Fab Freebie: Home Sweet Illustrated Home

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Random.org has surprised us this week and selected a male winner for the first time in foreverrrrrrr (shocking, we know). His name is… Thomas (and he’s looking forward to time off this holiday season). Congrats dude! (Congrats buddy? Congrats fella? I dunno, I’m so used to saying “Congrats ladies” I’m kinda at a loss).

One of our favorite things to give are custom house portraits (we’ve actually purchased two for my parents in the last year – and even bought one for ourselves). So as we enter the giving-est time of the year, we figured it would be fitting to give one of you the gift of a house portrait too. We recently discovered Rebekka Seale’s too-charming-for-words illustrations (Sherry’s ridiculously smitten), so wrangling her for a giveaway was at the top of our holiday to-do list. Happily, Rebekka was game. So she’s here to offer up a gift certificate for a custom house portrait along with the winner’s choice of any art print from her Etsy shop. Feel free to keep them for yourself, or wrap ’em up and put them under the tree for someone else. Note: Rebekka’s all full on house portrait orders until after Christmas, which is why she’s doling out a gift card for one, which can be redeemed after the holidays.

Rebekka Seal House Portrait

  • PRIZE: A gift certificate for a custom house portrait along with your choice of any art print (up to $17 in value) from Rebekka Seale

  • BONUS QUESTION: … what are you most looking forward to giving this holiday season? Holiday cookies? The perfect sweater? Homemade crafts? Shearling dog boots (they actually make those)? Feel free to conceal the name of your recipient or talk in code, since we obviously don’t want you to give anything away too soon!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 7th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world!

    SEALE ME! I’m most looking forward to spending time together as a family . . . of 5! It will be our twins’ first Christmas, and big brother’s first where he understands the anticipation (he is 2). It’s homemade gifts for most of our family/friends, with a few others thrown in the mix!

    I’m most looking forward to giving and spending quality time with my husband and friends. My husband and I decided a few years ago just to give each other gifts for birthdays and it has made Xmas a lot more enjoyable. And a lot less stressful on the wallet since my b-day is only a few days beforehand. We only buy for our niece and nephews now!

    What a tough question! I love giving presents. The one I’m most excited about, should it come to “fruition” is something that rhymes with schmi schmad…

    My son is two and a half and he’s so exuberant about holidays – it’s infectious! I can’t wait to watch him open his presents. :)

    SEALE ME! My husband and I buy the Swarovski crystal ornament each year (from Costco), and over the last few years we’ve started buying two so we can give one to someone who has been a special part of our lives each year. This year we’re giving it to my brother, who we were out of touch with for a long time until he moved to our town last year. It’s been really great reconnecting, and I look forward to commemorating it in this way.

    I am looking forward to spending time with my family and having some time to relax. I’m refusing to participate in the hubbub this year and, instead, am going to focus on keeping it simple.

    I am most looking forward to seeing my sister and her son, and all of our family being together again — my parents, my sister and her son, my husband and daughter and our brother. Geography can be a bummer sometimes. :)

    Oh, and the cookies. Heh. The baking begins this week as I have a Christmas Cookie Exchange to go to on Sunday — need to bring 8 dozen, which, of course, means I get to bring that many home!

    And fingers are crossed ….
