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.

Right now I am scanning and assembling photo albums of my inlaws' pictures (all that they've ever taken!). All those old photographs depicting family events and relationships are inspiring me to take more photos of my own, capturing those same connections.

I've been inspired by shopping for school supplies for my kids and thinking of the ways I can be creative in my scrapbooking once they're gone to school. Would love to win any of these!

I went to a park in our little town yesterday. There I saw a little field of big bright yellow flowers (I don't know what they are called), I really was inspiered to craft something yellow. It is a great color, especially in this time of year.

I'm inspired by the orange grove behind our house. The change of seasons in Southwest Florida aren't spectacular like other places, but subtle. I've been taking photos, in the orange grove, through the year for project 365 and have seen the full, orange, ripe fruit in the early morning mists of January. The incredible scented blooms in March heralding a new crop to come. The deep green developing fruit of June with the drops of rain dripping off the leaves. And most exciting the fruit beginning to turn from green to yellow, just making my mouth water for a fresh picked grapefruit.

Recently I have been inspired by... http://www.fatcyclist.com/
Not that pain brings me inspiration but perseverance, hope and raw honesty and emotion do. And riding on in the midst of it does too. There are more lessons to be learned from all of that then I can sometimes wrap around. Bless you Elden, children & family and may you smile down from heaven Susan. Win Susan!
