***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

Miss Carey says
BLOCK ME
To break my writer’s block, I turn on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and make a pot of tea.
If this won’t help, I type all the phrases that come to mind concerning what I’m writing, and leave the computer for the next morning. Then, with teapot, teacup, and Vivaldi, I look at my notes and tackle it anew. The theory/goal is that if I can define what I’m writing and create sentences out the notes I’ve jotted, I can bridge the chasm of “What-On-Earth-Am-I-Doing?”
If I’m short for time, I do something completely different and then come back 20mins to an hour later…
