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!

    “SEALE ME!”

    I’m looking forward to giving my daughter a FIJIT Friend.

    She asked for one for her birthday (Dec.8th) and I told her that she had enough dolls already so she’s going to be really excited to get it for Christmas! :)

    I am most looking forward to winter break from school, when we can all spend a bit more time together just riding our bikes, walking on the beach, and catching up with friends and family.

    I’m most looking forward to giving my mom the dress form she has been wanting for years and that my sister in-law and I stayed up all night on Thanksgiving to buy 1/2 off at 6:00 am! We can’t wait to see her face on Christmas morning!

    I’m most looking forward to giving my mother 3 hours of “slave labor” to help her get her house in order. She had my grandmother (who just recently passed) in hospice at her home, and before that was taking care of my grandparents for several years. In the meantime, she wasn’t able to organize her house as much as she wanted and couldn’t even direct me when I offered my help. Now it’s time to do something for her!

    I am looking forward our “family gift” of a gps so that we can go geocaching. I think they’re going to love the time hiking & exploring outside, looking for treasure!

    My siblings and I just give each other stocking stuffers, so it’s always fun to find sweet little things for them. This year I’m planning to give them yummy hot pepper jam and organic candy canes.

    My favorite time at Christmas is when my daughter wakes up and sees the presents. The joy on her face brings it all back for me.

    I cannot wait until my husband opens one of his gifts I just got for FREE! He’s been wanting a certain board game since last year and I was able to save up $5 Target gift cards(they have special deals every week on certain items) to buy it for him! Typically games are cheap but this one was $50 so it took me a while to save them up.

    SEALE me. I’m most looking forward to getting our pet portraits back from a charity photo shoot we attended this weekend. I am hoping we can give them to friends and relatives as our engagement photos and we will introduce our two new rescue dogs in our holiday cards this year.
