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!

    I love being cuddled up by the tree at my parents’ house. So cozy and filled with warm memories. :) Ho ho ho!

    I learned how to embroider this fall, and am making hand-stitched ornaments for family, including one for my infant daughter – hopefully the first ornament of many for her through the years. I’m enjoying the process.

    This would be such a wonderful gift for my mom and her fiance as they just finished redoing their dream house. I’m most looking forward to seeing my family open their presents and seeing my 1.5 year old nephew again :-)

    I am looking forward to seeing the look on our 3 year old’s face Christmas morning. She has a special toy she has not stopped talking about that Big Red is supposed to drop off. It’s big, pink, and makes noise… of course!

    It’s too hard to pick one thing I’m looking forward to giving this Christmas – I just love giving presents, even more than getting them!

    I’m most excited about giving my time to my family. No gifts this year, just family time.

    My husband and I also donated a bunch of dog food/cat food to our local humane society this past weekend, so we felt pretty good about that!

    I am looking forward to seeing my beautiful nieces and nephews who live down in Richmond, VA. I live in Metro Detroit, Michigan so we do not see each other often! Can’t wait to see them and have fun down in warmer weather!!

    SEALE ME! I look forward to our Christmas light tour. It’s one of the few times I actually can relax during the season b/c we’re riding in a car and there’s nothing I can do without the kids knowing! :-)

    I am so excited to give my dad his present… a custom-made braided horsehair belt. His favorite one has started to fray and I think he’s going to be so surprised and excited to get a new one.
