100th post! giveaway

This is my 100th blog post!  I started blogging about a year and a half ago, and have gone through seasons of posting a lot, posting a little, posting about family, posting about art, posting about things that inspire, and some randomness here and there.  For anyone of you who has followed from the beginning, are just coming for the first time, and all those in between... welcome and thanks for coming!  I'm happy you've stopped by and would love for you to stick around.  I have come to love the blogging community and have made some really nice friends here in blog land.  So thanks for visiting, and please know that I genuinely love to hear from you via comments and emails, so keep them coming!  =)
In honor of my 100th post, I've decided to host a giveaway!  One commenter will win a print of their choice from my etsy shop!  There are lots of new prints, since I've listed all of the prints from originals sold for the Retrieval Project.  Above are some of my favorites from the project.

To enter, just leave a comment stating what is inspiring you today.  Today I was inspired by lunch conversation with Mati Rose and Stefanie at Cafe Gratitude in SF.  Winner will be announced on Friday, October 2nd.  (Can you believe it's almost October?!!)

  3. I am inspired by the precious nature of my 5 yr old son tonight....when I had in my opinion buzzed his hair too close...he asked why I was so sad... when I told him ... he said he liked it that way and gave me his stuffed friend to cheer me up...I am inspired by his innocence!!

  4. Congrats on your 100th post! I am inspired by my amazing online friends. I came home from a crappy day to so much happy mail! A friend in Canada sent me some amazing goodies and I got the sweetest note in another package. Knowing that I have lovely people to call "friend" inspires me.

  5. I am inspired by the fact that a higher power has brought you and your beautiful family back into my life on a daily basis! To see our children interact and our husbands have things in common that make them smile...and for me to know that my Jen2 is across the street...just waiting with a smile whenever I need one...this to me is very inspiring! I love you Jen and Joe!!

  7. Jenny, I LOVE the giveaway "quilt"... absolutely amazing.

    Today I was inpired to keep pressing on and that this season of pain won't last forever...that I have my future and my kids' futures to look forward to. The person who inspired me is a friend I made on FB and have only had interactions w/ her on there...due to the fact that she lives in Australia!

    She is my inspiration because she raised triplet girls on. her. own. until they were 10 years old. One of the triplets is Mia Fieldes from Hillsong who has written amazing, Spirit-filled and annointed songs that have touched many around the globe. Her mumma, Glenda, is an amazing woman/warrior of God!

  10. Today I am inspired (based on a conversation I had with my husband) to keep going through all the efforts necessary to keep my son safe from peanuts. It is worth it for his little life to be safe and comfortable even if it sometimes takes a lot of work on our parts to make it happen...it is worth it, I know, that I know, that I know it!

    Jenny! i love the collage of your prints! It is like a quilt. And that is what inspires me today - quilts and history. today I am working on a quilt block (as a practicing beginner) and while doing so I am listening to an audio novel about quilting and a woman looking back into her family's history in the antebellum era with the quilts as the framework of the novel. we get stuck so much in 'today' and loose site of tomorrow or the rich history of yester years. History has so much to teach us and inspire us; and quilting is one form of a creative way to keep the history alive :-) kind of like your quilt of prints!

  14. I was sitting at a red light listening to the radio when a wonderful song came on and at the end the last line played "there could never be a more beautiful you" and the guitar trailed off as a cloud shadow raced over the top of my van....as the sun returned, an amzing brightness shone down.....that was inspiring, heartwarming, amazing and exactly what I needed : ) Bridget Menden

  15. My boyfriend having the strength and patience to have relationship with me from 600 miles away inspires me to be the best girlfriend I possibly can be.

  16. I am inspired by my husband who works tirelessly and selflessly here in this big city, to show God's love to all he would encounter. I work in a small town 30 minutes away, and he plugs away all day every day in this sometimes oppressive place, to do the work he's been asked to do, and with joy in his heart. He makes me want to be a better person.
