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
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SEALE ME!” and tell us…
  • 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!
  • DISCOUNT: Get 10% off on all orders placed through December 31, 2011 with the code YHL123

    Seale Me! :)

    I made my husband a card for each month of 2012 with a date idea for the month. Many of them also include groupons, etc. to help pay for our dates. Can’t wait for him to open it and can’t wait to go on monthly date nights!

    SEALE ME! (please)…The gift I’m most looking forward to giving is purple striped Ugg boots to my 8 year old niece (so cute). But the thing I’m looking most forward to DOING is holding my brand new baby niece again (we live in different states). Happy holidays! Really enjoy your blog. Can’t wait to see your kitchen cabinets painted.

    I love to bake and spend time with friends, so I’m planning several baking get-together (cookie decorating, tea and cookies, etc) for my daughters and our friends for the holiday season! The first one is tomorrow. I can’t wait!

    I’m looking forward to seeing the faces of those I love when they open the gifts under the tree; I’ve been especially crafty this year & even found the courage to open my sewing machine!

    I’m looking forward to my very first Christmas as a wife and a mother in our new home! So many changes this year :) I cannot wait to see my little 9-month old crawling towards her presents and ripping off the paper!

    Seale me! So excited to give my 4 year old her long awaited Rapunzel dress. She has consistently asked for this for months and months and was disappointed when a visit to Santa this weekend did not yield a dress…

    SEALE ME! I’m most looking forward to giving my TIME to my family! I recently left a very stressful job to have more time and mental energy for my husband and kids. There’s no better gift!

    I am most looking forward to the gift of closing on our house we are selling and the one we are purchasing this month!!! (It would be so fantastic to have our first house- the one we are selling- illustrated to frame as a keepsake).

    I am most looking forward to having some time off. I love being a bum around the house with my husband. I am also looking forward to having some time to paint one poor room that has multiple paint samples all over the walls.

    I can’t wait to spend this Christmas with my husband in our new house that we closed on in July. We’re both teachers so we will have two weeks off to enjoy our new home with family and friends. This is definitely the most wonderful time of the year for us!

    Seale me! I’m most looking forward to bringing my family homemade cream puffs from my aunt’s recipe. I made them for thanksgiving for my in laws as practice and they are ready for the real critics. I’m also looking forward to giving my nieces dolls designed by a small shop owner. They are going to be too cute.

    I am looking forward to seeing my brother for the holidays. He is in the Navy and I haven’t been able to see him since Christmas 2 years ago, so this Christmas is really special.

    I’m looking forward to spending Christmas as a family of three this year. Our baby girl is 9 months old and SO. MUCH. FUN!
    I made many of my gifts this year, so I’m looking forward to seeing the reactions from my family & friends.

    I’m looking forward to giving all the cute rocker-baby stocking stuffers I’ve been buying for my wanna-be rocker husband! (Fender-print onesie, Pearl Jam and U2 lullaby CDs…) Our little guy is due Jan. 23 – the best belated Christmas gift :)

    SEALE ME! Can’t wait to give our daughter photo shop for her computer. And I’m sure we’ll benefit from that gift too, as she is a talented amateur photographer.
