Fab Freebie: Stars, Butterflies & Teardrops

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

No, I’m not having a psychedelic trip right now – but this week’s giveaway does have us not only seeing stars but butterflies, teardrops, and lots of vibrant colors. It’s actually thanks to two crafty Etsy sellers: The Starcraft and This Neck of The Woods, who’ve paired up for this paper-decor-tastic prize that’ll be coming to TWO lucky readers (no matter where you live in the world).

Let’s first meet The Starcraft. They create beautiful mobiles with cascading tiers of hand-folded moravian paper stars. Appropriately named for various constellations, the three styles our winners can choose from this week could make quite the playful statement in any room in your home. There’s the 3-tiered Vela (which also comes in a cool or warm monochromatic version), the 4-tiered Orion (whose stars are dusted with glitter) or the larger 5-tiered Cassiopia (which boasts 20 stars- six more than the others).

This Neck of The Woods also creates wonderful paper decor, particularly in the form of graceful garlands that could dress up any mantle, light fixture, or even a plain ol’ wall for a party (or heck, on a regular basis). They’ll be giving our winners their choice of two garlands- whether they have a geometric dot design, a posh scallop pattern, a subtle teardrop motif, or a feminine butterfly design.

Both Etsy sellers will also share a special discount on Thursday, but for now let’s get to the entry details for ya:

  • PRIZE: One star mobile from The Starcraft (choose the Vela, Orion, or Cassiopia) and two garlands from This Neck of The Woods (choose from their dot, scallop, teardrop, or butterfly designs)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M A STAR!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … let’s dream a bit this week. If you could achieve stardom for one particular skill or achievement (real or imagined) what would it be? Would you want to be a world famous singer? A prize-winning inventor? Perhaps an accomplished designer?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, August 11th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two!
  • 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…

    I’M A STAR!

    I’d have to go with a Nobel Prize in Medicine (not that I’d turn down any of the other Nobels)!

    I’M A STAR! If I were famous, I think I’d choose to be a famous author or photographer – a little out of the limelight while being able to enjoy being so well respected.

    I’d love to be a photographer. Not necessarily even famous, because that doesn’t bother me so much. I’d just love to hang up my amateur-status cape and actually have people think I’m good at what I love to do.

    And I would love for it to be because of finding a way to help as many people learn to read and achieve their goals as possible, especially adults.

    Honestly, out of all of the things I’ve ever done–including my career pre-baby–the thing I want to be most known for is being a wonderful wife and mother. That sounds so corny, but I honestly don’t need fame and fortune in the broader sense. I feel like being famous in the eyes of my husband and daughter makes me rich in every sense of the word.

    And my gosh I really hope I win this–I was just looking at DIY directions for making butterfly garland for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. This would free me up to work on her cake!! :)

    I’d love to be a supermodel…wearing gorgeous clothing, traveling all around the world, and just getting paid to be beautiful. Must be the life!

    “I’M A STAR!” to my hubby and son :-)

    Tough question…I’m not sure I want to achieve stardom in reality or in my imagination.

    I’M A STAR! I’d love to be a movie star, if only for all of the free travel, custom made gowns, and tickets to the Oscars (just seat me next to Mr. Clooney, please…)

    I would love to be a professional photographer! I think it would be so fun to be able to take great pictures and get paid for it!

    ^ Ugh, I sound like such a lame-o in that post. That really does make me happy. It really does.

    But I guess I should’ve been a little more light-hearted about the post in general. So in that case, I’d like to revamp my answer and say that BESIDES my ‘real’ answer…I’d love to be like Lauren on SYTYCD. Is it weird that I idolize an 18-yr-old?!?!?
