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.

World me!!
I always dreamed about NYC, even as a child. And 2 years ago I finally got to go. It was everything I thought I would be and more. I could not believe this place I watched on TV & read about my whole life was real. It also is the only time my hubby & I have gone anywhere alone-for more than a few hours:)
Pam says

WORLD ME!
A little spot called Bagni della Regina Giovanna, just outside of Sorrento, Italy! It literally translates to “Bath of Queen Giovanna” and it is a little lagoon. My husband and I heard about it on the last day of our honeymoon and hiked all over creation looking for it! We finally found it and it was more beautiful than anything! We had it all to ourselves that day…spent the last day of our honeymoon just relaxing and being together. Perfect!
