Inspired is most definitely the first thing that came to mind when I first visited Lisa Leonard’s charming blog and beautiful custom handmade jewelry store. Wow! I just love it! :) Seriously- love reading about her darling family, her fashion (ultra hip!), her photography (so stunning and serene) and her sense of style is so what I want to be! I browsed pages and pages of her blog- her color inspiration posts are my favorite!! :)
Meet Lisa – so sweet :) and look! A scarf! :D Ya’ll know I’m a sucker for scarves. ;)
When Lisa contacted me about doing a giveaway on kevinandamanda.com, I was thrilled. Thrilled, thrilled, thrilled! :) Beyond thrilled. And honored!! Just look where all Lisa’s been featured! :)
If you have someone special on your Christmas list this year, or are wondering what to get the hard-to-buy-for mom, sister or friend who has everything?? :) You’ll definitely want to check out Lisa’s designs. And you’ll probably want to leave the browser window open on your dear husband’s computer too! ;)
Just look at a few of these delightful pieces by Lisa! :)
Oh my goodness. It’s a family tree necklace!! A hand-stamped tree with each family member’s name stamped around the edge! This is just too sweet. :)
Love these whimsical flowers and the pearl adds such a delicate touch!
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Love this vintage key- the XO stamped down at the bottom just puts it over the top!! So sweet :)
This is what’s on my Christmas list this year. Kevin gave me a traditional pearl necklace for our wedding, and recently I’ve been thinking about getting some pearl studs to go with it. But when I saw these- I knew they were the ones. :)

Omg! Those are so precious! I can’t find anything like that anywhere,that’s more of the style I’ve been looking for. I hope I win! And thanks Amanda for having this awesome site.
Hey – I really enjoyed that link. It is hard to pick a favorite. I think I love the necklaces with birds the most. However, I really like the family ones, too. I think I might get something for my mom with the names of the grandkids. Thanks for the tips!
~Tammy
WoW!! totally cute! I really love the simpleness to them! I love the family tree necklace! I’ll be keeping it for myself!! Thanks for the great link!
I love the family tree necklace, what a wonderful idea!!! I can think of a few friends who just had their first child to give this too. Thanks for the link!
Oh wow!! I love all of Lisa’s designs but this one is my fave:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/sweetheart-tree-necklace.html
I’d definitely keep it for myself :) :)
Thanks for all of the inspiration, Amanda!!
What a hard choice! I love the Family Tree, the Original, and the Captured Heart necklaces! They are all absolutely beautiful!
Amanda..thanks for sharing Lisa’s website. It would be a hard decision between the family tree and the pearl earrings, but I think the pearl earrings would win. I would love the chance. Thanks
I love her jewelry. So pretty! It would be hard not to spend a gift certificate on me. I might buy a Christmas present for my MIL. But oh, how I would love a family tree necklace for myself!
I *heart* Lisa Leonard jewelry. How would I spend the $50? I’d like to get the friendship necklace for my best friend Katy. Although, I’d like to have a matching one for myself :) I’d also like to get the sweetheart tree necklace for myself. Those would probably be my top choices. Thank you to you and to Lisa for this opportunity! Please pick me :) Happy Holidays!
oh my goodness, I sooo want a necklace with my sons name on it. I had one but I wore it out and it needs an AWESOME replacement, like one of those!
Hey Amanda! Pick me pick me!! I love these!!!
Lisa J.
Very very cool! LOVE the friend necklace, but my fave is the BE STILL necklace. http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html I would love to give this as a gift!
Lisa’s creations are seriously beautiful! I {heart} the be still necklace!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html
I really like the family tree necklace! How unique! My BFF would love it!
-EBP-
I love the family crest necklace. Wonder what it would feel like to have one of my own?
Oh my goodness! I love them all. I have two pieces of Lisa’s designs already and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. I would be so excited to receive a gift certificate and I think I would use it to get my “soon to be sister-in-law” something special!
I love her jewelry, thanks so much for sharing! Since I am not big on large-sized jewelry, the teenie tiny initials necklace is by far my favorite.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html
I would pick either the Wish necklace or the Be Still necklace. All her jewelry is amazing! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would likely get a necklace or earrings. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow, you are right……so talented!! I love every piece, but am partial to http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html………the family tree!
I would most likely spend it on me!! My 40th birthday is in a few weeks and this would be a great gift for myself!!
I love these necklaces, so hard to pick just one. Thanks for a chance to win. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
If I won the gift certificate… I’d purchase the Mama necklace… I love being a mama and would want the world to see. Her stuff is all so lovely, though… but I’d be selfish and keep for myself… hee, hee!
Here’s my fave piece… http://ohbabymybabies.blogspot.com/2009/11/happy-graduation-to-me.html
(if you want to find it in Lisa’s store go here:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/dewdrops-necklace.html)
I would love to get something for my mom with her grandkids’ names on it so that’s what i’d use it for!! Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh my goodness! Her jewelry is just jaw dropping! I would definitely use the gift certificate to get the wish necklace, and relieve my husband’s stress on what to get me for Christmas! :D
Thank you for the opportunity! Good luck to everyone!
I would give myself something for a change! I have been wanting a stamped necklace forever now and no one seems to catch on that they should get me one! LOL So, I would buy myself something for being the best WIFE and MOMMY I can be! Thanks for the chance!
I would get the key necklace for myself and also the LOVE banner necklace!! Amazing stuff. I am in love with it all!!!
I would buy 2 necklaces, one for my sister and one for myself. It looks as though my husband and I will be moving out of state soon and it would be so nice to have matching jewelry :) What a great gift!
Those are gorgeous! I love the earrings! Beautiful! I would love a necklace or the earrings…I don’t want to sound selfish, but I couldn’t help but get a little something for myself :)
I love these for gifts — unique. I can think of a several family members who’d treasure these as gifts.
OMGosh! So gorgeous! I love the family tree necklace! I’ve been looking for somthing like this for myself!! Thanks for the chance!
Oh thank you for sharing that site – I think that I’ll be back there lots!
I think that I would like to use my certificate and get the family tree necklace for my Mom. I know that she would love to have a piece of jewelry like that with all our names on it!
Thank you so very much for the giveaway Ü
First of all – THANK YOU for introducing me to Lisa’s site/blog. Adore it all! I would totally spend a $50 g.c. on either a leather cuff for my hubby (because they’re so rock-n-roll!) or I would invest in a personalized “mama” necklace for myself – so my dear ones are always close to my heart!!! Thanks for this fabulous giveaway – beautiful beautiful works of art!
I LOVE the necklaces! I would get the family tree necklace for my sister-in-law. She and my brother just had their first baby and it would be such a sweet gift to give her. It would look beautiful on her too! Hope I win! :)
I should say that I would either give it to my mother or pick out something special just for her, but those pearl earrings are calling my name. That is until I saw the Itty Bitty Hearts necklace! Can’t I have two, too?? :)
I absolutely love the jewelry and would love to win!!
I love them all but my favorite is the mama necklace. I think it would be the perfect thing to remind myself that no matter what other jobs I have (photographer/secretary) that my boys are # 1 and that is the most important job I have.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/sweet-daisy-necklace.html
I love all of her designs, but the sweet daisy is what I’d buy… and I would give it as a gift to my sister-in-law!
You are right…Lisa is very talented. I love her stuff. Thanks for introducing her stuff to me. You are awesome Amanda! Thanks for your fun blog posts, great ideas and chances to win.
I’m a long time fan of Lisa Leonard! It’s definitely hard to pick a favorite but I think I would go with the “friendship necklace” – those little flowers are too cute. And I would keep it for myself!!! ;-)
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html
I would definatly keep it for myself I have been wanting one of these for a while now! I have even been trying to figure out how I can make my own! :)
I love Lisa’s designs- right now the one that calls to me most is this:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/stackable-rings.html
I went through a few very difficult years and last year as I started to climb out of the hole that I had fallen into I was inspired by the musical Wicked and in particular the song Defying Gravity. I had “Defy Gravity” tatooed on my upper arm as a reminder to myself not to let anyone hold me back from realizing my potential and my dreams. I would love to have this ring say “Defying Gravity” as a constantly visible reminder to myself to continue with what I have begun.
Thanks for the great link!
so many great things! love this necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html and I would keep it for myself! (is that selfish of me?!)
If I won…..this is what I would love
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html
With all of our initials on it…it’s beautiful , it’s inspiring and I find that everything I do is for my family…I seem to lose track of me…this would be for me :)
These gifts are really really cool! Wish I could be creative like ya’ll! :) I think I like the flower one with friends on the back, and I like the first one…with the 2 names! Thanks!!! :)
Lots of cute things and very hard to choose just one, but I really love this one:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/jumble-of-charms-necklace.html
Thanks so much for offering a give-a-way! :D
I love these! My favorite has to be the family tree necklace! As much as I would love to give one for a gift I would probably keep it for myself. I have a wonderful hubby, two little kiddos and a new job that keeps me away from them 2 nights a week so that necklace would be perfect! I hope I win!
WOW! This stuff is awesome! I would get
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/cream-freshwater-pearl-earrings.html
and
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/bronze-freshwater-pearl-earrings.html
And I would buy them for myself but let my SIL borrow them hahahaha
Thanks for the chance ♥
I love this style! Hope I win!! Thanks Amanda for having this great site!
I love them all. I also like the men’s items. Such a great idea. Thanks for posting Amanda. I am going to see who all I can necklaces for.
I love her stuff and really liked the Forever necklace, the Wish necklace and the Open Circle necklace. Too hard to choose or give away.
Thanks for the great link. You find the coolest things.

Thanks so much for offering a give-a-way!!! :D
Oh! I love all of the necklaces! They’re all so unique and adorable. I want for myself, hehe, I love them all too much. I really wish I could get one of these necklaces.
I would choose the momma necklace. I could give it away to a million other wonderful mommies that I know, or even my own. But, I love Lisa Leonard’s jewelry and I would love to have this necklace for myself. It might even help my husband out with this Christmas shopping, or Santa?????
LOVE her designs!! I think I would either get myself those pearl earrings, or maybe I’d go the unselfish route and get the friend necklace for one of my closest girlfriends :)
Hi Amanda,
These necklaces are so pretty. I love the family tree necklace. Please tell my hubby!
EVERYTHING is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
I’m definitely checking out her site!!
:)
What a great idea. LOVE!
I love the family tree necklace and the jumbled charms necklace! I would like to use it for myself and also buy one for my daughter! I think her jewelry is beautiful! (Also-Thank for posting your weight loss story- I am trying to lose weight myself- and your way inspired me!)
Thanks!
Elizabeth
OMG Amanda, don’t know whether to love you or “hate” you for showing me that site & jewelry, lol. I *LOVE* that stuff and now I’m going to want all kinds of it!! My fave is the “Jumble of Charms” necklace. I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed that.
What to choose! I, too, love the pearl earrings! And the necklaces! I would probably go with a family tree necklace. They are all beautiful…off to visit her site!
I just love the “friend” one.. so simple, any friend would love to have that!
If I won the gift certificate I would definitely use it on the family tree necklace for my mom. It’s so beautiful, just like her.
Oh thank you for providing me with a new obsession! I would gladly spend the GC on a family tree necklace for my MIL. I always say that I won the lottery when I got my MIL and that necklace would be a perfect gift for her! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love these necklaces! I want to give one for my friend, this would be the perfect gift for my friend.
I would love to use it for a family tree pendant…so much more my taste than the ‘mother’s ring’ I’ve been kicking around to commemorate the birth of our third (and final) baby.
I love the family tree necklace! I have been over to Lisa’s website before and just fell in love. I would probably keep it for myself if I am lucky enough to win. :)
I’ve been a fan of Lisa’s work for some time and I am truly inspired by her jewelry and her family! I love the family tree necklace…and I’d keep it for myself :)
Those are so pretty! I want it for myself…I would get this: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html. I hope I win!
Gosh, they are all so wonderful. Each one brings a special meaning with it to my life. But I am partial to the Lovebird Necklace as it would be a constant reminder of my sweet grandchildren and how much I love them:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/lovebi

So I guess you have guessed that I would be keeping it as a Christmas gift to myself!
Thanks for offering this generous give-away! Happy Holidays.

I absolutely LOVE the family tree necklace! That is such a cute idea and since our family tree is *growing* it’s going on my Christmas list!
Amanda you have the most fun tips & links! I would get the friend necklace if I won and give it to my daughter, then I’d have to go get two more for my other daughter and me and the pearl earrings for me, too.
LOVE the family tree necklace…I’m headed to her website now to order one! Thanks for sharing info on this talented artist with us!
Those are gorgeous! I didn’t know how much I liked pearls until recently and now I’m always on the lookout for something new :) Thanks for the chance to win, Amanda!
I LOVE this style of jewelry, and have seen it around quite a bit lately! Lisa does gorgeous work! I would definitely be wanting the family tree one with my little family of 5 – do 5 names fit?! What fun!
Thanks Lisa and Amanda for the opportunity!
So I’ve been in love with the Captured Heart Necklace for a while now (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/captured-heart-necklace.html). But that Family Tree Necklace seems to be calling my name too. Oh to win and have to make that tough decision . . .

I would love one of these pieces. I would get either the “friendship” necklace or the “be still” necklace, both featured on your blog. I would love to give one of these to my SIL who is currently living with my family. I never win anything, but heck, it never hurts to try, right? :)
Such lovely little pieces of wearable art! I would love the family tree necklace or these adorable little hearts (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html)
I have heard so much about Lisa Leonard designs! I would use the gift certificate toward either the laundry line necklace or the family crest necklace. Thanks for the giveaway!

Hi thank you I would love to win one if these timeless pieces.
I would definitely spend it on myself because as a single mom I sacrifice most for my two boys and this would be a treat for me.

Thank you again for this really COOL opportunity!

wow! this jewelry is amazing! it is super cute and elegant at the same time! the friend necklace is THE perfect gift to give to my bestie this christmas!!
I would either use this gift certificate to purchase a gift for my sister who is expecting a little girl in January (her first!) or for my best friend who is getting married in May. It would be a close call!!
I really love the Family Tree necklace– http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html
I love all of her designs but I really want something with one charm that has all of our names. I *could* give this to my mom or MIL but I really, really have wanted it for a long time so…
What to do..?
OH wow–I love all of her designs/creations! It was so hard to pick just one thing….but I think I like the family crest necklace. http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/D/S/DSC_0486.JPG
