Keep Calm and...

I have wanted one of these posters for SUCH a long time and was really happy to get one for this review.  (I got mine in "Parisian Blue" and it's just adorable). Have I mentioned how much I love this blogging gig?  KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON is a really cute etsy store with something for everyone.  They originally started with their first store which carried the "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" posters in every shade you could imagine.  Then they spiced things up by changing the sayings to adpat to all sorts of personailities. I especially love these:

You can also find them with a cup o' java at http://www.etsy.com/shop/coffeeshop or more vintage inspired posters and prints at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/pixiepixels

Each poster is made with "premium acid free, archival paper and high quality, and fade resistant ink."  With 100% positive feedback, they ship your poster in a very secure container to ensure that it comes to you in perfect condition. 

Here's a little bit about Melinda, the adorable store owner:
"My name is Melinda and art has always been a huge part of my life but I didn't know what an impact it would have on my life and others until I met my husband. While working as a graphic artist I had an opportunity to find a wonderful man who was not currently pursuing graphic design but had a college degree in the field. After he proposed to me in an art gallery, by painting "Will you marry me?" We have been great friends and business partners ever since. We combined our skills to create KEEP CALM SHOP along with our other etsy shops."

Want to win one?  Two lucky readers will get to have their own 13'' X 19'' poster!
How to enter:
1~MANDATORY: Head over to KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON and comment below about which poster is your favorite. For the mandatory entry you must include your selection and the name of one of the 30 colors.  I also must have a way to contact you back.  

Additional Entries:
