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! :)

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. :)

Adorable! I love the family tree and that it can hold 4 names! http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html
Well this is the item I chose: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/jumble-of-charms-necklace.html
It is one of Lisa’s custom pieces. Its amazingly cute! It is a great way to show off the member’s of my family (my husband and our gorgeous daughter (whom was a new addition to our family this past July of this year) who has made me feel wonderful as a mom).
This really is an awesome giveaway.
Do I really have to choose an item? I just can’t. I can’t do it. There are too many fabulously created designs! So here’s what I would do if I won the great giveaway… $25 on me, $25 for a gift. :)
These are great! the one that caught my eye:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/my-heart-necklace.html
My sister is a big e.e.cumings fan :)
Thank you!
Such unique jewelry! It would be so hard to decide what to spend a gift certificate on! I’d love to get something neat like this for myself (or from my husband would be even better!) and my sweet mother-in-law and best friend would cherish a gift like this as well!
Her jewelry ist beautiful, just beautiful. My favorite is this necklace here http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/captured-heart-necklace.html and I would give it to my sister who’s expecting her second child in March. It would be such a unique and special gift!
My friend posted about these necklaces on her blog. LOVE THEM! So great!
LOVE those pearl earrings! And the Baby’s First Spoon.. what a great keepsake for my little boy!
These are stunning…I would love to win so I could buy that Family Tree one…it is beautiful!
I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile now – I would love to have this one for myself, with my son’s initial as well as some kind of charms to represent our two angel babies! http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html And I’d love to give this one to my best friend. http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/friendship-necklace.html
I just LOVE a few of those pieces….the open circle bracelet is my favorite….I think I would have to get something for my sister though….maybe have my hubby get me that bracelet..
Thanks for your awesome website.
Oh, what nice work! My favorite would have to be the men’s leather bracelet that says ‘courage’ – that would be perfect for my son.
Those are such beautiful necklaces! I love the style of them.
Amanda you always have some great giveaways, first of all thanks for doing this. I would have to say if I won I would love to have one of the family necklaces http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html I never do anything for myself, or I would give it to my Mother who is finally moving down here after 5.5yrs of not being down here. We can’t afford anything and to be able to give her a Christmas gift would be great and mean a lot to her! To be able to give back something little but mean so much.
I would love to win this one. I would get the family tree necklace for my daughter who will have her first child in June. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win.
Oh my! I love love love the wish necklace!! I’m a sucker for any type of silver jewelry…Amanda, you always find the cutest stuff for your giveaways! :)
Those are beautiful! lets hope that I win!
I loved all of the designs. I think that I’d really love one of the family tree’s, but I’m planning on having more children, so definately when I’m done, I’d love that as a mother’s necklace. However, I would maybe give it to my mom for mother’s day with mine and my siblings names. I also think the baby’s first spoon is a cute idea for a baby shower. Or I’d get the friend one for my friend. So many options!!
I love love love the family tree necklace! I would totally keep it for myself :)
I love her jewelry. The simple and clean lines make them all so easy to wear. My favorite is the Cherish Necklace. What a beautiful reminder to take time to cherish the simple things in life. Especially with the holiday season upon us, we tend to get so busy and crazed that the simple everyday pleasures are the ones we should remember to treasure.
I couldn’t decide but, if I have to pick one…it would be the Petite Original Necklace! Thanks for the chance to win and thanks for discovering these neat sites for us! Hugs from south Louisiana!
Absolutely gorgeous! I’m not sure I could give them away :)
I would love to win this for my wife, she’s been asking for something like this since she had our son and I haven’t gotten it for her yet. http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html
OMG!!! This jewelry is sooo beyond precious and beautiful–It’s so hard to choose which one I love the best–hmmm probably the family tree–it touches my heart:)
I love Lisa’s designs. I would get a necklace with my kids’ names on them if I won.
Perfect gift for a grandmother who has everything.
Love that jewelry! I would put a gift certificate toward a custom necklace for my mom, because she’s a fantastic mother, and she deserves a lovely gift! :)
a family tree necklace for my mom … love all her stuff, but it’s a no brainer!
I love these necklaces!!!
i loooooove the 2 friends necklaces. i would get one for me and one for my sister. I love her designs, they are super clean, and crisp, yet warm? Does that make sense? I love my sister and it would be beautiful on her.
Well, good luck to whomever may win.
Peace yall!

Very cute stuff. I love the family tree necklace. I’d have to get that one for sure.

I definitely love the family tree necklace and although l have three children l have already counted all the letters in our names and we just fit!!! Thanks for offering us this special prize. I have already bookmarked this site as l am going to order one for my sister too! Fingers crossed that l get picked!!
I left a comment but I’m not seeing it now, not sure what happened – so I apologize if it shows up as a duplicate!
I would love to have one of these for myself, I’ve been wanting one like this one for awhile now, with my son’s initials as well as two charms of some kind to represent our two angel babies! http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html
i forgot to put my etsy website. im sorry…
Count me in! Hope I win!

http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html
I love, love, love them all!! I would keep one for me and give one to my best friend!
Do I have to choose just one?!?!? I am between jumble of charms, Wish and tiny squares! THey’re all GORGEOUS!! Thanks for the opportunity!!
Absolutely lovely!!
Those are beautiful and one of a kind! Since the holidays are coming, I would spend the $50 on christmas gifts. My 12 yr old daughter is in to jewelry big time and I know she would enjoy something like that.
I love this jewelry! The family tree necklace is so sweet! Would love to win this gift certificate! I hope Santa comes early this year!! :)
I am so excited to see Lisa on your blog! I found her months ago & then couldn’t find her again & couldn’t remember her name. When I followed the link I was soooo pumped that it was her! I would use the gift certificate for the 2009 ornament for my little family. http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/ornament-2010.html I love leaves-especially when made significant by each family members name. Can’t wait to see who wins!
So many lovely things it’s really difficult to choose. One of my favourites is the sweet & simple birdie necklace and I have someone in mind to give it to. Would love to win!
These are the coolest. That family tree is just speaking to me…and I would so keep it for myself. Thanks for this link!!! Awesome gift idea!
WOW. This jewelry is truly amazing! How cute is that family tree pendant?? I would love to win one of those for my Mom!! Thanks Amanda ;)
I would definitely use it towards a necklace. It is awesome! WOW!!
This is the one I like:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/hope-necklace.html
Ooooh, I love everything!! But I’m really in love with the family tree necklace and that antique key!
Ok super beautiful stuff! That family tree one I would totally get for my mom! She would love that There is also a starry hearts necklace on the website that I would have to get too for her. She loves this kinda of jewelry.
wow those are beautiful! So rustic yet chic.
Having a love for hearts (since my site is TwoHeartsTogether.com) I would love their itty bitty hearts necklace to represent my passion for my site!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/catalog/product/gallery/id/10/image/153/
wow! simply gorgeous
I would use the money to get my best friend a Christmas gift. I think the friend necklace . . . or maybe the hope . . . or the family tree. This will be her first Christmas with her daughter Ave and her 2nd Christmas since her sweet mom died. I want to get her something extra special. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Blessings,
Shana

the dewdrops necklace is just adorable! it’s a little higher than the gift card, but i don’t care! :)
i love this style of jewelry! thanks for sharing this site with us!
Thanks for this opportunity. I like so many of these beautiful pieces but if I had to choose just one I think it has to be the be still necklace. Just lovely.
Beautiful!! I’ve been looking for an everyday piece of jewelery to “cheer me up” as I’ve recently been battling some very difficult issues. Thank you so much for sharing Amanda! This is the perfect “for me” gift!
it is hard to pick just one thing, all of her designs are so sweet, but I love the “banner bracelet” http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/bracelets/banner-bracelet.html
it says, dream a little bigger, it is so inspirational and beautiful.
you always have the best links! her jewlery is exactly what i’ve been looking for…as a mommy of 2 boys (3 if you include my hubby), i rarely treat myself. i would LOVE to have the teenie tiny initials necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html or the tiny squares necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/tiny-squares-necklace.html with all of our initials/names.
amanda, thanks for the opportunity.
laura :)
I really like the Fly Free, Be Still, and Sea Star necklaces. Lol. Too many great designs to pick just one!
I LOVE the stamped jewelry! It’s so sweet and simple, yet very intricate (sounds impossible, but Lisa Leonard does it all the same!) I’d love to have one (or more) of her pieces, but I’d love to gift one too, it would be such a hard decision! Pick me, I don’t mind having to make the decision! Thanks!
And I thought the pottery you showed me was cool. . . these rock!
I love these!
I would chose this for myself…
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/dewdrops-necklace.html
And, I would like to give this away to my best friend..
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/friendship-necklace.html
Thanks for the giveaway!!
My best friend loves pearls and I would love to get her something from Lisa’s collection! The pieces shown are gorgeous!!
I adore the sterling ring: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/stackable-rings.html I would totally keep that for myself!! Mommy needs Christmas, too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting her site. Great gift ideas. I absolutely love the teenie tiny intials necklace. You could fit your whole family’s initials on it.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html#
these are lovely. i would have the family tree necklace made for my daughter’s family as a christmas gift. thanks for the chance
Your giveaways are so awesome!!! My 17 year old stepdaughter would definitely be the recipient of this giveaway. She would love it and get a very nice Christmas present this year :)
With sparklers at my wedding and then a 4th of July baby… I’d ask for this one for Christmas (if we weren’t on a gift ban this year)
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/wish-necklace.html
This would be the perfect gift for my mom! (the tree one with all of us kids’ names on it)
I love Lisa’s designs. To be honest, her jewelry IS my Christmas list this year. One of my favorite pieces is a sterling ring. I have 3 children (two little boys here with us and a beloved daughter that is with the Lord). I would have each of my children’s names stamped around the ring. So very lovely. Thanks for the giveaway, Miss Amanda.
Blessings,
Mis
I love the teenie tiny initials necklace (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html) and would get my kids’ initials on it–and TOTALLY keep it for myself. :)
BTW…pick me because we had ice cream together in Auburn years ago! Glad to “find” you again… :)
I love the teenie tiny initials necklace (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html). Love it! :)
I NEED a new necklace. Mine seem to somehow mysterious disappear. Couldn’t have anything to do with two daughters that like to borrow. Ha! I would love to get a new necklace for me!!
Oh my gosh. I love the kisses & hugs necklace. So simple, yet elegant. I would love this piece & will add it my Christmas list!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/kisses-and-hugs-necklace.html
~T.
I would choose the Kisses and Hugs Necklace. My SIL just got engaged and this would be such a wonderful gift to celebrate that.
XO*Tricia
I have to say soo very cute! I would spend that $50 so very quickly and know that I would have to for sure get one of the friend necklaces for a dear and special friend Becky who is one of those friends that is patient, loving and helpful in every way possible. The pearl earrings are another favorite. Who am I KIDDING, I love them all that it’s too impossible to spend just $50 I might have to start buying my christmas stocking stuff and let my husband know that my stocking is taken care of.
Those would make the perfect gift for all the Grandma’s in the family! I love them!
Since my shopping is ALL DONE!!! I would just have to use the gift for myself – maybe as a reward for being on top of things this year. I would probably get one of the necklaces with my kids names on it – our 4th and FINAL is due in February! Her stuff is wonderful!
I love them! How fun and fresh! I totally love the family tree necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html that’s what I would buy. But I would also just have to get the friendship necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/friendship-necklace.html for my girlfriend who’s birthday is coming up! Thanks for the chance!
What a hard choice! All her pieces are so amazing! I think I would go with the single tag necklace and keep it for myself! I would put my son’s name on it (Jack), and wear it all the time. I hope I win!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/single-tag-necklace.html
These are just beautiful. I hope I win!!
Okay Amanda, I really think I should win! I immediately went to Lisa’s Designs and found something I had to order right away! Great site! I would have to order the family tree necklace – either for myself (probably!) or my Mom!
I love the Be Still necklace: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html
I don’t wear necklaces much so I would give it to my mom.
super cute! i love this new style of jewelry, and how custom it can be!
for me, i’d pick the open circle necklace…
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/open-circle-necklace.html
or the basic rectangle necklace… i love the simplicity!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/basic-rectangle-necklace.html
for my mom i’d pick the jumble of charms:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/jumble-of-charms-necklace.html
i guess it just depends on how giving i’m feeling… ;)
I absolutely love, love, love these!
Sorry for not following instructions my first time.. I am new to this. Amanda, this is my first blog post. I didn’t put how I would spend the $50 gift card.. I absolutely love the jewelry. I would spend the money on one of those fabulous necklaces and give it to my sister who has moved to Korea.. I love & miss her very much!
I think these are just adorable!!
I love every single piece of Lisa’s jewelry! It would be so hard to choose only one piece, but I think I’d have to get the Fly Free Necklace for my daughter who will be leaving for college next year. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I have drooled over her beautiful necklaces for awhile. So hard to pick just one but I think I would choose the the sweet daisy necklace with the word “brave” on it. Oh I would keep it for myself, this year I have become so “brave” in my cancer journey.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/sweet-daisy-necklace.html.
Love, love, love these. Would be great as a gift for my sisters!
I would choose the family tree necklace. My mom has been going through a hard time recently, and I think this necklace would remind her how much her family loves her and supports her. This would be such a beautiful gift. Thank you!
LOVE this find!! I’d definitely invest in that adorable family tree necklace – I have two daughters, but no mother’s jewelry yet. Thanks!!
OMH those are adorable. The jumble of charms Necklace is stinking cute (of course I only have 2 kids…not much of a jumble) I also am a tad obsessed with bracelets and the Sweet Daisy Cuff is just too cute!
Hi Amanda – I agree those necklaces are adorable. I especially like the one with friend on the one side. I would give it to my dear friend Robyn. I am truly blessed to have her in my life.
Thanks for the opportunity!
OMGoodness! Those earrings are beautiful! I would definitely get those for myself!! lol Thanks for the chance.
*LOVE* these, they are so cute. My favorite is the family tree necklace. I have a wonderful husband, 3 kids and 2 jobs…needless to say we pass each other in the halls. I hope I win. These are cute enough that I might just break down and buy it though :)
Would love to give a gift certificate to my daughter who is going thru an unusually hard time.
I love lisa leaonard & all of her amazingness! I have wanted one of her pieces for oh-so-long, but just haven’t broken down to get one. So beautiful.
What beautiful designs! Thanks for the chance to win.
OH MY GOSH, I AM IN LOOOOOVE! those are gorgeous! Welllll… My sister is having her first baby and i would LOVE to get her one. If i dont win, thats probably what I will do for christmas. The other one I would want for myself and get the family tree one. they are all so beautiful, i just cant decide! thanks so much for sharing this link with us! =)
So simple but so beautiful! I really love the key!
