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).

StarLand Logos

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!” and I would love to be a professional photographer. I think it’s so special when beautiful photos capture a moment or feeling frozen in time!

    I’m a star! I would be the best teacher the world has ever seen, and I would change California public schools so children still got a premium education. :)

    … a “Lucky Star” that is. I wanna be famous for my Madonna impersonation, which, by the way, I ROCKED this weekend at my friend’s 80s party :-)

    If I could obtain stardom, it would be for an environmental discovery, like finding a bacteria that eats oil or an efficient way to get people to recycle more.

    I’M A STAR! If I were famous, I would like it to be for doing excellent work for the kids at the facial reconstruction clinic I work at. If I wanted to be less gracious, I’d love to have a famous (and funded) travel show!

    I’M A STAR!!

    I’d want to be a world-renowned author. Traveling and talking about my writing would totally beat being a celebrity with all that paparazzi! On a more realistic note, I want to write about my experience as a single mom & the money I get from that would go towards a foundation for helping single parents (including scholarships and emergency help, etc.) Life long goal of mine =)

    I’M A STAR! I’ve always dreamed of doing something important enough that it would be worth of writing about in a history book. I’m not exactly sure what my mark is yet, but I’m working on it. :-)

    I’M A STAR! Well, not really. But I’d like to achieve stardom for writing a great novel… even though star-novelists are not exactly common.

    I’m a star! Would love to be a star homemaker (decorator, cook, seamstress). I have fabulous crafty ideas in my mind, but actually making them happen is another story!

    I’m a star!
    (but only in my own mind for now)

    I would love to combine my talents in physics and singing to really understand the human voice and to become famous in the vocal pedagogy world (although since I study hearing right now that might not actually happen)

    “I’M A STAR!”
    I have no desire to be a star, but I would love to one day have a book of my work published. And I’d say Ben’s would be to sign a good record deal.

    I would like to be famous for being awesome! Nah, I have no idea. I’m happier being not famous, I think.
