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.

  • 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

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!

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world!

    This Christmas will be a little different for us, since we just had twins 3 weeks ago, but I am excited to put a Christmas tree up! Everything else will be low key, but we couldn’t miss out on a Christmas tree.

    SEALE ME! I am looking forward to giving Hawaiian gifts (chocolate covered macadamia nuts! mmm), since we are spending the holiday with my parents in Maui. Also, I would love to give the house portrait to my parents (as a thank you for the Maui holiday…!) since their home is amazing.

    This is the first Christmas all 7 grandkids will spend together. Their poppy (grandfather) is getting on with health issues, and the joy of seeing his 6 grandsons and 1 princess together, swimming in a pool under the hot Aussie Christmas sun will be a priceless memory.

    Seale Me! Me Me Me!

    Even though I’m REALLY looking forward to visits with family and friends from afar, I’m most looking forward to that moment when we’re home, the coming and going is over, and we sit on the couch and have a quiet, lovely evening. My favorite!

    SEALE ME! I am looking forward to giving gifts to my husband and family members. I put a lot of time and thought (probably too much) into each gift and am so excited to see their faces when they open each one!

    I’m looking forward to give my cousin a bow ring. She was obsessed with one Emma Watson wore, which I can’t find online and anyway probably costs a zillion dollars, but I hope to find her something similar. I want to surprise her, but I hope she didn’t ask anyone else for it!
