***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!!
My sophomore English teacher taught us to just put your pen to the paper & start writing…anything… even if it’s just scribbles. Eventually your brain will catch up with your fingers. Surprisingly it worked for me.

Playing with my fur babies always relaxes me and then when I get back to the computer, the creative juices just flow all on their own! usually.
Gotta love those puppies.
Debbie says
BLOCK ME!!
I play with my 2 year old daughter. (I actually use any excuse I can think of to play with her, especially on the swings!) Being with her makes me forget whatever was blocking or bothering me and helps me relax and start fresh.

Block Me
I play video games or in other words shut off my brain
Loren says
BLOCK ME
I’m a ‘walk away come back in a minute’. Even if that is just long enough to get a cup of tea, or a glass of water, or long enough to do the dishes. I stay hydrated and the house stays clean when I hit a creative block.
Kristin says

BLOCK ME!
I have a playlist of all instrumental music that I like to put on when I’m working, whether it be on writing, reading, or art. The music gets me in the groove, but there aren’t any words to distract me even subconsciously. It’s a win-win!

I look at webpages, watch tv, talk with co-workers. Get my mind focused on something else and then inspiration strikes…hopefully!
JessG says
BLOCK ME!
Weirdly enough, I uusally take a shower – I guess the relaxation of the water is enough to usually give me the inspiration I need!!
Amanda says
BLOCK ME!
It’s all about location for me. Sometimes things are too quiet and I need to switch to someplace more interesting, like a coffee shop, to get things done. At other times I need total silence and I’ll travel far to get it. In college I would sometimes wander from building to building until I found the perfect spot to work. Kinda sounds like a form of procrastination but it was just pickiness.
kristine says
BLOCK ME!!!
When I have a blog-block it usually helps if I find something funny. Cakewrecks, Seinfeld, 30 Rock . . . whatever. I must laugh to let myself get back in the saddle :-) !
Ris says

I love this advice a prof once gave me: stop when you’re on a roll. You’ll always be itching to get back to it.

These are beautiful!
Amanda L. says
BLOCK ME!
I always have writers block. I just start typing whatever is in my head and edit down most of it to sound ok. If I can’t start writing at all, I will try exercise or taking the laptop outside.
