And the lucky / randomly selected / soon to be quite worldly person is… Briana (who says “London, Ontario is special to me.

And for everyone else, scroll down to the contest entry details for a sweet little discount the Wallpapered folks added for everyone.
One look at Pinterest and I don’t feel quite so alone in my fascination with maps. So to everyone else out there who digs a little cartography in their design, hold on to your seats. This week the people behind Wallpapered are giving one of you a nice big 8ft x 5ft world map wallpaper kit so that you can add a map-tastic mural to your home. As much as I love the various world map styles they offer, the coolest feature (at least to me) is that you can also get custom area map wallpaper that basically zooms into a postal code of your choosing. So you could order custom wallpaper showcasing your favorite big city – or even the small town that you grew up in.

I’m pretty in love with our current location of Fort Collins, CO. Even though as far as maps go, Colorado’s one of the most boring shaped states. Gotta go with my home state of Indiana for the map asthetics. :)

World me!
I love maps and showing my son where we live, Florida, and where my husband and I met, New York We like to map out our trips, too.. Quick funny story..We drive to NY each summer, and we stop in Richmond overnight on the way up. Last summer, when my son was 3, we pulled in to Richmond (the exit by the Omni, and drove down the street and my son actually said to us, “hey, we have been here before. This is Richmond..remember when we sat downstairs at the pizza place and then we moved because they were playing music and mommy said it was too loud? ” My husband and I could not believe it..we had both forgotten the incident…we had indeed gone to eat pizza at Bottoms up! How he remembered the town just by driving down the cobblestone streets and looking at the brick buildings is beyond me! He had only spent a night there. Richmond is just a memorable place, I guess!
