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!

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

    SEALE ME! I’m looking foward to spending our first year in our new house with our pup. It’s his first real Christmas since last year we had to kennel him over the holidays while we were away. I’ve already gone crazy buying him sweaters and toys and treats to fill his Hello Kitty stocking (he LOVES kitties!). I think we need a baby to get us over this obsession we have with our dog!

    SEALE ME! I am in a new house, and getting to use my Nana’s Christmas decorations. SO, needless to say I am looking forward to seeing my new baby all decked out and seeing my family ornaments and decorations brought out of storage and put to use again! Nothing makes a house feel like a home more than family Christmas decorations.

    I’m most looking forward to giving my sister her gift (I won’t say what it is, just incase she stumbles across this!) because her reactions to presents are so fantastic – she’s always so genuinely appreciative and thankful and enthusiastic.

    We need your inspiration to get our tree decorated. It’s been sitting in the stand for several days as we continue to do other projects.

    I am most looking forward to giving our kids the gifts they requested from Santa! My 5 year old wants an Angry Birds board game and my 3 year old wants a Squinkie castle…can’t wait to see their faces Christmas morning.

    I’m looking forward to Christmas dinner with my immediate family. I love the big family party, but there’s something nice about being with my parents and brothers- and this year, my new husband!

    SEAL ME!!! We are planning to give pictures of us in front of our NEW HOME! We are so excited! We haven’t even been able to move in yet though . . . had to redo the entire bathroom. But the day is coming near! It would be so great to have our new home in a portrait like this!

    SEALE ME!
    My aunt and uncle are moving out of the house they’ve lived in 40+ years and I’d LOVE to give them a portrait of their home for Christmas! But if that doesn’t work out, I’m most looking forward to making (and gifting) my traditional decapitated gingerbread people, complete with horrified expressions and lots of blood. (blood = red drippy icing.) It’s a tradition to send one friend a box of gingerbread heads and another a box of headless gingerbread bodies. It is my favorite part of the holiday season.

    I am looking forward to giving my wife some awesome stuff I found on Etsy. Organic cotton napkins, handmade soaps, and a couple unique pieces of art for the walls of our new house.

    A plaque containing a piece of the basketball court of my father’s (and my mother’s… and my) alma mater. As a crazy University of Dayton Flyers fan, I think he’ll enjoy it :-)

    I always loving giving the hubs his presents because it’s just another way to show him how grateful I am for him. I’m also really excited for this year because I’m refinishing/reupholstering a chair for my sister – using your tutorials! :)

    I’m looking forward to hot weather, skirts, cherries, pavlova, and all the other fun Christmas things that we do here in Australia! (Though I would love a white Christmas once in my life!)

    SEALE ME! I’m most looking forward to gifting my wonderful mother in law her certificate for an overnight stay at an exotic feline rescue… She hasn’t stopped talking about going since she heard about our visit.
