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.

    Most looking forward to getting out of town this year! I’ve never done Christmas away from home (or somebody’s home whether it’s a friend’s or family member’s) but this year my family is up and jetting down to New Orleans for a celebratory season in the Crescent City.

    Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

    I am looking forward to giving gifts that portray thoughtfulness. And if I don’t have time for that, I will be likely giving out a lot of books and scarves.

    SEALE ME! This is the first year our now three year old gets the idea of Santa, so I am SO excited to bring him to meet the big man himself.

    I am looking forward to hopefully buying my parents a computer since theirs has been down all year long and as parents go, they would rather spend money on others rather than themselves. …Now if only I could find a good deal I could afford….

    SEALE ME! I love this idea! This Christmas, I’m trying my hand at being crafty and I’m making pajama bottoms for everyone this year. I really hope they turn out!

    The gift I may be most excited about giving is to my husband – I’m NOT giving homemade gifts this year. I overdid last year and give handmade everything, and stressed him out completely. This year he gets the gift of peacefulness – at least that’s the idea.

    A print would be PERFECT for my sis & her family, indeed. :)

    Merry Christmas to all!

    SEALE ME! I got my 4-year-old daughter an absolutely amazing gift from an Etsy seller (neededwanted)–she prints a map of your area onto vinyl with roads the right width for a matchbox-sized car to drive along, complete with road names, creeks, etc. So cool! My daughter explicitly asked for a “map I can drive my cars on, either the United States or Ireland” (????), but I hope this will do. ;)

    SEALE ME…I can’t wait to have everyone gather at our house for Christmas. It is our first Christmas as a married couple and in our new home. Everyone is coming over for dinner and games on the 17th and I can’t wait to have everyone together.

    I WAS looking forward to finally surprising my husband with a gift he hadn’t guessed in advance… until yesterday when, out of the blue, he guessed it. There is NO way he snooped on this one. I think he has xray vision.

    Due to some budget constraints this year (when will grad school end?!?!) I’m making presents this year. I’m looking forward to seeing what my family thinks of them. Thankfully there are A TON of ideas on Pinterest. I’ve been collecting them since September. Also, looking forward to relaxing with my family over a long break.
