Certifikid Deal Write Up
Do you remember the first time you went to a planetarium? Can you recall that sense of awe as the sky “opened” up above your head and you gazed upon the stars in wonder? Or how about when you took your first camping trip in the woods as a young child and how excited you felt to look up at night and see more stars in the sky than you had ever seen before?
Imagine tucking in your little one under their own starry sky each and every night. That is exactly what Cosmic Rooms is all about.
The gifted Starscapes® Artist from Cosmic Rooms hand paints each and every twinkle with high quality non-toxic glow paint, so just like the stars themselves, no two ceiling murals are ever alike and the stars are only seen in the dark. Virtually invisible by day or when room lighting is on, your unique stargazing mural will compliment any children’s room theme now and in the future. Popular themes such as castle, galactic space adventures, nautical, rain forest, safari, playhouse, angels and fairies, favorite animals, and sports themes will be made a little more special with stars. Your kids won’t be able to wait to show it off, and will be the envy of all their friends.
Most rooms are completed by the artist in a day, while the glowing effects will last for hours each night and for years to come with no diminished effect. It’s the safe, no maintenance, eco-friendly way to add a special touch to your child’s room. It’s simply sweet for a nursery, the perfect night light for young children, and teenagers think it’s super cool.
Cosmic Rooms is relaxing, can be educational, and will surely spark imagination. Watch your kids smile in amazement and delight as if their ceiling has been magically removed and replaced with thousands of glowing stars! Inspire dreams of far off worlds, on-going missions and treks through the stars to frontiers yet to be explored with a personalized night sky right in your child’s room.

It’s been 8 great years painting starscapes!
by jean on Jun.10, 2011, under Artist Updates, Starscapes® Business, Website Updates
June 9th marked my 8th anniversary as a starscapes artist-illusionist. It’s almost hard to believe that it’s been 8 years! I remember when I first found out about this type of business and was super excited to learn to paint stars. To embark on a new journey, who knew back then where it would take me and that I would stick to doing this for so long. I can’t imagine not painting starscapes, it’s such a cool service to offer to people, everyone seems to be amazed by it. 
And it all started from a little bottle I called “Starlit Beach”. It’s a combination of a beach in a bottle, filled with some sand and seashells. Small crystals and stones were added to make the most soothing sound as you move the bottle around. Iridescent gitter along with my secret ingredient of glow in the dark sand. Iridescent/prism color tiny shapes of hearts, stars, and moons were also inside starlit beach. It’s such a beautiful little bottle….then I ran out of the glow in the dark specks of sand! It’s not “starlit” without the glow in the dark sand.
I looked everywhere at retail stores and none had it, I think it was fluke I found it at a place a long time ago that was going out of business. My search lead me online and I am not sure I ever found it again, I haven’t made a starlit beach in a very long time, maybe because it was missing the one key item. But through my research, I chased links on websites and stumbled upon the starscapes business opportunity….and the rest is history!
8 years later and here I am, I have written a small ebook about my experience with getting into this star painting business and I’ve painted dozens of murals to date! I’ve even expanded and branched out from the usual starscapes themes with themes of my own along with day time clouds murals too! I’ve been an innovator with this business and have been leading the way through mentoring others who are starting out as a painter of dreams. 
It hasn’t always been an easy road, in fact, I don’t recall it ever really being all that easy with starting any venture on your own. Any type of business, especially home based businesses require so much more hard work because you’re basically a one man/woman show. From sales and marketing to the customer service and don’t forget the painting! I don’t have a crew of people lugging around my equipment and prepping my rooms, it’s just me. How I fit everything in my car boggles my mind, THAT is an illusion in and of itself! I am a master illusionist at this point, 8 years is a long time to still be actively painting…..and I wouldn’t want it any other way. 
There’s been ups and downs but am I glad I am a starscapes artist? HECK YEAH! I paint stars, how cool is that?? I put smiles on people’s faces! I inspire others, I help them relax! I bring joy to little kid faces, what kid doesn’t LOVE stars? Kids of ALL ages LOVE LOVE LOVE stars! And most I hope are a kid at heart, life is too short to not live carefree and have what makes you happy.
Who knows what I’d be doing right now if I never found Starscapes….
As a celebration, I have rolled out some new discounts for my 8 year anniversary and it’s also my birthday month! Visit my cosmic rooms specials page for complete details on the giant sale!
I have also added a new social media discount that will be an ongoing thing as i am in the process of expanding my marketing efforts to include more of facebook and twitter. You can get an additional 5% off your mural price, other discounts are included too, when you follow the easy 6 steps to give us easy shout out on facebook and twitter! You can find more info on that under my social media discount section.
Two is good but three is better! I also rolled out the newest installment of payment plans…well, not so much a payment plan but it’s a “lock in a sale price deposit option“! This is for the serious folks who know they will get a mural done but can’t right this moment and still want to take advantage of a good sale to lock in the discounts. I’m really excited about this as there are two options for the deposit so it should work for most people. All this info is on the same page, just a different section.
And then there was four! Show us support by following the social media discount steps and if you don’t happen to be in the Maryland and surrounding area for me to paint you a mural, you can send me your mailing address and I’ll mail you a free Cosmic Rooms logo pen! It is the best writing ball point pen I have ever used! Seriously, my teenager niece used to swipe a pen everytime she came over saying how it’s like her “soul mate” pen because it writes so perfectly! You’ll like this pen, everyone who’s gotten a pen from me really like the way it writes, I had tested a bunch of pens before choosing this one! And the colors are fun and vibrant, perfect for summer time!
Anyway, 8 years, I had to reflect a bit on my star painting career and roll out some new stuff! I did say before that I am innovative, right? You won’t see any other star painter offer so much and I am happy to give out discounts if it means more people will get to smile at my beautiful artwork
The music for the Crayola Glow Chalk Commercial is so catchy
by jean on May.18, 2011, under Glow Products
Lately, they’ve been running the commercial for the Crayola Glow Chalk with the kids dancing around drawing with the glow chalk in a room. I’ve seen it a bunch and the jingle for it is very catchy. I find myself humming it with the commercial and afterwards too.
What is interesting is their concept for the glow chalk, they have kids drawing it on the floor and on the walls in a huge room. Don’t most kids use chalk outside on the sidewalk? or on a chalkboard indoors? I can see how cool it would look as the glowing effects from the chalk seen in the Crayola glow chalk commercial is similar to the glowing effects of the stars I paint….however, my stars look a lot better and glow longer.
I see also in the commercial they are using a blacklight to illuminate the chalk drawings for their glowing effects. I’d imagine anyone using the chalk will need something similar to really show off the glow of the chalk.
Regardless of my observations, I’d be curious to get some of the Crayola glow chalk just to see for myself how well it works and how long it will glow, after all, it is a kids toy unlike the professional grade glow paints I use for my stargazing ceiling murals of the glow in the dark stars!
