And the lucky / randomly selected / soon to be quite worldly person is… Briana (who says “London, Ontario is special to me. That’s where I first lived on my own, went to University, met my husband, and I just loved that city. Plus, it has the best spaghetti restaurant ever, Spageddy Eddy’s!”). Congrats! 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.

Sheena S says
WORLD ME!
I would choose a map of South Africa. Along with our two biological children, God has put a desire and calling in our hearts to bring home a child of his to also be a child of ours from that country. This is a scary, nerve-wracking, life-altering, overwhelming decision but also a humbling, loving, patience-building one. We pray about our future children everyday and hope that those little ones feel loved wherever they are at this moment. We are coming for you!
Andrea in Australia says

Kara says
WORLD ME
My heart got left in Portugal 2 years ago…I had the chance to live for 10 months in Lisbon on a missions trip. Pretty rough eh?? In those short 10 months, my heart fell in love with the country, the city of Lisbon, and the scenery, but most of all the beautiful people I got to know. Portugal changed my life.

WORLD ME!
Akumal, Mexico – family vacation spot for years and where my husband I got married!
Allison says
WORLD ME!!
Oh man, this is too cool! I would probably want a map of the whole state of Vermont. I grew up in one part of the state, went to college in another, met and lived with my husband in another, work in another and are soon moving to another! That’s a lot of moving around one (not huge) state! So needless to say it all means a lot to me and it would be so cool to have a map like this of my favorite place!
