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! :)

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 :)

How are we supposed to narrow it down? I love them all!! If I have to narrow it down, I’d choose this
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/the-original-necklace.html
or this
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/my-heart-necklace.html
or this sweet little sister necklace

Ooo! Love that family tree necklace! I want one! :)
Wow, so much to choose from. I love the family tree necklace and I also love the baby spoon for my little one. Thanks for the give away!
What beautiful jewelry! What a generous give away!
So does it make me a completely horrible person that I would totally keep the gift certificate for myself right now? I just had a precious baby girl in October and I absolutely have been dying for a handstamped necklace with her name. I would choose the original necklace or the captured heart necklace. Such beautiful designs!
Sarah
These are adorable. I quickly realized this would be an adorable gift for my soon to be new sister-in-law.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/wishing-star-necklace.html
This one in particular! Still deciding on the word I would choose..faith, love, hope. So many choices :)
How sweet is this! My perfect gift would be this one:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/sweet-daisy-necklace.html
And probably would keep it for me-eh! :)
Thanks for this great giveaway.
Yum-O! I covet anything with my kids’ names on it, so the family tree necklace is stellar! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful find! Love the Key to my Heart necklace. And the dog tag inspired necklace, and so on, and so on. Thanks for having the contest, too!
I would LOVE to win! I love these necklaces! Thanks Amanda!!
Amazing stuff…I love the tiny squares necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/tiny-squares-necklace.html
I would love to get one for myself.
I would spend it on my mom for Christmas… she deserves that family tree necklace, and i know she would love it so much!!! Thanks for this opportunity!!!
My wife would love one of these. I really like the true love necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/true-love-hearts-necklace.html
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/true-love-hearts-necklace.html
I would love to put my baby girl’s name on one of the hearts on this necklace and keep it for myself!
I love the family tree and I would totally keep it for myself! Probably get one for my mom too! :)
They are all so simply PERFECT. I must admit- I’d splurge on me and get to celebrate my 3 precious children.
THANKS!!
Oooh…I love my necklace I have from here already. I also love the pearl earrings. And the be still necklace. And the thin sterling cuff. And the open circle bracelet. There are just too many choices!
I love the simple bird necklace
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/sweet-and-simple-birdie-necklace.html
(nothing simple about it if you ask me :), I certainly wouldn’t be able to make one).
But if I were to win the certificate I would get a custom necklace for my mother for Christmas. She would love it I am sure!
Awesome giveaway!!! My sister is a jewelry nut so I would probably get her something. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love them all! The mama necklace is fab!
Here you go again, Amanda! Another fabulous giveaway! Thanks for sharing your talents and those of others! My favorite is definitely the whimsical flower necklace. Too cute! God bless!
beautiful jewelry, so differenet and unique. Would love to hang it around my neck.
They are soooo beautiful! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have one of these as a mother’s necklace. I’ve been searching for the PERFECT one since my youngest daughter was born 4 months ago!
I love Lisa and her designs are beautiful. I would get the family tree necklace and give it to my mother for christmas. I love it.
ohhhhhh mercy…..I have been looking for just the right little morsels of delishishness…and these little babies fit the bill. So glad I stumbled across your blog (a link sent to me by my buddy, Robyn). I am hoping to win but will surely be adding to my collection soon. Congrats on such beautiful work!
love her stuff. I have one, recently gave 1 to my sister for her birthday and now need one for my other sister who just became a “grammie” – the family tree would be perfect for her (it is on my Christmas list). thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh how cute! I am going to get a family tree necklace for my mom! … you know – that gift certificate could help with that ;)
BTW, you do look AMAZING! I loved reading the weight loss story!
I am not a mom or even soon-to-be…but I know my mom is dying to be a grandma. When I saw the baby’s first spoon and the custom necklace choices, I just thought I would LOVE to tell my mom she’s going to be a grandma by giving her this necklace: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/sweet-sister-necklace.html saying “grannny” instead of sister, and a baby spoon with a custom name to keep at her house!! Wouldn’t that be the best Christmas present ever for my mom?? Now I just have to work on the grandchild. ha ha.
I love the family tree necklace for myself. So cute!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html
What an awesome giveaway! I hope I win. BTW…love your blog!
Thanks for sharing!! Her jewelry is gorgeous!! I love the pearl earrings!!! :)
These are each a blessing….I know someone who has gone through a lot this past year–her husband with cancer–we have all tried to surround her with love and support, she deserves a little extra something special this Christmas…I think the one with the little bird, to let her know there is a little bird looking out for her!
thanks for the great website and ideas :)
Blessings!
I would LOVE something like this, I really don’t know which one I would like, I guess I would see if I could get something custom done and have it say ‘courage’, would love to have a little pearl with it too, wow, too many options to love!
Rather then make goals for the new year I find a word that I want to work toward durning the year! So I’d have a neclace w/ my word!!
I love the simple yet elegant design and I would love to give these away to my bridesmaids. I think they would make the perfect touch! :)
I LOVE Lisa’s jewelery! I’ve looked at them over and over and OVER again… I think I like this one best:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html
Just simple, reminds me of back in the day when I’d see a tree with a heart carved into it with 2 initials….
I’d put my husband and my initials on this necklace :)
Oh, I would love to win this! I have finished shopping for the kids and I want to buy myself a gift now. Hee hee!
I LOVE all of the necklaces, but I think I would have to get this ring for myself if I were to win…http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/stackable-rings.html
Hi! I stumbled upon your wonderful blog in search of unique fonts and after a year and a half I’m still coming back to see all your new stuff :)
It’s so generous of Lisa to provide 2 $50 gift certificates!! :)
I have three beautiful children and would love one of the family tree pendants! Lisa does gorgeous work! Thanks for the chance to win one! :)
I love love love the family tree. My baby turns ONE on the 25th and I would love to get a gift to celebrate that. I would spend the gift card to get one of those. :)
oh.. I really love the Jumble of Charms necklace
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/jumble-of-charms-necklace.html
I would have a really hard time deciding…even harder time deciding if I would keep it for myself.
Here’s a link to what I love, love, LOVE
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/petite-family-crest.html
Wow, I LOVE all her stuff! I especially love the family tree one. It would be the perfect Christmas gift for my mom! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for introducing me to this delightful, whimsical jewelry…just orderd my daughter’s 21st birthday keepsake and then saw the giveaway!!! I would love to bless her with yet more charms for her necklace–since she’s blessed me the past 21 years. And by the way–they’ve gone way too fast. Enjoy the journey.
WOW!! Amazing stuff! I think I would have to get the pearl earrings. They are just gorgeous. Thanks for the chance!
I would definitely pick a heart necklace for my father because he’s the most important man in my life :) My Hubby, who is the most beloved one would get one from me also.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/my-heart-necklace.html
My Christmas present to ME this year is the itty bitty hearts necklace with mine and Hubby’s intials :)
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html
I totally love the flower with the pearl. It’s so darling. I would have to get me something for me and my bestie if I won this giveaway. Thanks Amanda for the contest. :)
What adorable jewelry, and so unique. I LOVE the family tree necklace. I’d definitely spend my money on that piece. I waited a long time and struggled alot to have my two beautiful IVF babies and a necklace like this would symbolize so much.
I would buy the large initial bracelet…LOVE IT!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/bracelets/large-initial-bracelet.html
How does a girl choose when faced with so many perfect choices??? Lisa’s work is stunning, simple, sleek and elegant. She’s truly an artist. I hope I am the lucky winner!!!
Wow – thank you for the link to this etsy shop – I am IN LOVE with the FAmily Tree and thinking I really need to own this for myself and need to buy for my sisters and my two best friends Mari and Michele!
Thank you for sharing this site, I want … http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/stackable-rings.html . Perfect for me to wear when the hubby is deployed. I also found some necklaces I like for my good girl friends.
You don’t know how many times in the past two years I’ve tried to win one of Lisa’s beautiful creations. I love them all, but keep coming back to this one:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/oval-monogram-necklace.html
and I love the Family Crest.
It would be a tough decision on whether I would keep it or give it to my newly wed (May), newly expecting (June) daughter.
I really love them all. Her jewelry is just beyond gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this!
I am in love. All of her designs are beautiful, but I especially like the jumble of charms necklace.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/jumble-of-charms-necklace.html
We just had baby #2, so this would be perfect.
I totally showed the necklace to my husband. Maybe I’ll get this for Christmas or Mother’s Day.
I would get this piece http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html I adore it and I would have my two kids names or initials put on the hearts. It is such a sweet and understated piece.
Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!
How beautiful these are. I love the key with the xo, there is a special meaning to us the xo my daughter would LOVE it. WOuld make a great gift, hope I Win!!!
The lovebird necklace is so cute!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/lovebird-necklace.html
but I would love one of the custom necklaces, too…tough decisions!
It will be difficult to choose as all of the items are really nice. I think, however, that I would probably choose either the family necklace or the bracelet. We have an international family (I’m American, my husband is Canadian, and both of my children are adopted from different countires) and because of the adoptions – we do a lot to stress family unity. I think my kids (now pre-teens) especially will love that everyone’s names are on 1 piece of jewelry.
ok here is my fav http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html … but all of Lisa’s jewlery is BEAUTIFUL! It was hard to pick one thing : )-oh and this would be for me : ). thanks for the generous giveaway!
These are great. I want one with my Tanner & Sam Beau on there…my handsome dogs :) Have a great Thanksgiving!
Wow! what a win that would be!
I’ve been wanting something that says “imgarysgirl” to show the world how crazy I am about my husband!(and father our 6 children!)
wow- i am in love! i especially love the my heart necklace and would so love to give it to myself for christmas!! :) thanks!
I have loved Lisa’s stuff for a long time but have never had the money to purchase one. My favorite is the Captured Heart necklace. I would add two pearls and have it engraved with the names of my two sons.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/captured-heart-necklace.html
Those are totally adorable. I think I love every piece she has. I would actually keep it for myself, and maybe get another for my daughter. She would love them too. Thanks for the giveaway.
Lisa has amazing stuff. I would probably spend the GC on my mom. I would either choose the pearl earrings http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/cream-freshwater-pearl-earrings.html
or the little feet necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/little-feet-necklace.html
She does amazing work!!
Woweeee!! I love Lisa’s designs! I would spend the $50 on a piece for myself because i have been wanting something of hers for a long long time :) How will I ever choose which piece?!!!!
These are wonderful! I want to win! But if I don’t they will still be on my list!
OMG!!! I love love love this jewelry. I want to get the “original” for my son’s girlfriend with their names on it and there are several I like for myself. Hope I win!!!!
Oh, how I love jewelry like this. I would definitely pick out some items for my family. Or maybe I would just let them pick out something they wanted.
This is a fantastic giveaway. I would love to purchase the pearl earrings and the square bird charm necklace with my $50. :)
Oh my… too many beautiful things to choose from!
I think I love the pearl earrings too… thank you for this awesome chance to win!
So pretty-ful :-) Hard to pick just one favorite… here is my try:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/sweet-and-simple-birdie-necklace.html
And, of course, it is for me!!! Hope I win, I love Lisa’s designs.
Thanks :-D
I’d purchase a friend necklace to give to one of my best friends when we move. She’s been a wonderful support to me while we’ve lived here and I’ll miss her terribly when we PCS with the military soon.
If money were no object, there would be several must haves. But the Petite Original spoke to my heart. I love pearls and the way it lays on the small silver disk is just so dainty. Love it and Lisa’s work.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Lisa Leonard’s jewelry. Especially the new friend necklace. I’d love to get my SIL a necklace w/ her kiddos names or initials. Thanks!
I would have a hard time choosing. All the pieces are so beautiful. Maybe one for me and one for my mom.
I love the family tree piece! I would just have to get it for myself since I am a new mom so that’s how I’d spend the fifty dollars! Here’s the link I’d share about my favorite piece with family and friends: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html
Melissa
Pick just one??? I love this necklace:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html
And so many others. If I won, I think I’d have to keep it for myself ;)
I would get this!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/petite-family-crest.html
the petite family crest, and I think I just might have to keep it for myself… :)
Wow, LOVE her stuff!! My fav is the friendship necklace http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/friendship-necklace.html. Would have this personalized to say “Sister” and give it to all of my sisters (I have three). I’d love one, too! ;-)
Thanks so much for doing this giveaway!!
Ann

http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love them!! I really like the family tree necklace. Really like them all!! I would really want to spend it on myself but knowing me and with Christmas coming I would probably use it for a gift!!! Hard choices!
Love ‘em! These are beautiful! :)
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html
This is my favorite! I have the perfect person in mind for it, but I might have to order me one too! :)
I Triple LOVE Lisa’s stuff!!! She lives not far from where I grew up so when she posts photos it gives me a bit of home!!! Today is my birthday (the 24th) so it would be wonderful to win :)
I love them. Thanks for the chance to win.
Debbie
The necklaces are very beautiful and not “cheesy” like some family or inspirational jewelry. They will stay “classic” forever! I would spend it on my daughter because she won’t spend a lot on herself.
okay, so i am thinking i would TOTALLY spend this on myself on maybe….. this http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/bracelets/thin-sterling-cuff.html
i LOVEEE silver jewelry!!! and certainly hope I win!
I’m not sure, but I’m thinking I’d go with this basic necklace ~ http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/basic-rectangle-necklace.html
Oh my goodness. I absolutely love Lisa’s jewelry and ANY of the custom necklaces are GORGEOUS!!! It would take me a while to choose!!
Ooooh! I would love the tree stump with our initials on it! Beautiful jewelry!
I love her jewelery! So simple and beautiful!
I love this necklace:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/little-feet-necklace.html
