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.

  • 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’d love to give one of these illustrations to my parents – they just moved out of the house that my mom really thought she’d live in forever, and I know she’d love to have it captured.

    As for what I’ll actually be giving – I have NO idea… it’s been a crazy few months and I’m super far behind on my holiday preparation!

    SEALE ME!

    I love giving presents SO much more than getting them. The hardest part is waiting all December to tell people what I got for them! My fiancé really wants to brew his own beer so I got him a whole kit. We’ve been saving non-screwtop bottles for my “un-named Pinterest project” but really they’re to help him get started!

    I gathered all the photos I’ve taken of my husband with our son and am making a photo book – it is a gift for my husband, but as my son gets older I think he will love it too! He is exactly 2 weeks younger than Clara – what a fun age, right? :)

    SEALE ME!!!

    My parents and I head up to the middle of nowhere Maine for a week right after Christmas where there is nothing but silence and snow. I CANNOT wait to relax there- and the hubby is coming too for the frist time this year and I can’t wait for him to experience it!

    I’m looking forward to giving my son his “Santa” gifts, since this may be the last year he still believes.
