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.

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.

Right now I am inpired by being a SAHM. I have five children, had twins the fourth time around, thus I had to stop working. I didn't realize how much I missed out with my other three children. It so much fun and inpiring to be around their every move, new discoveries, and just their everyday learning. Thanks.

I am inspired by my five year old daughter daily! To know that she can go through chemo, radiation and countless surgeries and STILL be a light and joy inspires me to be a better person!

I've been inspired by the new Christmas products, especially the Hero Arts stamps. I'm actually thinking about trying to get all my Christmas cards made this month instead of mid-December like last year!

I have become very inspired by my beautiful daughter that is 8 1/2 months pregnant with my first grandchild. As her child has grown week by week I have been taken by the awesome gift she carries. I am inspired to see things differently. To see beauty and blessings I have missed. To become more grateful and loving. God is good.

Hmmm...I'm not feeling so inspired these days. I wish the clean-up fairy would visit my studio. A clean and tidy studio is inspiring.

Wow. 355 comments = lots of readers. Go you. I have actually been much inspired lately by the little vacation books Elise Blaha (http://www.eliseblaha.typepad.com/) does. Trying to figure out a way to use them for past trips without the zing of being there, though, you know? Thanks as always for the inspiration you provide too! Looking forward to your kit at Cocoa Daisy next month.

We went to Yosemite last week, and I immediately came home and digitally scrapped our trip. Just being out in nature was so inspiring. Thanks for the chance for one of the give-aways!

I am inspired lately by texture. I think maybe I am behind the times, but layering different textures is especially fascinating to me lately.

Hi Ali, I am inspired right now to build on ten years of successful early childhood education at our school. We are expanding, and hope to add a therapy/gym room so that parents no longer have to find these resources elsewhere. It's amazing to see the excitement purpose-filled work!

I have two grandbabies on the way (3 days apart) and I have been inspired to create scrapbooks for the expectant mothers. I have been buying a lot of my supplies from scrapbook.com and I love they show how people have used the products that I am purchasing - gives me a ton of inspiration.
Thanks

I'm inspired by the beautiful sunsets lately here in the Willamette Valley and the cooler evenings. Being outside and enjoying the August weather has me thinking about recording my thoughts and memories.
