***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.

My mom’s friend once made my mother match the friend’s daughter with another friend’s son. It did not end well and I learned to just stay out of people’s business!

Stephanie says
Match Me!
I can’t remember ever playing matchmaker, so I guess it’s not one of my special talents. The only ‘matching’ I can recall is being matched with my now-husband on a Christian online dating site. It worked–we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary a month from today!
BornInaZoo says
I’ve never tried being a matchmaker. There’s a new guy at my church & several playing matchmaker. We’ll be great friends … that’s probably it.
Lani @ Diapers and Divas says
“Match Me!”
I tried once…and I’ll never do it again! I tried to match my best friend up with my husbands friend…and it turned out there was a reason that 2 engagements had broken off with him! He was WAAAAYYYY to pushy and smothering!! My hubs apologized, stating “I had no idea! I’ve never dated him!”
Jan says
MATCH ME!
I would love to play matchmaker but so far no luck.

Raeanne says
Match me!
God was my matchmaker… and He did an amazing job!
Jennifer says
Match Me! Well that’s fun!
Kimberj says
MATCH ME PLEASE!!! My hubs and I were a blind date that mutual friends set up but we both refused to go, both siting previous horrible blind date disasters. So… they set it up for us to meet casually out with all our mutual friends. Nature took its course and 10 months later we were married. 30 years later we are still each others best friend and madly, deeply in love. Wish everyone could be as lucky!
katie hill says

i haven’t played matchmaker romantically, but i love matching up friends with similar interests and personalities!
Kristina says
MATCH ME!
I would try and play matchmaker, but I’m an engineer, so I have way too many male friends…but I don’t know too many women to match them with!!
Jamie M says
“MATCH ME!”
I tried to set a friend up once with a single guy that always hung out with married couples, and NEVER again! I felt so bad when the guy turned out to be a jerk! I really didn’t know!
Jen Jones says
MATCH ME!
My mom actually set my husband and I up on a blind date! Now we are coming up on our 3-year anniversary and expecting a baby…I think she did a pretty great job!

Nicole says
Match Me!
Can’t say that I have ever tried to “seriously” play matchmaker (notice I said “seriously”) but others have tried to work their magic on me…alas…none have been successful yet!
Jenna says
Match Me!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker. :(

Dogfood says
Match Me!
One of my friends tried to play matchmaker with me…she should have kept her day job!
erinbrown says
Match Me!
Never have played matchmaker.
I was inadvertedily matched up with my husband by a friend. It ended up being an epic friendship flop but rewarding experience of finding an amazing husband. Worked out in my favor. : )
Sarah says
Match Me!
I’ve been the match-ie. (?)
Friends have tried a couple times to match me up with friends of their boyfriends. IT WAS HORRIBLE! And people just get offended when you don’t like their friends. And group parties get awkward. Yuck!
My current boyfriend (of 5+ years) I landed for myself. Hooray! :)
Pam says
MATCH ME!
I’ve never tried to play matchmaker. Too many viewings of “Emma” and “Clueless” have discouraged me from trying.
jessica says
Match Me!
LOL Actually my husband and I met on a fansite for Terry Goodkind… We were the 3rd couple to get together (as of now there have been 20+) and told the admin he should just run a dating site. Most of us got married. We’ve been married for nearly 6 years and still as happy as clams outside the Gulf!!
Tiffany Muller says
MATCH ME! I may have dreamed of making some matches, but always decided it best to step aside. I used to think it was so annoying when my family tried to set me up with someone, so I think that’s why I keep my distance. :-)
Emily says
Match Me! I have never been on a blind date but my parents were. Still happy after 30 years. :)
Susan says
MATCH ME! We tried once to play matchmaker. It didn’t work but both parties are now happily married to other people :)

MATCH ME…
While I didn’t officially try to match them up, I was the ’cause’ of two couples getting together. The first are happily married with two kids and the second are getting married next month…bonus: I’m officiating the wedding!!!
Sam G says
MATCH ME! I am definitely not a match maker. Luckily my friends are all spoken for so no pressure to help a girl (or guy) out.
Lori says
Match me!
My aunt once tried to set me up with a co-worker of hers with “personality plus.” I didn’t get the personality or the plus.
Ashley G says
MATCH ME!
I tried once, but it didn’t work out, to the embarrassment of us all!
