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.

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. :)

I love the jewelry….my daughter and I just spent some time looking at all of the beautiful pieces! Couldn’t decide on just one…I forwarded the link to her….maybe we will get each other a piece for Christmas!
I just love Lisa’s designs!
I would have trouble deciding on something for myself, so I think I’d get a baby spoon for each of my sons:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/baby-s-first-spoon.html
They are an adorable keepsake!
I LOVE these! I would pick something for my mom for sure…that is if I can part with whatever it is I choose! :) Thanks for a great giveaway!
To be honest, I’ll give it to my husband so he can buy me a gift. For 8 of the last 10 Christmases he’s given me jewelry in this price range and style, but for the last 2 we couldn’t afford to exchange gifts. I’m making him something special this year but he won’t have time to do that in return. I’ve had that family tree necklace on my wish list for more than a year! Love LLD! Thanks
I adore the “Be Still” necklace, but if I won I would give it to my best friend. She loves jewelry with little birds on it.
These necklaces are adorable…it would be hard to decide! I’m going to be a grandmother for the first time and it would be wonderful to be able to have the new baby’s name on a lovely piece of jewelry! I would probably give it to my daughter-in-law! Diane
If I won, I would probably get this for my sister:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html
She loves necklaces and she loves birds, so it would be perfect!
I would definitely get something for my friend and mom-to-be Ashley. Looks just like something she would wear! Beautiful
Beautiful stuff! I love the style – I would definitely use it for gifts – my mother would absolutely love a necklace with the the grandchildren’s names!!
You have the cutest giveaways! I love these!!! Very cute.
I would definitely purchase this and keep for myself!…
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/tiny-squares-necklace.html
I just had my first baby so I think I would put his first name on one and his middle name on the other…or his first name on one and our dog’s name on the other…or his first name on one and my husband’s name on the other…tough one! I’ve seen her work before and it’s amazing. I had this necklace as one of the items I wanted my husband to get me for my birthday.
BTW – I found your blog a year or so ago I think after I saw your bostons on Little Beasts. I then continued to check in after I saw y’all were Auburn fans. War Eagle! Love your recipe section of your blog and your beautiful pictures.
I would love to win! Those are simply gorgeous. I would most likely give it to my future mother in law! ;) hee hee
I would buy something for my mil with the names of her grandkids- she is so tough to shop for!
I absolutely LOVE this jewelry!! I can’t decide if I will do something for myself (leaning this way) or for my sister! Thank you for this awesome giveaway!
Wow, beautiful jewelry! It’s so hard to pick a favorite! But I would definitely keep one for myself and give my mother a gift, we are both great fans of hand stamped jewelry! :) Thanks for the chance to win!
I love so much of this jewelry. One of my favorites is the Open Circle necklace.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/stackable-rings.html
Here’s a link to the one I want. Love it!
I just died over the family tree! I just had our sweet little third girl last week. I’d love to have a fun new family necklace for my girls!
These pieces are so beautiful – they have a glow about them! I love the friends necklace with the sweet flowers: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/friendship-necklace.html. Hard to say if I could part with the gift certificate – I’d have to keep it for myself :op
I love her style too. The family tree necklace has got to be the best. As much as i wouldlike to buy, i would give it to my mom. :)
I can’t decide what piece I love more. They are all so beautiful. I would definitely buy myself something if I won the gift certificate.
Amanda,
I love your site and your fabulous recipes! The jewelry on here is amazing. I hope I win!
Kim H
I love the Family Tree Necklace, and also the Friend necklace. I would give it to my best friend, once I decided on which one!
Thanks for the link.
I love Lisa’s stuff! It is beautiful!
I especially love this… http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/sweetheart-tree-necklace.html
how cute is that little tree?!
What a great give-away. I have admired Lisa’s jewelry for a while now. If I won, I think I’d use the gift certificate toward something for myself (today is my birthday).
Probably this one since it reminds me of one of my favorite
Bible verses.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html
OH my! That would take some time it’s all so cute!
I really like the bird necklace you had pictured http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html but I like the Christmas ornaments, too! Thanks for the great giveaway! ;)
I loved everything on Lisa’s site. I think I like the “jumble of charms” necklace the most. http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/jumble-of-charms-necklace.html
I think I would have to keep this one for myself :)
I wish I had more time to shop – what a great store. I know for sure I’d love a Mommy necklace, like this:http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/sweet-daisy-necklace.html
:)
Love this site! I’m such a sucker for the silver family oriented items, however I LOVE the “be still” necklace: http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html – amazing! Great giveaway! MEEP!
I would give an initial necklace and probably get the earrings for me! Thanks for the chance. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
i love the friend one! if i would win i might get a gift for someone since the holidays are coming! however, the family tree charms are sooo sweet!
Wow! Thanks for the opportunity!
I’d definitely go shopping for me! and this is what I’d pick
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html
As much as I would love to pretend that I would use this gift certificate on someone else, that would be a lie. I have been wanting a necklace like the tiny squares necklace ( http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/tiny-squares-necklace.html ) since I had kids. Somehow hubby hasn’t gotten the hint yet. :) Thanks for the chance!
YIKES! Doubtful I have a chance of winning with 400+ comments, but I’ll give it a go. I’m typically not a jewelry person. It’s not that I don’t want to be, I just don’t have time to find my style in jewelry. However, Lisa’s jewelry is truly amazing!!! If I won, I would purchase jewelry as gifts to my bride-to-be friends. I am in 3 weddings this Spring, yes, 3…it would be such a beautiful and thoughtful gift.
These are really cute(: i would love to have one.!
love the pearl earrings(: for me, haha
All the jewelry is beautiful! It is so hard to pick one favorite! I love birds though, so I think I would pick this one http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html . I would probably keep it for myself because I have such a hard time finding necklaces I like. Thanks for the link!!
These are beautiful! I would love the mama necklace!
I would have to keep this one myself, I love her designs.
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/wish-necklace.html
TFS!
Great site to send us all to! Love the family tree item you have included in your blog. What a great piece! Thanks!!!!
too many to chose from! i love them all!!
If I won, I would buy something YUMMY with it ;) I LOVE jewelry!!! Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
I have been a longtime Lisa Leonard fan (before she got popular, if there was even such a time!) I was going to say the “Wish” necklace for myself, cuz I’ve only ever given her beautiful items as gifts and thought it was about time for one for me :)
But then I kept coming back to the “I hold your heart in mine” necklace (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/my-heart-necklace.html) and just fell in love with it for my sister.
She was able to spend 25 hours with her beautiful Baby Gracie before Gracie took the hands of her angels. And this necklace would perfectly describe how she keeps Gracie with her everyday.
So beautiful! Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!
These pieces remind me of “conversation” jewelry. They are unique enough to be a conversation starter. I would have to keep this one -> http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/be-still-necklace.html for me! Beautiful jewelry!
I love the friendship necklace and the keychains too! I’d probably have to keep whatever I got for myself…just too cute to give away.
I absolutely love everything on Lisa’s website! Such precious things…I would definetly want to give my mom the family tree necklace!
I am dying to win one of these necklaces! I’d love to get the Laundry Line necklace. I hate to be selfish but I’d keep it for myself!
I absolutely LOVE the family tree necklace…it is SO sweet! Gorgeous stuff!!!
pretty sure that her jewelry has been on my wish list forever! she is so talented & her stuff is darling. love it!
Thank you so much for bringing to our attention these beautiful pieces of jewelery….great ideas for Christmas!!!
Hey I love your blog, it is the best! If I had 50 extra I would take my family out to a night at the movies, since it is so expensive to go anymore! I hope I win, wish me luck!

Pioneer Women made a post about Lisa’s jewelry a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I’m definitely not super-girlie but this jewelry has the perfect amount of substance too it but is still feminine. I would love to get a necklace for myself as well as my mom, she never gets any jewelry and it would make an awesome Christmas present for her.
I really love the earrings, but I would probably use the gift cert. for a Christmas gift for my mom (the family tree one) as I still have yet to get her something.
Wow very pretty I love everything I see…lol It is a toss for me. I like the family tree necklace cause I like Geneolgy. But would probley get the personalized key chains cause yesterday we put a offer in on a home and we got it. (Super excited but yet nervous….lol) With it being our first home to own would love a mememto key chain for our first home.
Thank you so much for the chance to win! These are beautiful, although I’d feel selfish I think I might just have to spend it on myself, it’s usually my kids or husband getting spoiled, so I think this time it would have to be my turn, and I think I would definately get the family tree neclace. Again thank you, I love your site.
Hmm… so hard to choose…
The friendship necklace is very cute, but I also love all the birds. I’m in a bird phase at the moment. Honestly… I’d wear any of them though. Great giveaway!
These are so darling. I would give the gift to my daughter. I would choose “be still” or “sweet & simple birdie” necklace. Thank you!!!
I love Lisa’s designs & gave one of her necklaces to each of our daughters last year for Christmas. They loved them!
My favorite right now is the Friendship Necklace:
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/friendship-necklace.html
I would give it to my college roommate–we’ve been friends since 1963.
Happy Thanksgiving, Amanda!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/itty-bitty-hearts-necklace.html
This has to be my favorite!
goodness gracious! I LOVE her work! :)
I like the sweetheart tree myself…and would SO keep it! :)
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/sweetheart-tree-necklace.html
Oh.. there are so many nice things to choose… I’d choose one for my sister who has a wonderful little 2 year old – something sweet for her to have to remind her of him whilst she is at work.
Sooo cute! I would get the family crest one for my best friend who is about to get married.
Gosh, such stunning jewellery it’s difficult to pick a favourite! At a push I would have to say it’s the family tree necklace (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/family-tree-necklace.html). I would, however, spend the $50 on 2 of the baby’s first spoons (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/other-sweet-things/baby-s-first-spoon.html) as I have recently had twins! Good luck everyone :o)
LOVE the family tree necklace!
These are beautiful! I would most likely get the family tree necklace or the be still necklace. They are all amazing though…so hard to pick just one! Thanks Amanda for the amazing site!
I would use it on the family tree necklace! I LOVE it!
OMG! I so want the fly free necklace (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/fly-free-necklace.html) and the family tree necklace, and the little feet necklace (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/little-feet-necklace.html). OK, really I just want them ALL! They are so cute!
I LOVE her jewelry! I will definetely be using her for Christmas this year ;) If I had $50 I would use it to buy some things from her. The family tree necklace is my favorite and I can’t decide if I would keep it for myself or give it to my mother-in-law.
Oooo pick me PLEASE!! I love love love the pearl earings, it’s going to be very hard not to use the gift card on me :)! Thanks for doing the give-a-ways!!!
Okay, Amanda… You convinced me. :-) If I were to win the prize, I would purchase the adorable teenie tiny initials necklace (http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/teenie-tiny-initials-necklace.html) for my mom. She’s always mentioned wanting a necklace representing her four girls, and I think this would be perfect! :-)
I loved so many of her pieces…I can’t decide! But I do have to say the family tree necklace really stole my heart…it’s so beautiful!
I bought supplies a while back to attempt to make some of these on my own, but never have tackled it. I have admired them for a long, long time. Her designs are unique and everyone seems to love them!! Thanks for giveaway :)
I love the little whimsical birds! My fav! She is so creative!
I love that family tree necklace. I have been working on my family tree since 1993! No kidding!
I love the family tree! What a cute idea… I would definitely get one for my sweet mama who has always put us kids first. **HAPPY THANKSGIVING**
Oh how I would love to win this. The petite family crest is my favorite!!
These pieces are gorgeous! If I won, I would spend my gift certificate spoiling my little sister. She totally deserves it, especially after the year she has had. Little luxuries are not something she can do for herself right now, so this big sister would do it for her.
Wow, so many amazing pieces to choose from! I love the Family Tree and the Paper Lantern necklaces! Thanks!!
So hard to decide! For now I have it narrowed down to 3, all necklaces—captured heart, jumble of charms and my heart. I guess if I win, I will have a decision to make! Darn!
love her things; just beautiful!
Beatiful and unique! Thanks for the awesome find :)
omigosh! Lisa’s designs are simply stunning! I just love them all! but if I had to choose… I’d play the selfish card and keep this one for myself!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/sweet-and-simple-birdie-necklace.html
soooo cute. and perfectly simple! love reading the blog and all the great ideas. love the bird themed necklaces. fingers crossed that one will be coming my way!
Oh my! I can not believe how beautiful some of her stuff is! Love the one with the flowers….no wait, the one with the key…nope, I LOVE them all!! So creative!
My second baby is due on Christmas and one of these adorable charm necklaces with my little one’s names would be the perfect gift. :) Love them!!
I love this website, in fact I asked the ladies at Lisa Leonard to make personalized charms for my volleyball girls on my volleyball team. If I won, I would put the $50 toward the pearl earrings for myself…I love them so!
Think I am in love with the friend necklace :) over 400 entries later I think I will be unrequited love! Loving your blog btw x
I LOVE this one! http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/mama-necklace.html
I would so it keep it for myself, because I’ve been wanting something like this for soo long!!
Wow! I just love the whimsical flowers with “friend” on the back. This is a PERFECT gift for my childhood friend’s birthday this week. She loves sterling silver jewelry as I do! What else to buy with the certificate…well, of course, one of each! Thanks for giving us a chance to win and for introducing another winning artist’s works!
love, love, love it :)
Thank you for in turning us on to that website. I LOVE everything there. I really like the family tree and would love to get it for my mother. What a generous give away!
All of her pieces are so beautiful but I would really really like to win the Family Tree necklace so give to my mom this year for Christmas. This is a tough year for my husband and I and we are very low on funds for Christmas and for the 1st time will not be able to purchase gifts so I am going to make my own gifts by creating wonderful baskets with my homemade chocolates but I would really love to present this to my mom for all the help and love she has always shown us!
Thank you so much for the chance to win such beauty and Happy Turkey Day!

If I won the $50, I’d buy a pair of earrings for my mother-in-law for Christmas. I just know she’d love Lisa’s jewelry.
I love them!!!Very cute! I would love to win!
I love her site. I would love this, http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/inspired-designs/friendship-necklace.html for myself!
I have been in LOVE with this style of jewelery forever and just haven’t been able to afford a piece (or been gifted one). I would love to win this give-away! :)
I love them all, but this one is beautiful!
http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/open-circle-necklace.html
As a fellow Alabamian, I love reading your site.
As far as the jewelry goes – love it! Probably get my Mom something with the gift certificate.
Thanks and keep writing!
I love love love the key with the XO! How adorable!
They are all so unique and beautiful!! I would have to say my favorite though is the flowers with the pearl. It’s dainty, girlie, yet fun at the same time! If I win, I will keep me for myself… :) I like it too much to give away!
I sooooo love them! I would love have the family tree necklace!!! I’m just not sure if all 5 kids would fit on it. Not to mention my best friend would love the friend necklace, how beautiful!
