***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
This next giveaway came to us as a nursery-themed giveaway, but personally we think Numsi‘s uniquely mod art is suitable for walls of any age. Their contemporary patterns (or custom text) is printed on canvas and then mounted on a 2″ deep birch museum frame to give it some modern dimension and bring some pop to you art collection.
Plus, since the deep birch plywood cradle makes these blocks of art so sturdy, they can hang on the wall, sit on a shelf or anchor your latest mantlescape. So have some fun browsing their collection of animals and vehicles or patterns and text, because one of you is taking away a $100 credit towards anything on Numsi’s site this week (and the rest of you are taking away a sweet discount).
Here’s how to enter this week:
- PRIZE: $100 towards anything from Numsi.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BLOCK ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … since we’re referencing writer’s block, why not share a tip that you use to overcome any creativity or productivity block. Do you go someplace special to help you focus? Got an mental exercise to get your juice flowing again? Or do just go do something else and hope the motivation finds you again later.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 19th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: Worldwide
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

BLOCK ME!
If I’m having a creative block, trying to keep working just makes it worse. I generally like to go take a walk, or cook something to try to get past it.

BLOCK ME…
I usually clean! A tidy house helps bring everything into order for me. (also helps me procrastinate just a teeny bit) =)
Jessica says
BLOCK ME
I look through blogs or HGTV.com…and search for inspiration (i also walk away from my desk and find some chocolate too ;) )
Alicia says
BLOCK ME!
I usually go for a walk or do something else that has nothing in common with my actual task – inspiration is everywhere and the best ideas usually pop up totally unexpected!
Kate says
BLOCK ME
I was a journalist in my previous career, so I had plenty of writer’s block. I found that getting away from the project by going for a run, short hike or walking my dog helped. Also, I’d look to journalism sites that had examples of good articles for inspiration or to get me motivated. So, in short – look to what inspires you.
Julie says
BLOCK ME!
Looking at the view over fields from my bedroom window gives me inspiration.

To get over a productivity block, I actually just do something else. Oddly enough, when I get involved in another activity the thing I was stumped on just comes to me!

Bonnie says
BLOCK ME
I have to say my ideas out loud to another person. Then I’m usually unstuck. Otherwise, I just go find some chocolate. It may not unblock my brain, but at least I’m happier about it!

Who has time to write with two little kids in the house? Not me!
Heather Beals says

I’m not really a writer, but when I need inspiration for my sewing, I always watch Much Ado about Nothing. I love the crisp white gowns they wear and it always leaves me feeling happy and wanting to create.
