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.

IT IS SO FUNNY THAT YOU ASK THIS QUESTION. LATELY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INSPIRING ME. WITH THE WAY THEY HAVE TO HANDLE THE SITUATION WE ARE ALL IN IN REGARDS TO THE ECONOMY. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE NOT LET IT GET THEM DONE BUT SIMPLY ROLLED WOTH THE PUCHES AND STILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES. I THINK THAT IS VERY INSPIRING. :D

What inspires me lately is blogs like yours, Karen's Rusell's, Write.Click.Scrapbook., and others. They have inspired me to blog a little more about me and my personality instead of just the updates of what's going on today. From those more inspired blog posts, I plan on creating layouts.

I've been inspired lately by rubber stamping. I have a pile of them in the drawer and finally took them out and started playing with them. They have inspired me to really use the supplies I have and not buy new ones...well not too many news one. LOL!

Lately, I am inspired by nature in our yard now that it seems we have some good weather. We are seeing hummingbirds and other birds, our sunflowers are coming out, the wildflowers are really taking over our naturalized yard. I find it very soothing and inspiring. Nature knows how to put colors together! Thanks for the chance to win.

Right now I'm inspired by flea markets. I'm taking Jenni Bowlins class at BPS and it has been a lot of fun to come up with new uses for old things that I've found.
