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

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

    My best friend is getting married one week before Christmas. That should be awesome! (Denying myself cookies to fit in my bridesmaid dress = not so awesome! :-P)

    SEALE ME! I am most looking forward to giving to my mom this Christmas. She is on a fixed income and is upset that she really can’t afford to “do Christmas” this year. SO instead of giving gifts we are simply giving time spent together, but I have planned a 12 days of Christmas surprise for her with 12 days full of the small luxuries that she likes but can never afford on her income. My mama has always made sure I had wonderful Christmases and this way I can give that joy back to her.

    I’m giving my husband (a musician) his first piano. It’s an old, used one that I stripped it down, painted it a bright green, and plan on putting a giant red bow around!

    Seale me! I love those house portraits, and I was JUST talking to my husband about how we should have one made.

    I am making a bunch of gifts for our many extended family members – a plaque with a cute Italian quote painted on it. Can’t wait to see how they turn out!

    I’m looking forward to a brake from nursing school, hand making all my Christmas gifts this year, my baby’s second birthday (on Christmas Eve), and of course, the most important of all….

    The birth of our Savior!

    I’m excited about my cookie tins this year, since I’m getting all Pinterest-y and decorating Pringles cans, and the challenge is to make small, stackable cookies that’ll fit well! Fun to do something different than my normal cookie plates.

    I’m most looking forward to giving each of my family a CD recording of my Grandfather the day he gave us all money before he passed away. He recorded it on cassette tape and called it “The night that it rained dollar bills”. My Great Grandmother who has also passed is in the recording as well – so precious!

    My dad and step mom are moving out of the house I grew up in (and the house we made a new family in, when my dad remarried and I got two new step siblings), so I this year I’m definitely looking forward to spending one last Christmas inside that house we filled with so many memories. They move in January – so the holiday will be a bittersweet farewell for us all this year. Seale me!

    SEALE ME! Since renovations are pricey the husband and I are giving each other the gift of a functioning kitchen this year, so hopefully we’ll have it done by Christmas so we can make some cookies together! (And I’m also making him something handmade and sentimental… which is a secret!!)
