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!

    This is the first year that my eldest son really knows what’s going on so I am enjoying watching him seeing the magic of Christmas!

    SEALE ME! I am looking forward to finally having some time with my little sister. it’s been a hard time for her health wise this year. She almost died twice. The one thing she wants for Christmas is a tattoo remembering our granfather. Because of her condition, she wasn’t able to. But I am taking her to get her first tattoo in two weeks for her Christmas gift. I am looking forward to sharing the experience with her. She’s the strongest most wonderful person I know.

    SEALE ME! These are awesome!! I’m most looking forward to giving the beauty finds I’ve discovered since I started my beauty blog. I’m always advising friends and family of what they should use, so it’s nice to just treat them with stuff I know they’d never buy. I love to give homemade art as well. :-) Pinterest has been hugely inspiring as well – just this AM I saw teacups that read: Tequila and Vodka. LOVE.

    SEALE ME! I can’t wait to set up a playroom in the basement at our new house… a Christmas morning surprise for our four little ones. They’ll be shocked, and I may love it as much as they will!

    I am most looking foward to completing our random acts of kindness. We were inspired as a family by another blogger and so this is not only for our countdown to Christmas, we’ve added on a few extras to do on my birthday!

    I’m looking forward to giving my dog a fancy memory foam dog bed (he has a little arthritis). I haven’t decided on gifts for most of my family yet, but him I have all figured out.

    SEALE ME! :) I’ve bought some sweet cloth covered little photo albums (brag books) and filled them with photos of our life over the past year, to send to our families overseas who haven’t seen us in at least that long. I’m sure they’ll love seeing photos of all the things we’ve been talking about on skype!

    Seale me! We moved into our new house around the same time you did and have been having lots of fun gussying it up and trying not to go broke. Between dining room tables, appliances, couches, beds, and more, we haven’t had much left for sweet artwork and decorations like this.

    This Christmas is our first in our first home – first lights, first tree, first turkey… Lots of firsts and we’re looking forward to it all!

    I’ve already got the perfect spot picked out for Rebekka’s custom painting of our home – in the alcove at our front door, for all our guests to see. :)

    I look forward to giving my husband a giclee print of an amazing painting by Sarah Yuster. It shows a view of the city from the top of Victory Boulevard in Staten Island. It’s a view we both remember from forever–but he grew up right around there, and it’s particularly special to him.
