***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Our winner, thanks to the willy nilly matchmaking skills of random.org, is… Sharon (who’s hoping to be matched up with a piece of art to finish off a master bedroom renovation). Congrats!
Art.com is full of affordable stuff to help solve Naked Wall Syndrome (like these horse prints that we recently purchased) so we’re psyched that they’re giving away an $250 gift card to one of you lucky folks this week. They’ve launched a new tool called Match My Image that promises to come in handy next time you’re hunting for the perfect piece. You just upload an image – maybe of a fabric that you’re trying to coordinate or a photo that you’re using as inspiration – and it spits out a slew of art in that color scheme/vein that’s available for purchase. Here’s what we happened upon when we uploaded a couple of personal pictures (a photo of the river here in Richmond and a painting that Clara recently whipped up). Fun, right?
- PRIZE: A $250 gift card to Art.com
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MATCH ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … tell us if you’ve ever tried playing matchmaker? Or has someone else tried to match you up? How did it all work out? Was it amazing? Or should you (or your would-be matchmaker) stick to their day job?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, July 13th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday morning for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just take them on to reward our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Art.com.

MATCH ME!
A family friend once tried to set me up on a blind date with her coworker’s son, who went to my college. She told me the name, and eep! I’d had classes with him and he was NOT someone I wanted to date. I’m not opposed to blind dates, but make sure the guy and I would be at least halfway compatible.
Jenna says
Match Me!!
I was ‘matched’ on a date with what I was told was a rugged, blue eyed, cowboy. He WAS blue eyed and rugged…so rugged that his favorite hobby was taxidermy and while we were driving back from the big city from our movie date we passed some road kill that he thought was a bob cat. He very politely asked if I would mind stopping to check out the cat and if ‘stuff-able’ throw it in the back of the pick-up. LUCKILY (I lived in Kansas at the time), and another farmer had already claimed the cat by the time we turned around.
Kimberly R. says

I’m pretty much a human form of cupid! ;)
Adrienne says
Match Me!
Caiti says
Match me! Both times I have been ‘matched’ have turned into a sort of for a while, but they then both failed miserably. (kind of like that paper airplane that you think is going to fly, but then…it falls and crumples into the paper ball it was destined to be)
Danica Allen says
Match Me! No matchmaker here.
Arlene says
MATCH ME!
I have tried to play matchmaker many times, it NEVER works out :( whoops! Sorry Friends! I just can’t help myself when I have two people I love, I want them to love each other! I’m all about spreading the love!
Sarah says
MATCH ME!
Friends of mine have met through me and ended up getting married, but whenever I try to be intentional about it, I usually fail!
Laura says
MATCH ME!
i havent been a matchmaker ever–and i choose my own men! haha
busybodyk says
Match me!
Yes, I tried to match a friend with a guy I knew. There just wasn’t a spark.
Meg says
Match me!
I’m the one everyone tries to play matchmaker with. Never a success – my matchmakers need to realize that just because two people are single does not mean they are compatible!
Caitlin says
Please MATCH ME!
I matched up my best friend in college, they got married, and recently had a beautiful baby girl! I don’t want to mess with my 100% success rate though and haven’t tried it since :)
Dee Dee says
Match me!
Shanelle says
MATCH ME!! ummmm…yes, i did with one of my best friends. They are going on 6 years of marriage now:)
Kerry says
Match me!
My husband and I met on match.com (were living 4 blocks away from each other, took the same commuter train home every night, and I found out later he knew my upstairs neighbor). And to top it off, now my old roommate and his old roommate are married! They met through us, were both dating other people when they first met, but then got together about 2 years after my husband and I met. So, the match was not intentional, but I still claim credit for it.
Ms. Amy says
Match Me! No, matchmaking is not my gig of choice. I was always afraid it would end badly & both parties would resent me.
Rachel says
MATCH ME!!
Everytime my husband and I try to play matchmaker it goes horribly wrong.So wee don’t try that anymore.lol
Sarah Chandler says
Match Me!
I’ve played matchmaker in the corporate sense and it turned out okay?! Hooray for friends with great jobs!
Kim H says
Match Me!
I’ve tried to play matchmaker, never worked out (that I know of)
Rachel says
MATCH ME, please!!
I definitely have played matchmaker before & the couple is still together almost 6 months down the road so who knows if the match will be an ultimate ‘success’…
Amanda K says
Match Me!
Kathryn says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to be a matchmaker but it would have to be a obviously perfect match for me to try. :)
Jessica says
MATCH ME! I tried playing matchmaker once with one of my boyfriend’s friends and my dental hygenist. It didn’t work out…
Krysta @ Domestic for Dummies says
Match Me! I created an E-harmony account for my friend and the first date she went on is now her hubby!
Rosalyn says
Match me… I have tried to play matchmaker, but never was too successful. I was also matched…Five years ago, at a camp I volunteered for, met a guy that insisted I meet his friend. So, a month after camp, I agreed to a blind date and now we will be married in 2 months. I guess some blind dates and matches do work out!
Laura says
MATCH ME!!
We JUST ordered prints from art.com YESTERDAY! I can’t reveal what my husband crafted in the four prints we ordered, but it’s going to be wicked sweet. Perhaps I’ll post a picture to FB when it’s complete!
Rachel says
Match Me!!!
I’ve never played matchmaker, but my husband has. He and another one of his friends set two of their friends up in college. They’ve been married now for 2 years!
Gina says
MATCH ME! Unbeknownst to me, my friend took it upon herself to play matchmaker at a wedding I attended – she practically had all the single men there lined up to meet me! I ended up marrying the last guy in line :)
Shayla says
Match me!! Everyone and their momma’s dog tries to set me up. Hasn’t worked yet so I’m guessing they should keep their day jobs!
Kathy says
“MATCH ME!” I have done it once and they’re married now!
Sue says
MATCH ME!
Oh, how I’ve wanted to play matchmaker for a couple friends, but haven’t found the right guys yet. My friend tried to set me up one time, but the guy was more interested in her. Awkward.
Kelsey D says
MATCH ME!!
I always talk about matching up my single friends with other singles I meet, but never really get the guts to do it!
Cate says
MATCH ME! My boyfriend and I often try to match up one of my friends, but she lives out of state now so it is much harder.
we just bought a house yesterday so it would be amazing to win some art for our new house to make it a home!
Mary Anne says
MATCH ME
Oh no, I would never want to have to hear it if te relationship dodn’t work out!

MATCH ME!!
I’ve tried playing matchmaker and have had people try to match me. Neither worked!

MATCH ME! My MOH/BFF and my huusband’s BM/BFF started dating soon after our wedding and are now engaged! We all live(d) in different cities so they had only met once before the wedding.
Sara says
Match me! My roommate in college played matchmaker three times for me. The first two were both HUGE fails, but the third time was the charm. My “match” and I will celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary this month.
Cristy says
Match Me… the last time I tried to play matchmaker, one of the people involved just dove deeper into their “he’s just not that into you” issues, so now I’m going to let time & fate work out those issues.
Lorie Smith says
MATCH ME! My husband and I were set up by a mutual and well…so far, it’s turned out great! We will celebrate our 10 year anniversary this December. :) On the flip side, we set up my best friend with his best friend…that turned out pretty bad…broken engagement, 3rd party…messed up friendship (for a while, it’s good now)…won’t be playing matchmaker again.
Lorie
Jill says
Match me! I was set up on a blind date by my best friend and her fiance. It was fun but ultimately not for me!
Sadie says
Match me!!
My husband and I were actually a set up by two friends of ours. Worked out great for us!! *wink*
Suz McA says
MATCH ME!
I’ve tried to play match maker before… can’t say I’ve ever been successful, but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped trying :)
