Sponsor Giveaways: Yume Design, My Scrap Deals, Evalicious
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.

Wow! This stuff is beautiful! I am inspired by all of the perfect fresh vegetables that I am picking from my garden and eating a few minutes later.

I've been inspired to sew each time I walk by my sewing machine that's STILL in the new packaging from this past Christmas. Now I just need to learn how to thread the thing.

I've been inspired by a lot of vintage stuff lately. Books, photos, etc. Makes me reflect back on my past and even before that.

Blogs have been inspiring me lately. There are so many talented individuals out there who love to share tidbits of their creative works. It also means I spend way too much time checking out these blogs and not enough creating of my own work. So...bloggers keep blogging!

I am inspired by the slow pace of our life right now. Though I return to work next week and school starts the following week, this has been a fantastic summer and I am eager to complete a couple of layouts to document how relaxed and peaceful it is around our home right now. I would then like to complete a layout once our routine is established again and compare it with the ones from this summer. i know it will be a great contrast.

My family has been inspiring me lately! My mother has inspired me by pushing through so much pain to get up and get going again after a second knee surgery. My husband inspires me with his continual positive outlook on life, and my daughter inspires me with her ability to juggle work and getting her masters degree and still having time to call me everyday!

Love all your goodies this weekend. I am inspired by getting organized. I feel so much more creative and at ease when I have a home for everything!!! Now if I could just convince my kids to stay organized then we'd be doing even better!

Lately I've been inspired by the possibilities that come with new beginnings. We are expecting our first baby in February so lots of big changes are coming our way. I love the chance to reorganize the house and make things ready and all the options for making life easier and less chaotic/cluttered around here. Sometimes it's overwhelming, but overall, it's an exciting time.
Just signed up for your class Ali. My first at BPS. Can't wait for it to start!

I'm inspired these days by the new season in my life...Kids grown and almost all gone (7 of them), my husband retiring from the military after 29 years, he has started a new job, not having to move again, and most of all being a Nana!! New times in your life can be so wonderful if you let them...
