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.

My own children inspire me. They inspire me to look at somethings a new way or in a creative way that I had not considered. They inspire me to try and not overthink some things.

The 6 year old, who is currently going through a spate of "firsts"; first time riding a bike without training wheels, first wobbly tooth (it hasn't actually fallen out yet!), first time diving off the proper diving board at our local pool, and first attempts at learning to read.

my daughter is my inspiration as she takes on the responsibility of living on her own, teaching basic literacy to people in detention centres, and her classes for learners with problems and a whole new world of study with her degree in education starting next month!! She was just with me from England, telling me all her hopes and aspirations and I was just so in awe of her determination to succeed in all areas of her life. Go girl!!!!

After spending a few days at Tupperware's Jubilee I am inspired by strong confident women who know what they want and go out and get it. Reminds me that anything is possible!

My children, the weather, my photographs, my birthday, my parents, my business, my coworkers, the house we are building, the house we are leaving, the new paper that came in the mail, the new pair of jeans that came in the mail, the vegetables in my garden, the flowers on my table...pretty much everything is inspiring me in SOME way.

I'm inspired by my understanding that time is running out. My love for my family motivates me to create to leave behind our stories and proof of the wonderful life we've had together.

I am inspired by simplicity lately. Trying to do more with less. I am trying to not only have my scrapbook pages reflect simplicity but my home life as well. Less stuff = less stress.
