***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!

Coffee. Works wonders for most any malady.
Laura says

Usually clean closets… I’m ready to get back to my ‘real’ project pretty quick!

I take my dog for a walk.

Block Me!
Coffee. When all else fails, coffee inspires.
Christina says
Block Me! I always tell my students to do what I do when I have writer’s block….either a quick walk around the neighborhood, dancing around my living room to music from the early 90’s, or a word search/crossword puzzle. Some combination of those three activities works everytime!
Jessica says
BLOCK ME!!
I like to get out of the house and take a walk to get inspiration.

“Block Me”
Sorry, writers block…..:)
heathermax says
BLOCK ME
If I get blocked, I will put down what ever I am working on and pick up something different. Sometimes just the change will refresh my creativity.
Mindi says
Block me! I have to walk away when writer’s block sets in. Sometimes, I have to not think about it and just sleep for a night and start again with a cup of coffee in the morning.
catherine says
BLOCK ME!!
I like to do yoga to help me focus– or set a timer– to give me a time limit
Erin H says
BLOCK ME…please! I usually go somewhere with a lot of distractions, like a busy and loud coffee shop. Somehow the stimulation helps me focus.

Natalie G says
Block Me!
The only cure for writers block, for me, is procrastination. Once the pressure of a deadline hits, I come to life.
Marisa says
BLOCK ME… get up, walk around and so some stretches. It’s all about loosening up.

To overcome a creative block I like to go shopping (especially at Home Sense) and I find that usually helps me!
“BLOCK ME”
DemMom says
BLOCK ME! When I have writer’s block I take a break, then start writing whatever comes to mind, on paper in longhand. Somehow, when I get back to the keyboard, it usually comes… even if it’s not exactly what I wrote on paper.
Kelley says
BLOCK ME! Busting through a ‘block’ in creativity depends on the type of block. Some of the things that have worked for me in the past:
– shopping (places like Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Ikea or online at Etsy seem to knock me out of my funk pretty well!)
– rearranging furniture very often jolts me out of any sluggishness.
– looking through old journals, wish-books, papers sometimes reminds me of long-forgotten projects, instincts, premonitions, ideas.
– and lastly, reading some of my favorite blogs! Like yours, of course, or Making it Lovely, or Pioneer Woman or A Life’s Design or Apartment Therapy!
Rachel says

Block Me!!
Lori says
Block me, please.
I run. I’m a graphic designer and am often called on to be creative even when the mood doesn’t strike. Some of my best creative solutions have come out of a long run.
Vicki says
Block Me Please!
I always find that tidying up the house and cleaning my desk out helps combat the writers block. Or it could just be that I’m procrastinating… :0)

BLOCK ME!
I like to look at other creative blogs for inspiration.

Wren says
BLOCK ME!
Stop what I am doing and get outside for a while. Sure way to revive dead creativity.
Jacqueline says
Block me! Walking around the block to get some fresh air — or perspective helps, whether I’m at home or at work, when I have writer’s block.

BLOCK ME!
I like to walk away and come back to an idea later. It usually works.
Kelsey says

With writer’s block, I normally have to switch gears and get another quick project done, one that doesn’t require writing. After accomplishing that, I normally have the willpower to start writing again.

Block Me!
The best way for me to overcome a mental block is to do something else. When I come back to it, I normally have a better idea of how to progress.

BLOCK ME
I just walk away and do something else for a little while.
