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.

- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WORLD ME!” and tell us…

Kate H says
WORLD ME! I would have to choose our current town, which happens to be Americas hometown :) my hubby and I grew up four houses away from each other and bought a house in the same town. We both moved to this town from other states, so we believe it was fate that brought us here, together.

World me!
I grew up in Provo, Utah and I love it. People move here from all over the country to attend college at Brigham Young University, and they often make fun of Provo when they do for its unique (Mormon) culture, but I am a staunch defender of P town! It’s a great place to live.

WORLD ME!
Aaaagh! In international competition! Wahoo!
Hmmm. I have so many ideas… I love the full world maps…but the Otway Ranges, Victoria, Australia holds a dear place in my heart where I grew up. Bannockburn would be a cool map…but I also hear there is a town called Willamina? which is the name of our daughter so maybe a map on her wall of Willamina could be very cute. Although we spell it Willemina…still, close!

I’m inclined to tap into my study abroad days when I was in New Zealand…there was this little dinky down called Wanaka that I just LOVED that I would love to memorialize; it’s on my list of things I want to do/see again at some point in my life! Here’s to hoping I make it all the way around the world–again!
Kerry says
