  1. I just bought myself for my bday your captured heart necklace and it really “captured” my heart. LOVE IT! The paper lanterns are super cute, too!!! I have never seen that anywhere else! xoxo

  2. I am glowing because I am slowly learning how to embrace the brave lovely bliss that is my life as mama to three kids, wife of a wonderful husband, and woman coming into her own.

    I LOVE your jewelry and would love to win!

  3. Today the bounty at our local farmer’s market is making me glow. We saw awesome organic vegetables, ate homemade donuts and drank locally roasted coffee. YUM!

  4. I am glowing today because my whole family is home and we are moving about slowly. No rushing about – only enjoying each other’s company. It is one of my very favorite things! Hearing the conversations of my children and my husband, and it is beginning to rain…very peaceful!
    Sincerely ~ Tricia Anne
    Ps. I asked “Santa” for the bird/cage necklace, for Christmas. :o)

  5. yes, my beautiful family brings the glow….the fact that they are all sleeping and i am submersed in blogland enriching my me time with the beauty of blogs like yours!! thanks so much. 😉

  6. I am glowing today because after being laid off for over a year, and my husband being laid off for the last 4 months, I started the photography business of my dreams and can finally provide for my family. I am so grateful for new beginnings!

  7. My sense of glowing is perhaps very different from others. Since the death of our baby son, Will, I find a heart that tries to glow in the darkest time is fighting that darkness with hope. When I saw this necklace it made me glow…Because by wearing it, it can be the family portrait that only exists in my constant thoughts…since our littlest family member is in heaven. This necklace offers a glimpsing glow of the family that I quietly carry in my heart.

  8. My 7 kids make me glow. They are all great kids, help others, love their mommy, and are a blessing all around. My 4 grandkids add to the glow, and the fact that another is due in February.

  9. What makes me glow: My sweet baby boy smiling at me as I type.
    What makes me giddy: The thought of winning one of these gorgeous necklaces.

  10. Yesterday’s glow was seeing the look on my now 5 year old daughter’s face when she saw her birthday balloon (that I bought on a whim at the $1 store the night before) at her breakfast chair and the exclamation that “this is my bestest birthday – Mama it is going to be a GREAT day”. It made me laugh inside and out and reminded me how a child can delight in the smallest of things we can give them! As to a future glow – Mama would delight in winning your latest creation – the lanterns are beautiful!

  11. I’m glowing from all of the Christmas open houses in our quaint little town tonight! What a joy to walk into the beautifully decorated shops, see all the Christmas products,on sale, sip some cider and listen to the carolers on the street. The Christmas season is here and I intend to enjoy every moment!!! You’re new designs are so beautiful…just like every other one you’ve done!!! Stunning!

  12. Glowing today inside and out because I am so very blessed. Blessed with two lovely daughters, a very kind husband, and a beauty that surrounds me that I SO do not deserve. Giving thanks!!

    (I LOVE THESE NEW DESIGNS!!! Ow ow!)

  13. My glow is spending time with my parents and children- watching the grandparent/grandkids interaction. We live so far apart….different countries…. it makes this glow so much more special.

  14. I’m glowing that my dear friend, who went into pre-term labor, 2 weeks ago is still growing her baby boy inside and is now home on bed rest. Her glow is so much brighter in her own home.

  15. The fact that I have friends who, even though I live far away from (all of them!), I can still just text them or post a little blurb through the interwebs to them when I’m having a not-so-glowing day. Just telling them “Man my day sucked” makes me feel better because I know they care about me, and they show it. It’s nice when people make sure you know they care about you. The people in my life are what make me glow today, and every day.

  16. My daughter, she doesn’t know how to write yet, but she has just written me a book of squiggles listing all the things that make “Momma Special,” her book is 15 pages long and double-sided! It has put a smile on my face that is definitely making me glow.

  17. Cleaning out the garden and preparing it for it’s winter rest. We had a great time digging in the dirt, looking for worms and throwing rocks into a pile.

  18. What makes me glow every day is being a mom to my two daughters from China, something I never thought I’d get to be. I feel thankful every single day for my children, and OH I love this necklace! We all love paper lanterns and these are SO cute!

  19. What makes me glow is watching my kids experience life….my daughter is into everything about going to school, she just loves it. My son is voicing his opinion alot now that he realizes he has one and seeing them learn new things….

  20. Army daughter will be home for Christmas . . . . I can’t wait to HER glowing face when she hugs her 4 year old son for the first time in 4 months. I know that I will be glowing with happiness to see her as well!

  21. I am glowing because we’ll soon (well, next year) be the parents of a baby girl from Rwanda! That will be our third child – just right for three lanterns. They’re adorable (the kids and the lanterns!).

  22. I’m glowing because I get to spend everyday with my wonderful 22 month old. Her smile, curiosity and love for life is most amazing. I’m lucky to have her!

  23. Oh my! Your work is amazing!

    Today I’m glowing watching my son spend hours with a yellow legal pad and pencil. Drawing away. Sticking the pencil behind his ear to be like daddy. I’m thankful to be instilling in him creativity.

  24. Love your blog! I am glowing because we get to go to Disneyland tomorrow with our 3 grandkids. Charlotte is the most excited about meeting the princesses in her Aurora dress that I made her.
    Can’t wait to see her face as she enters the magic kingdom at 4 years of age.

  25. My babes make me GLOW with PRIDE! My 4 year old is writing and spelling up a storm, while my 2 year old is learning that anything my 4 year can do, he can do too!!! :o)

  26. My sweet daughter. She’s adopted from China and I’m Chinese, too, so these little lanterns are so appropriate for us. What a darling necklace.

  27. I love the necklace. Spending time with my 3 sweet little boys always makes me glow. The upcoming holiday season also make me glow.

  28. Today I am inside with a little 4 year old girl who is fighting a cold. Remembering to relax and enjoy all of the little things. Looking forward to the Holidays. Loving time spent with family. That is what makes me “glow”.

  29. I glow because I feel so good today, and the past few days have just been a bit on the downside. And it’s weekend in a few minutes, and a free weekend it is (instead of the past 8 weeks). So yes, glowing it is!

  30. I glow knowing that my children are healthy and happy. Their laughter, drawings, dances, and dress-up outfits make me glow each day. I didn’t realize it until the word glow was mentioned but that is what in fact makes me glow. Watching them grow and glow.

  31. I am glowing today because I am lucky to have a great family, my health and my beautiful daughter who makes me laugh so many times daily.

  32. I am glowing because I am married to a wonderful man and blessed to parent an amazing child through the gift of adoption. I am so thankful.

  33. I am glowing because I can finally have a little rest and spend time with my lovely family after finishing my first two stomach flippy exams 🙂 I love the necklace Lisa xx

  34. My son’s laughter makes me glow today.Today I opened one of my favorite boxes in my house: X-mas ornaments! I know, I am guilty of holiday anxiety but I couldn’t help it :). My nine month old son loved the ornaments and couldn’t stop laughing at his reflection on the bright spheres…

  35. Yoga with my friends in their home as be find a little bliss in our every day and I find a lot of glow as my girls buzz with excitement to bedeck the house for the holidays!!! Don’t stand still you might really glow in our house as they festoon you!!!

  36. I’m literally “glowing” right now because it’s been a hectic day of chauffeuring kids to babysitting & youth group, squeezing in supper after picking the car up from the shop, keeping a lid on the craziness at work and remembering to take the garbage out to the street tonight! But my internal glow is because in a couple of hours, my teenagers will all be quiet in their rooms, my hubby will be home from Elder’s meeting and we can laugh about our days over a cup of tea before turning out the lights. I love my sweetheart – we’ve been married 23 1/2 years and I can’t wait for another few decades of growing – and glowing – together.

  37. Wow! These are super cute! Today I’m glowing because my baby boy is days away from crawling for the first time. I’m so proud of him and all that he’s learning.

  38. glowing today because I”m 5 months pregnant with baby girl #2! and because my 2.5 yr old daughter brings such joy (and craziness) to my life.
    Love the new lantern necklaces!

  39. I am glowing today because after many weeks of doctor’s telling me that I may be disabled for life with a spinal fluid leak, I received a phone call from a specialist that disagrees. She told me that she believes that I can be cured and still live a good life as a mother and teacher. She gave me hope! Today is a GREAT day!

  40. when i woke up this morning, I laid there for just a minute to smell my little girls breath….no matter how stinky 🙂 She is PERFECT!!!

  41. i am glowing with morning sickness. it might sound strange, but i just had a miscarriage, and the sickness from this new life in me really is making me glow with happiness.

  42. I’m glowing today because I know the holidays will be special. I have an 11 yr. old & 13 yr. old. We have perfected the art of a not-too-much holiday. This equals a little time with family, a little time with friends, a little time for each other & not too many things.

    Enjoy yours!

  43. I am a student teacher and had to tell my students that my last day is fast approaching. They really made my day and put a smile on my face when they told me that I couldn’t leave and asked if I could just stay until the end of the year. The students are why I do this!!! Great lanterns! Thanks for your fantastic giveaways!

  44. Having a day off to be home with my kids. The simple things….staying in our p.j’s all day…baking chocolate chip cookies and licking the beaters. It was a great day!

  45. My 39 year old husband getting baptized on Sunday – what a blessing! And I would be lying if I didn’t also say the feeling of empty dirty clothes baskets, and it being all washed, folded AND put away….that makes me glow too!!

  46. The conversation my 3 year-old had with the nurse on the phone today while I was in the bathroom…..
    child: “Hello?”
    nurse: “Where’s your mommy?”
    child: lots of jibberish followed by Mommy’s in the bathroom and my brother is crying.

    I finally get to the phone to say how sorry I am and the nurse just laughed and said it was really cute. I think she was entertaining his conversation to make sure a mommy was really there. LOL!

    Everything happens when you go to the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!11

  47. i’m glowing because of one of my former students and i had a great heart-to-heart conversation yesterday. this week is the anniversary of his mom’s death 6 years ago from cancer. when i visited her in the hospital, i promised her i would always look after her son. now a young adult, he has made good choices in his life, and i believe his mom would be proud. he carries her in his heart, we all do, like a little beacon of light. she said, “its never goodbye, its just see you later.” those lanterns are like her, little beacons of light.

  48. skyping! w. my hubby- who is over in Iraq…deployed. (: he called/we skyped…sigh.
    i miss him. love this necklace idea- so happy feeling to me. the lanterns.

  49. I’m glowing today because my 3-yr-old daughter, Isabelle and I just discovered the organization Charity: Water (http://www.charitywater.org) and decided to each take some money from our piggy banks and give a donation. We had a great conversation about children who don’t have clean water. Giving is great!

  50. My new baby Allie–whose name I’d love to put on one of these! I love her sleepy little head tucked up under my chin . . .

  51. I am glowing today, as I hold my 3 week old son and cherish every moment with him, while looking forward to introducing him to more family members over the Thanksgiving holiday. A lot to be thankful for this year. And, the baby’s room just happens to be decorated with…..paper lanterns!

  52. What’s making me glow? The feeling of GRATITUDE for all of the things I’ve been blessed with in my life… the list is endless… but I can say it’s the {small} things in life that make it so {GRAND}!

  53. Yesterday a pair of the fuzziest, coziest, softest red plaid pyjamas found me while shopping at the grocery store, of all places. There was one medium size left … just right for me. When I wore them last night they were a magnet for hugs, cuddles and perfect for warming up cold sheets. I was in high demand, let me tell you!
    I just walked past my bedroom door and saw them laying on my bed and my face lit up cause I can’t wait to wear them again tonight!

  54. Hi Lisa! I am glowing today because today is the last day of my isolation my family and I have had to endure due to my thyroid cancer treatment I received last Friday. Being a Mom, you know hard it’s been to be away from my babies, Katie 8 years and Matthew 22 months. I am working around my energy boosts today to get ready for my babies to come home tomorrow and I’m so excited! Thanks for considering me for this beautiful necklace giveaway you’re doing! I love it! Thanks!! 🙂

  55. I’m glowing from celebrating my oldest’s ninth birthday yesterday. She is a sweetheart and just oozed excitement and joy at turning nine. A fun day for the whole family.

  56. Quite honestly what’s making me glow are the new Lisa Leonard necklaces I have worn continuously since receiving them in early September. At the moment I’m wearing the fly. necklace you created. Most often I wear the open circle necklace, but also love, love, love, my teenie tiny initials necklace. Thank you for creating such special pieces that make others glow!

  57. These are adorable. What a great idea for a gift for my mother-in-law. she goes to china often and I’m thinking I need to win this for her!! Either way – it is on my wishlist. Wore my bird/cage necklace the past few days and got lots of compliments on it – from strangers too. Told them about your lovely website and blog.

  58. seeing pictures of my 4 week old niece – she is adorable. thank goodness for digital cameras and blogs! can’t wait til i see her in person.

  59. The thought of my siblings and their families traveling to be with us over the Thanksgiving holiday. Days of fun and reconnecting. I just love and miss them so much! Can’t wait!

  60. Believe it or not… washing dishes with candles aglow on the windowsill while listening to the Thanksgiving collection by Wyndham Hill on cd ~ my favorite music of the season.

    Blessings, Patti

  61. The knowledge and focus on things that I am thankful for – I wish I spent more time outside of the Thanksgiving season giving thanks for the things in my life!

  62. That I can actually SEE the light(lantern light?)at the end of the tunnel! It has been a rough, to put it mildly, 4 years. Your lanterns remind my of the ones I have hanging in my granddaughters room and those make me smile every time I pass by!
    Thank you for your upbeat, honest and spiritually lifting blog entries. Also for always answering a question!!

  63. I love, love, love your jewelry..

    Thanks for sharing a chance at one of your new fun charms!

  65. the other day i noticed a sweet bunny nestled under the bush right outside my office window~now i get up a zillion times a day to peek at him. i am glad he chose that spot,makes me smile!

  66. i’m glowing today because i taught my class yesterday and was able to inspire so many great ladies…this made my week 😀

  68. i am glowing because not only will our family welcome one little one this winter we will be welcoming two! how exciting to see our family grow!

  69. This new design is so unique. I love it!
    Currently, completely my workout makes me glow. Other things that make me glow are connecting with my children, date night with my husband, and the amazing grace of God.

  70. What’s making me glow?
    1) Finding out that I can graduate in 3.5 years (instead of 4) which means I’ll graduate DEBT-FREE!!!
    2) The amazing, amazing school I go to that I love so much
    3) How many friend I have immediately around me who I love so much
    4) The Skype conversation I had last night with my parents and sister, and the loud, off-key Dixie Chicks song my sister and I sang to make my parents laugh 🙂

    What’s making me glow?
    Happiness!

  71. How adorable! I’m planning to have lanterns at my May wedding and also thinking of getting my girls a necklace, how perfect! One of my girls and I call each other “Ching” — how cute would that look on this?!

  72. 3 things make me glow today:
    My beautiful girls
    My gorgeous husband coming home tonight after spending time away for work
    The grace of God -getting me through all the tough times and enjoying the good times with me

  73. I am glowing because I graduate nursing school in one month….ONE MONTH! After a five-year journey I would say that is worth celebrating!

  75. I am glowing because after many years of heartache after losing my precious son, I have truly found happiness in a wonderful man! God is good to me!

  77. It is 4:30am…I am up with an influenzafied 11-month…so why am I glowing? I get to hold him and cuddle him! I feel really blessed and content with him in my arms…

  78. Today I had a wonderful afternoon outing with my 4 year old daughter (a bit of Mommy and me time without sister baby) and a bit of quiet time with the baby when we returned home. I also have an anticipatory glow because tomorrow my husband returns from deployment! Hooray!

  79. There is a small little light, that wakes up before the sun comes up and speaks to my heart in words that few can understand. There is a little light that follows me and watches every move I make. There is a little light that was hoped and prayed for, for a very long time. This little light is my son, Matthew. He makes me glow.

  80. Love the new design!

    My glow comes from the knowledge that God is working through my family and others to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas for needy families. Today we did some of our gift buying for a family who is less fortunate and has the almost unbearable tragedy of a child with cancer. Every year we do this and every year I feel such a sense of peace come over me knowing that for just a short time things will be good for the family we are taking under our wing. I am blessed.

  81. I have been scouring my home all day to find what? My missing paper lanterns…… and look what you have now. I love these necklaces. DARLING!
    I am glowing in the midnight hour to put together a chinese dinner for the youth of our church tomorrow. If only I had the necklace to wear! 🙂 I would be oh-so-dressed for the occasion.

  82. I am glowing in the challenge of doing something totally out of my comfort zone, and totally new to me. In less than 48 hours I’ll participate in a stair climb to raise money for cystic fibrosis research! I am the most un-athletic person you’ll ever meet, I avoid doing sports and even too much physical activity in front of others, simply out of awkwardness and embarrasment. But, this time, I”ll climb 16 stories (my part of the relay) with hundeds of other people. Why? Because my precious Emily, who positively GLOWS – has CF. I can do this…for her.

    Each training climb has left me feeling stronger, and yes, I “glow” in that stinky sweaty way when I’m done!

    Oh, and the fact that we are taking our girls on their first Disney vacation in exactly one month…that makes me glow a bit, too.

  83. Last night I got together with me dearest friend, Kerry. We have been friends FOREVER. Over the last 20 years we have seen each other through many joys and sorrows. Life has been so full lately that we haven’t been able to see each other as much as we like so I appreciate the times we do get together so much. I know that she desires the best for me even if it means saying hard things. Remembering all that we have been through and all that we have to look forward to as friends makes me glow.

  84. i’m glowing, because i just found out earlier this week that i’m pregnant again. yeah! i love this necklace. i think it’s just gorgeous.

  85. I am glowing because next week my husband has extra days off for the holidays and we get to spend the most amount of time as a family since our twin sons were born 1 year ago. The 4 of us are going to have a lot of fun

  86. Last week I was trying to come up with the PERFECT Christmas cookie recipe. I was searching desperately for one like my grandmother used to make when I was a little girl. Needless to say, I made them and they were HORRIBLE. I told my sweet Granny about my catastrophe, and today when I went to visit she had made a special batch of Christmas Cutout cookies just for me!!! I feel so blessed to have my grandmother still living. I hope to be as humble and thoughtful as she is someday. She makes EVERYONE around her glow!

  87. today what is making me glow is my nceklace I have on…. It’s a Lisa Leonard captured heart and it says faith hope love. Words to live by. Thanks Lisa for making me GLOW today!!!! Love the new lantern necklace!!!!

  88. I am not glowing right now. Found out yesterday that my husband lost his job effective next week. Found out today that my dad was admitted to the hospital with bleeding on his brain. I know that I can glow right now because God is in control and a new job will come and people are loving to give my kids presents at Christmas and my dad is a Godly man with good medical care so I know God is there too. Thanks for the chance to win and maybe just vent a little. I hope to be glowing soon!

  89. Today, my favorite fall candle from Yankee Candle, Pumpkin Pie and Vanilla Cupcake is makimg my craft room and myself glow from the awesome smell!! Love, love, love, your fabulous lantern necklaces!!

  90. Today I am glowing because I know that I will be able to go home and see my family for Thanksgiving. I am a college student who rarely sees my family because I go to college 6 hours away from home. Thus, I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving and gathering with my family, friends, and fiancé…all of whom I do not see often enough. The thought makes me ecstatic!

  91. See my husband’s new in home office take shape. He’s sacrificed so much and is such a great Daddy. He’s so excited to have a space of his own and it was fun to see the goofy smiles on his face when he showed it to me.

  92. Knowing that I’m finally going to college in January for something that I love and that I’ve been waiting for years to get there makes me glow :~) I just want to tell you that your jewelry is absolutely beautiful and inspiring.

  93. our new baby boy makes me glow…as to our two daughters, his proud big sisters…my family makes me glow! thanks for another fun giveaway!

  94. I taught myself how to do a half double crotchet adding the finished trim to a knitted hat. Love it and love your necklaces.

  95. Transitioning my little one into her big girl bed — even if she sleeps just a few hours on her own, I consider that enough to glow about !! 😉

  96. Glowing…well maybe not quite glowing, but definitely wearing a smile! My husband is recovering well from surgery to remove a cancerous tumour, we just celebrated our 27th anniversary and I am finally beginning to recover from a long and difficult depression. I am trusting that with God’s strength and the love of my husband and children – glowing will happen again someday!

    Just found your jewellry for the first time today – absolutely beautiful and inspiring.

  97. What makes me glow today? I am glowing because one of my students identified more than 50 words we didn’t know the student knew! I am a special education teacher and these moments light up my life and make my soul glow! I feel so blessed to experience such moments in life that rock your core and bring you back to what is important, life is truly amazing!

  98. I’m glowing because I get to spend the evening playing with my two lovely daughters – such a needed activity after fighting HTML all day at work!

  99. The wonderful, windy, cool Oregon weather is making me glow. Red cheeked, craving soups and warm drinks, cozying up at home….I love fall!

  100. My birthday was yesterday and I’m still glowing from a great day at Disneyland with a friend! 🙂

    Very cute lanterns! 🙂 Did your sister design them? They look a little like her drawings.

  101. how lovely!
    i am glowing today because my soon-to-be ten year old (thursday) sent the sweetest email to his former principal apologizing for not acknowledging him during a curriculum walk-through. according to g, he wanted to look “professional while working.” too funny!

  102. Oh, wow. That’s lovely!
    I’m glowing with a cup of hot tea in my hands… the storm is over and the power is back on, the hole in my basement wall is patched, and my daughter’s health issues are thankfully not life-threatening. Life is good.

  103. My face…it’s literally glowing today because of the 125 km/hr winds and WARM (what its mid-november) weather we have been having lately. What a fab design and thank you for such a generous giveaway!

  104. what makes me glow: cup of coffee in peace and quiet, smiles on my kids’ faces, a productive day, a relaxing evening. love the new necklace!

  105. Wow! It took so long to scroll down here. You’re a popular one, Lisa. What’s making me glow today is that I have made new friends in my new digs here in Redondo. In Bible Study I was taking in the fact that I am now a part of some other women’s lives, sharing with them, praying with them and just chit-chatting with them. And a couple of them are now Facebook friends and I was able to share something special with them. And I know they will pray for me and I will SEE them again to share more with them. It’s beginning to feel like home.

  106. I am celebrating my sons 8th birthday~ He is such a little man! I am glowing cuz I love being a mom to my 2 kids 🙂
    I am also glowing because I told him he ‘s getting so big and maybe he should stop growing… and he said it’s okay, he will always be my little guy (with a hug) !

  107. I’m glowing with the anitcipation of cool, crsip mornings and a toasty scarf knitted by my mom to wrap around my neck 🙂 Love it! Your designs are so creative

  108. many mom’s are frantic, tired or grumpy when they call. some are really mean or curt. today someone said “thank you, you are always there when I need help. I feel so much safer knowing you are there” well! that made my day. I rarely get feed back from my stressful job, so I’m glowing right now!

  109. I would put the words “walk” “in” and “light” on this necklace. What is really causing me to glow lately is walking in the light of the Bible. God’s truth is giving me joy an I am trusting Him to continue making me into a new creation. This lantern necklace would be perfect to express that! “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7

  110. My three precious babies. Born less than 3 lbs each, spent 9 weeks in NICU and now these 3 kiddos are 8 1/2 months old…happy, healthy, and thriving. They have lit up our life and we love them to pieces! Such blessings they are. Yes, I am one very proud (glowing!) new Mom!

  111. Spending the day with high schoolers is what’s making me glow today! I mean really…I think its the best job in the world! They make the 5 years I spent in college completely worth it, every single day!

  112. The nice wheather outside. I love the fall season and its colour, clothing, fall veggie….and today it is so nice and sunny. Love it..it s makes me happy! So is your necklaces!

  113. LOVE the new design! Two things are making me glow today – my new Avon anti-aging serum 🙂 and 3 simple words said by my 3 year old while we were snuggling: ” I love you”

  114. I am glowing because the holidays are getting close.. Getting very excitied.. Looking forward to fall being done. I am tired of raking leaves:)

  115. I did the dishes, picked up the toys, went grocery shopping, cooked dinner, and put in a load of laundry…….I’m glowing because I’m running crazy!

    So excited at the chance of winning!

  116. My organized (finally) and peaceful (temporarily) home…..three liittle ones and a husband don’t always cooperate, but I’ll take the crazy chaos anyday ;-).

  117. When I haven’t seen my friends in a long time and we agree to meet at a coffee shop, the moment I walk through the door and our eyes meet. That smile that they smile when they see you. It’s so bright and it makes you feel loved, real and warm.

  118. My daughter got an additional scholarship for her study abroad in Italy trip that starts in January and ends in April-I am so proud!!

  119. I loved the deep, warm turquoise skies today and making glitter cars with my son while hubby cooked dinner, after a long day

  120. The DVD of my wedding pictures that I just received! So exciting to remember all of the beautiful happy moments. 🙂

  121. We are taking our honeymoon in 2 wks and it only took 7yrs of marriage and 3 kids to make it happen…… I can’t wait!!

  122. I’m glowing because my mom watched my 5 year old so that I could go to town and get some Christmas shopping done……it always feels good to get something accomplished on a day out!

  123. Oh my goodness, I just love your website! Beautiful layout. Right now I’m glowing from the inside out- from the cup of hot chocolate that’s warming me up!

  124. I am studying in scotland for a semester and have gotten really plugged into a bible study. Every week I bake something, usually a cake for someone’s birthday. This week they surprised me and turned the cake I made into my “birthday cake” because I won’t be here during my real birthday. These wonderful people make me glow 🙂

  125. My husband, my best friend in the world, makes me glow because of his unconditional love and care for me and our family. I love him because without him, I wouldn’t have our 3 beautiful children!

  126. Such a lovely blog filled with beautiful photography!

    Glowing:
    Knowing that in just a few short weeks I will be with family and friends basking in holiday happiness!

  127. Bumping into an old coworker at the grocery store. We haven’t seen each other for 10 years. My did we chat up a storm! Such an unexpected delight! 🙂

  128. Looking at my calendar and realizing that I only have three more weeks of Nursing school! It’s been a long 3 years but I was glowing and grinning from ear to ear when I realized I’m so close to the end!

  129. I am glowing in the fact that my 3 year old daughter is going to be potty trained in a few days. *hopeful and optimistic*

  130. I am glowing because of my very special afternoon therapy session – i.e. hitting the thrift shop and finding the most amazing lamp for my daughter’s room and the most incredible little set of red cups.

  131. I took my 2 youngest children to Target to get essentials (9 months and 2 yo) and they were ANGELS!! This doesn’t happen often, so it really made me happy! 🙂

  132. Glowing with the thought that the best husband in the world asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner instead of fixing it. Not sure how he knows which days to say it, but he’s pretty good at it!!

  133. The holiday season! With Thanksgiving next week (yikes!) and Christmas just next month I am so excited for family and travels!

  134. still glowing from a 40th birthday thrown for me by two beautiful friends. lots of twinkly candles, great food, warm friends and a perfect fall night.

  135. My ailing dear aunt (91 yrs. old) is doing much better @ a rehab center & may go home in a day or two! (Answered prayers.)

  136. Burrr…it’s cold outside so along with the chill, my husbands love, my children’s smile, and all of what God has to offer.

  137. Watching my husband and my son together today made me glow! I am so blessed to have a wonderful loving husband and a beautiful healthy son!

  138. I am glowing this very day because I had the opportunity to chat with my sister in law who lives a good distance away from me. Anytime I’m with her she has a way of illuminated my face with a smile. She’s a great conversationalist and very real…. which always makes me laugh. Being refreshed by her today put a little sparkle in my life. And by the way she bears my same name… Stacy. Very cool.

  139. Today the thing that is making me glow is support. I have been thrown in to the Special Education part of teaching this year with no training… basically left to sink or swim. I’ve had 3 different people working with me in a 12 week period of time, and these kids can.not. handle change. I feel like I’ve made myself blue in the face asking for suggestions, strategies, just any kind of help really to help me make the lives and education of these children better. So far, I’ve gotten nothing. However, I met with the state representative for Special Education in VA along with my new cooperating teacher, and I got strategy after strategy, suggestion after suggestion, support, support, support… everything just overflowing. I finally feel better. I finally feel like this is doable. I finally feel like I can succeed. That is a wonderful, amazing feeling!

  140. I am glowing because…..Harry Connick Christmas music is playing, scones are in the oven baking, a fire is in the fireplace and my little girl is playing happily with her train set on the living room floor as I type. A GREAT day! Beautiful necklace Lisa! You are so creative!

  141. I’m glowing today from a couple of hours of being outside blowing leaves in my yard, and getting to spend some extra time with my sweet 9 year olds!

  142. Why am I glowing today? Well to be honest I hadn’t been glowing much which is a shame because I have something within me that should be shining….the love that I receive from our wonderful Savior God, and the love I receive from my husband should make me as shinny as the sun but unfortantely this thing called ‘self’ tends to make things a little shaddy. Today is still here so I will go look for some things to help me glow!

  143. What’s making me glow right now, is my Christmas tree is up! My Christmas music playing…. my kids at school make me smile…. I love fall and I love Thanksgiving with family and friends and I especially love the ENTIRE Christmas season!
    Lisa, you make us glow everyday by sharing!
    🙂

  144. I love the necklaces! I love all your items. 🙂
    What’s making me glow today is hope….Hope in the Lord and what he is doing right now in our lives, hope in the way He is going to help us overcome our circumstances in the midst of what looks to be a negative situation.

  145. I am glowing because I am getting ready to go watch my son play his baritone in a special “honors band” he was selected for. I am so proud!

  146. that i am alive and have so many things to be grateful for. Loosing my daughter has opened my eyes and taught me to appreciate all the wonderful things i have around me.
    That makes me glow!

  147. The idea of spending the next weekend in a little house by the sea with my husband and 2 children, playing, relaxing, going swimming, just having fun with each other… that makes me glow!

  148. Im glowing today because I got to spend 2 beautiful days with my husband in the lovely city of boston when his cutter pulled into port after being at sea for a month!

  149. My husband is making me glow today. He knows I have been very stressed out at work lately, so he has been paying extra attention to me and providing all the extra hugs I need!

  150. What makes me glow today?
    I just came home from a beautiful nature stroll with my kids and my face glows – I got a sunburn in November!!!! Isn’t that funny? Aside from the fact that it hurts… 😉

    Greetings from the BayArea

  151. Today I must give thanks for making me glow to a warm cup of hazlenut coffee, the tune my 3 year old daughter is bangin in the next room on the piano, and can’t forget the warm fuzzy 8 month old that is taking the longest nap ever…mmm hazlenut…

  152. I’m glowing as I anticipate my parents’ arrival to visit with my family! They’re coming from Canada today, and we haven’t seen them for a whole year. I can’t wait to see my young sons spend some time getting to know their grandparents. 🙂

  153. My second daughter, Gigi, turns 3 months old today! Her smile and sweet sweet sweet personality makes me glow today!

  154. My husband and my boys are making me glow today 🙂
    It’s just one of those perfect, sunny, breezy days……and they both are napping so maybe that’s why I’m glowing!
    Also- your website seriously makes me glow. Your blog and designs are so inspirational!
    Thank you!

  155. I glow today because my 14 year old son, who is now taller than me, hugged me this morning and told me he loved me. And, my 16 year old son, who has had type 1 diabetes for 12 years, is finally well enough (after a hospitalization) to go back to school!! This was a great day – both kids think I am a great mom. Phew, my life is good.

  156. My boys and my husband make me glow! I have been feeling under the weather and their smiles always make me feel better! Cute design! 🙂

  157. i am glowing today b/c i came across your jewelry, your story, your website. i am four months pregnant with my first child! do you remember the anxiety, the questions and the unknown? this journey, so far, has been easier than i thought and my future, my babies future and our families future is wide open. oh the possibilities. your story and your love for your baby boy is inspiring. you give women hope everywhere.

  158. The thought of my beautiful family including my five vivacious children and my goofy husband make me glow! They are so funny and joyous ( most of the time 🙂 to be around. Seeing my baby take his five or six steps before falling to the ground is so delightful and exciting! The warm thought of Christmas surrounds me!

  159. I’m glowing today because the weather has turned cooler finally…putting me in the mood to re-arrange furniture, clean house and put up our Christmas decor before family gets here for Thanksgiving. I love the holidays and can’t wait to get started making more memories with my wonderful family.

    Blessings,
    Cindi

  165. I don’t know if I glow.. I do know that the light that is in me is from above for God is light and in him there is now darkness. So my glow is the light of the LORD!! Love your jewelry.

  166. Each of us has a glow … a lantern … within our heart. It’s the light of divinity, of a higher consciousness, of God, that radiates in your spirit, pure and true. Sometimes the light gets obscured by regrets of the past, or fear of the future but under it all that light never grows dim.

    Treasure this radiant light … polish up your lantern … with every breath and beat of your heart. Let your heart shine on those around you.

  167. Today I am glowing from the love of sweet sister who came over and helped me move all my furniture back in my house since my husband just finished the wood floors (which are also glowing *wink*). I’m so blessed to have a sister like her! ♥

  170. My attitude right now is making me glow. It’s only 11am and my morning has been nothing short of ‘normal’. I’ve been clumsy all morning (so not me) and I apparently made two drivers on the freeway very upset with me (not sure why)…and I’m still in enjoying my morning! Tee-hee!

  183. I am glowing today knowing that my wife is the love of my life and that we have been blessed with 4 beautiful children to share our love with.

  184. Well since I just returned from the gym and an hour long cardio session I’d say I’m glowing due to a great workout! Now time to start the day…. 🙂
    The necklace is *so* *cute* !!!

  185. I am a nursing student and just started clinicals in a long-term care facility a couple of weeks ago…And these residents I work with have stolen my heart! They definitely made me glow today…those smiles and wise words, what a blessing! I love the new necklace! What a fun idea!

  186. My father will be here in just a few hours! We have not seen him in over a year! My brothers will be joining us next week for Thanksgiving as well, and I am so excited. It will be so nice to have a few days of ‘family-time’!

  187. I’m glowing at the thought of viewing our old VHS and Sony 8 tapes of our children on DVD. It will be the first time we’ve seen them in 15 years. 🙂

  188. Love the lanterns–such a beautiful idea, Lisa. I saw them and my thoughts went to my daughter. We hung lovely paper lanterns above her crib. I think our Maggie would have loved looking up at them. I am missing her today…she is Home with the Lord. My little boys, my husband and the HOPE of being with our Maggie Girl for eternity, they help to keep this little light of mine from flickering out.

  189. I am glowing today because it was a good mommy morning. My 3 kids were helpful and polite. They didn’t fight with each other, no one was teasing, no milk or cereal was spilled on the floor. The hats and mittens were laid out, and the backpacks were ready to go. We made it to the bus stop with several minutes to spare. Only 1 out of the 3 brushed their teeth, but I had time to give them big hugs and kisses and tell them I loved them so much before work. That is a perfect morning for me. And it doesn’t happen too often!

  190. I am GLOWING today from cuddling on the couch, drinking hot chocolate, & watching playhouse Disney with my 3yr old early this morning….good times & a lot to be thankful for!

  191. Glowing today because the Lord has given me another day and pray that I make this one day count. For tomorrow is not promised to anyone so Lord let me “Glow” for your kingdom today.

  192. This is my first time commenting but not my first reading your blog! I adore your pictures and of course your jewelery 🙂

    What is making me glow today…well, I just finished reading Persuasion by Jane Austen and I couldn’t be more satisfied. All now seems right with the world! Love has conquered all! Oh the power of books to bring a smile to the soul.

  193. I am glowing today because I just had a fabulous weekend get away with my husband. Plus we had a lovely family reunion with all kinds of good food and great company. I am truly blessed!!

  194. I am glowing today because I have the most wonderful grandson in the world. He calls me Pezzie and we chase bank robbers and fight dragons and fish and make cookies and marvel at the acrobatics of squirrels. When he was just two, he looked at me and said, ” Pezzie, it is like you and me, Evan are one person living in two bodies.” Life doesn’t get better than that!

  195. Being 30 weeks pregnant is making me glow. 🙂 Also, my daughter is bringing me a lot of joy today. Oh, how blessed the Lord has made me!

  196. Holy Smokes! Look at all these comments- well done Mama!

    What’s making me glow today (or at least what people are saying must be making me glow) is this little baby chugging along in my belly. I just read that THIS WEEK, we’re making teeth in there.

  197. i am glowing because we get to travel to ohio for thanksgiving this year to be with my family! and my birthday falls on thanksgiving this year…so it will be a great birthday! i can’t wait!

  198. My 10-month-old son just this morning up and said “mama” to me for the first time. I don’t even know whether he really gets what it means, but he saw my reaction and so keeps saying it over and over just to make me happy.
    Ahhh…

  199. I am glowing today because of how blessed I feel to have such a wonderful family – it warms my heart to receive such undying love and devotion on a daily basis! I glow bright because I love being a wife, momma, daughter, sister and niece!

    Have a blessed day!

  204. Drinking my iced chai while looking out at the ocean view from my home office…watching the almost ripe lemons outside my window just starting to turn yellow…getting a 4 hour stretch of sleep last night…one of the longest stretches since my 4 1/2 month old son came home from the hospital!! Woohoo!! Ooh, and, best of all, knowing that any moment, my amazing parents are going to burst through the door, ready with hugs, excited to spend the day lavishing love and grandparent-ness on my boys like only they can.

  231. I am glowing today thinking about how to decorate our new home for the holidays! Planning on gathering up hubby and our three kids this weekend for a Christmas card photo on the front porch. I love the holidays and spending lots of time with the kids baking, decorating, and remembering the true meaning of Christmas.

    Love the lanterns. Keep up the great work. You are a true inspiration!

  236. I am basking in the afterglow of a good evening at home with my two 14 year olds last night. Monday has become our no activity night and it was a good time.

  237. I am glowing because I am pregnant with twins. I just made 12 weeks on Sunday and although I am trying to bask in the glory of being pregnant, I have to admit I can’t wait to meet them! The necklace is darling & I would love one! 🙂

  238. I am glowing today a bit because we had a really busy, crazy, hard working weekend and last night I was just so tired while making supper. Well, after supper my hubby told me he’d clean up the kitchen and for me to go sit down on the couch and relax! What a sweet gesture even if he didn’t do ALL of the dishes and left some in the sink! The necklace/lantern charms are beautiful!

  239. I am glowing today because I am truly thankful to be loved unconditionally by Jesus. His mercies are new every morning and it’s the JOY of my salvation that brings the pink to my cheeks!

  240. I am glowing because on Friday we will sign on our very first house!! I am so excited to have a place of our very own where we can hang things on the walls and choose our own paint colors. I am also thankful to have a place where we can entertain others easily and welcome lots of people into our home.

    🙂

  242. What makes me glow today? This is what my 3-year old that told me this morning; “Mommy I love you to the moon and space even when you have all those nipples (she meant pimples!) on your face. ” Nothing like the humor and humility our children bring to our lives! I wouldn’t change it for anything–not even a pimple-free face! : )

  243. I’m glowing because of the great family I have and that we get to celebrate everything we are thankful for next week.

  244. Oooh! So darling!!!! My 17 month old twin boys make me glow everyday….now they wake up and call out mama from their cribs (what a nice change from yelling and screaming!) I melt everytime I hear their voices.

  249. beautiful new design! what’s making me GLOW today? it started with my 7 yr. old son climbing into bed to snuggle this morning, the love of my husband and children….and admiring my little pink xmas tree in my office. 🙂

    the GLOW will go on today as my therapy dog and I will volunteer at a school for physically handicapped children. Lucy blesses them, and they bless us, too…

  250. I am glowing becuase I know that God has already prepared the way, and knows our very circumstances before we even face them.

  251. I am glowing today because of all the amazing people I work with @ The Childrens Hospital, I learn more every day and when I go home to my family at the end of the day it makes it that much more special 😉 Have a great day !!!

  252. My son – how can you not glow when a three year old comes up to you grabs your leg and say, I love you mommy – thank you for my chocolate bed! (It really isn’t chocolate but we work better associating our colors with food, who doesn’t!)

  253. Oooh, I love these. Would be perfect for my friend who had an amazing experience with God in China!

    I’m glowing because I know how my Beloved adores me! ME!

  256. Good friends make me glow. Last night we met and shared our hearts, prayed together, and encouraged one another. There’s nothing like it. This morning I’m still feeling the warmth of their care.

  257. What a pretty design . .. I’m glowing because my 7-year-old twins are off on their first field trip of the school year, to a concert hall. They were so cute and anticipatory, with their good clothes and their new haircuts.

  258. Getting to go to a friend’s wedding in a few weeks makes me glow. I am so excited for her, and it will be great to catch up with everybody, too! =)

  259. My two boys and my husband make me glow. My kids have been singing in the car to a new CD and they make me laugh every time their favorite song comes on. They get so excited! Just watching my husband play with them and tickle them makes me happy too!

  264. A crisp, clear, sunny day after what seems like endless gray, cloudy ones – that’s Michigan for you – and that’s what makes me glow today!

  265. I’m glowing today with the realization that even though yesterday was really, really tough, I get to start all over again today – how awesome is that? Last night as I was tucking my son in I told him “tomorrow will be better” and I have no doubt that it will be.

  266. What makes me glow? …. today it is the fact that my daughter is no longer sick, now she is just teething. And teething + sick = a big fuss ball, a tired mama & a dim light. Just teething is something I can handle & that makes me shine & glow & say thank you to the Lord.

  267. I am glowing because in 3 weeks I will be heading home to the US to see my family! My husband and I serve as missionaries in Botswana and we only get home every two years. I can’t wait……then then the holidays…….that makes me smile!

    Love the new design!

  277. Ever since I gave birth in May, I have felt as if my clothes don’t fit. Through giving my baby breastmilk, I lost all my baby weight plus some and since I feel money is an issue, I never bought new jeans that fit. Yesterday my hubby took our 6 month old out to give me a little break time and he came back with two pairs of new jeans that actually fit me! It was the sweetest thing…that makes me glow. I am blessed to be loved by him,

  278. Glowing… 36 weeks pregnant and feeling as big as a house but knowing that soon enough you’ll have a beautiful little baby to go along with your precocious 2.5 yr old red headed son!

  279. What is making me glow today? I am loving my short hair. I got it cut in a pixie style last month and it makes my mornings so much easier. Having the extra time in the morning makes me glow.

  280. Today, I am glowing because my daughter made me a Turkey with her Hand. For each finger, she wrote what she was thankful for. It is now displayed on our fridge. I must say, it is these moments that my heart is FULL and emotions overflow with love. Sometimes my eyes even leak!

  281. I’m glowing because of my beautiful and loving family. I feel so blessed to have them in my life each and every day. I love your new necklace……….my middle daughter got some paper lanterns for her birthday and has them hanging in her bedroom.

  282. The sight of my nearly 3 yr old beaming with delight as she tried to blow out the candles on her birthday cake – the glow of the candles made her blue eyes even bluer and her 18 month old brother was so happy to be sitting next to her on her special day!!
    The necklace is beautiful x x x

  283. I’m glowing because a dear friend that I had hoped to meet up with in the States last month is coming, with her wonderful husband, to visit us here in Normandy next Spring for the first time.
    I love silver necklaces especially with a heart motif and saw your fabulous design over @BNOTP.

  284. What a wonderful and beautiful design! My soon-to-be 11 year old is making me glow today. She is leaving for a 4 day/ 3 night science camp and while I will be sad to not have her home with me I am amazed and a-glowing at her maturity and the young lady she has become!

  285. Today I have a funeral to go to. I know that sounds sad, but I am glowing because I know that the man who died was saved & love the Lord with all he had. His family has had a smile on their faces and joy in their hearts. It’s making me glow because I know that the Lord’s grace is all sufficient!

  286. I am glowing because my youngest is sleeping in and my oldest is snuggling in bed with me. Love these two little boys, but they are growing up way to fast!

  287. I’m on my way to teach a pre-natal yoga class this morning. Caring for all those shiny new mamas carrying their precious cargo; that makes me glow right down to my toes.

  288. I’m glowing today because after 6 months of not talking, a dear friend called me and we picked up right where we left off. No weird feelings and the conversation just flowed.

  289. My daughter Anna. She has a seizure disorder and developmental delay because of having encephalitis. The smile and kisses she gives me makes me glow, Love your blog and jewelry. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

  290. A sign that was pasted in a public toilet cubicle I visited today that read: “Everything is going to be okay. Keep going.” It was just what I needed to hear. I love lanterns. And I love your jewellery.

  291. Our washing machine broke, the repairman is unreliable, and our dirty clothes are piling up… grumble, grumble, grumble. I’m glowing, however, because my sweet husband took it upon himself to hand-wash my underwear for me, so I wouldn’t have to when I got home=) That’s true love!

  292. What makes me glow today? well, I am getting ready start selling hand made jewelry on etsy hopefully in a week and it makes me glow so much. I was dreaming about it for a years and the fact I am finally doing it is just amazing. And all my friends who encouraged me to do it make me glow also. 🙂

  293. WOW that necklace looks so beautiful, all of your pieces make me swoon!

    Seeing a smile on my child’s face when she learns that she will get a one on one teacher’s aid at school next year! The fact that she is excited to go into 3rd grade next year is a major step forward. She smiled whole-heartedly!! xo

  294. I just love all your designs Lisa, This one is so adorable. What makes me glow today? I got to go to Pier One all alone:) and I got a beautiful sparkley Christmas tree for a table top, (on sale) sales always make me glow. Of course the very first thing would be God, my husband and kids, but hey a good sale can do it too 🙂
    happy day Lisa
    deezie

  295. I’m glowing because for the first time in ages I ran the entire 4km home from work and made a glorious chicken pizza for dinner. Those lanterns are so cute!

  296. WOW. What fun, and such a great contest!

    I’m glowing simply because I think I’ve been amazingly blessed with a wonderful family. This year has been full of heartache for me as God deals with some deep issues…but i’m thankful that He cares for me enough to bother. Through everything He’s also deepened my love for and appreciation of my husband.God’s faithfulness makes me glow!

  297. My glow comes from snuggling with my 3 month old daughter…from ignoring the laundry just so I can watch her excitedly try to stuff both of her fists into her mouth…from looking into her big blue eyes while we share a conversation of cackling and baby coos. She absolutely lit up my life in a way I never imagined was possible.

  298. Tomorrow my husband are getting away with just the two of us for THREE. WHOLE. DAYS. We have four kids and we have had exactly one night out alone in the past four and a half years. I am positively, absolutely, GLOWING.

  299. Oh this necklace is fun and gorgeous. Tonight my husband totally took over things at the house this evening after his long day of work, so I could go out to dinner and shopping with a girlfriend. Something that I haven’t been able to do in a really, really long time. He’s an amazing husband and I love him for it…he made me glow this evening with his kindness and thoughtfulness!

  300. I just love this idea…you are so creative!!! I’ve been sick for the past couple days, so really whats making me glow is all the Orange Juice 🙂 (and the thought of being better)

  301. I’m glowing because of an awesome Bible study at my home yesterday with new friends here in Singapore. And lanterns? That necklace would be perfect because of the Chinese heritage of this country…to remember our time here.

  302. I’m glowing because we are going to adopt a baby boy! I guess that’s what they mean when pregnant women have a “glow” about them. I may not be carrying that baby but my glow is stronger than ever…Thanks to our sweet birthmom who is caring for our baby–you will be blessed!

  303. Gorgeous ! What’s making me glow..ummm it’s early here so I want to say my coffee but not a good answer . The thought of being home in the States for Christmas warms my heart.

  304. My boys, my husband and the autumn weather made me glow today. It didn’t hurt that both of my boys make a mama proud to hear their teachers tell me they’re a pleasure to have in class. 🙂

    **M

  305. I drove my new car for the first time today and I never thought I would appreciate it so much. But after driving a motorcycle for so long being warm, and safe, and having KSBY to sing to at the tip of my lungs was such a blessing!

  306. My home. We’re sitting here with the wind whipping outside and the power flickering on/off, with our candles lit (a paper lantern would be perfect right?).

    Love your designs!!!

  307. I’m glowing today because my six year old’s parent-teacher conference went wonderfully and because I am so happy to have such a kind, sweet girl to set an example for her three younger sisters!

    CUTE idea on the necklace! I just love your stuff!!!
