, LAUGH, LOVE hand-stamped necklace. Three pendants in varying sizes are hand-stamped and embellished with a simple pink bead charm hanging from an 18" sterling silver bead ball chain necklace. This prize is valued at $44.
Artist Diana Egusa started metal stamping simply as a grounding, creative outlet to balance her life in the hectic corporate world. After friends and family took notice of her creative designs and started requesting custom pieces for themselves, Diana discovered that her casual hobby had quickly turned into a successful fledgling business.
Yume Design features personalized hand-stamped sterling silver jewelry. Diana works with her clients' inspirations to create custom, unique pieces; each creation is one-of-a kind, made with high-quality, heavy gauge, 100% Sterling Silver to withstand everyday use.

This is sort of superficial, but I've been inspired by my new macro lens. I am feeling newly energized to take pictures just for the sake of playing and experimenting and that feels so good!

I love the illustrations in children's books. I do not have a favorite one; there are too many. But I love to go to the library or bookstore and look through the books on the shelves for creative inspiration.

I am inspired by just about everything I'm seeing. I'm on bedrest so I have been surfing the web. I have found wonderful ideas on organizing from Aby Garvey, but there is not much I can do from the couch!

I am inspired as I try new techniques in inking and contemplate trying my hand at a online business for my cards.

Recently I have been inspired to get to work on fixing all the "little things" in my house as I told our realtor that we would be ready to list our house for sale in 1 week. It's not creative, but it sure is inspiring me!

My inspiration is my 6 months old grandson, Jackson. I'm taking lots of pictures of him. His personality is starting to shine and he is having so much fun exploring the world around him.

Lately I have been inspired by the book Life is a Verb by Patti Digh-I began one of her 37 day challenges to create something every day for 37 days. I have been in a rut with my scrapbooking and just doing it is helping me get over my creative dry spell.

I have been really inspired by home decor. We are building a house and so I am always looking at new colors, designs, patterns, etc.

Hi Ali, glad you had a good vacaton.
I'm inspired lately by watching some people to whom I am close deal courageously with problems they are facing. They all have different approaches, creative approaches, and somehow I know they will succeed and come out the other side as winners.
Love all the holiday supplies...makes me think of doing a Christmas Through the Years Book - maybe one page for every five years we've been parents - showing enlarging families, the growth of love.

Taking a picture everyday since January 1 has been truly inspiring! We have a small life so trying to think of what little story to capture each day is a challenge... one that both my husband and I have embraced together. I love when projects just naturally become "family projects" all on their own. Thanks for the giveaway, Ali.

My inspiration right now is life itself. Seeing my children growing up, enjoying nature, being happy to be getting healthy - it makes me realize how great life is and that inspires me to be a better person and enjoy every single moment every single day!
