Fab Freebies: Family Ties

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

Although only 3 will win free prints, everyone can score free shipping on Genuinely Yours orders before June 30th with code YHL2011FS. And according to random.org, our trio of winners are… Alicia (whose family all shares their mom’s dark eyes), Sondra (who feels like she gave birth to three exact clones of her husband) and Erica (whose first two kids have her eyes, but the third got daddy’s). Congrats ladies!

This giveaway combines some of our favorite things: silhouettes, colorful art, and family (if there were a ceramic animal or a map involved, our heads might explode). So needless to say, this prize from Etsy seller Genuinely Yours gets us going. She designs graphic prints that are customized to feature your family, your choice of color, and even your preferred language (good thing, since this prize goes anywhere in the world). So this week THREE of you can pick either her modern spin on the family tree or her silhouette-y take on the family portrait (she does couples too).

Genuinely Yours

  • PRIZE: A family tree, family silhouette or couples silhouette in either 8″ x 10″ or 11″ x 14″ from Genuinely Yours
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “FAMILY ME! and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … tell us what trait or quality ties your family together. Are you all known for being particularly athletic? Bookish? Funny? Friendly? Or maybe you all share a common physical trait?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 25th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: Three
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere on the entire planet!
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

Note: We weren’t paid or perk’d for hosting this giveaway, we just like rewarding our lovely readers! See our Giveaway FAQs page for more info. Pics from Genuinely Yours.

    My husband and I (no babies yet) are both tall, brown hair and blue eyed. Hopefully our future kids will be so lucky to have our traits.

    FAMILY ME!!!

    As a new mama, I’m still caught in the middle between my nuclear, birth family, and my new teeny tiny family of 3.

    My birth family is a loud, blended, feminine mess. 5 girls, separated by 6yrs of age. We pride ourselves on OVER communication, always talking and emotional and loving.

    As for my little family, of my husband, our daughter, and myself…we’re lucky, jetsetters. He works for Southwest, and has incredible luck with winning tickets, or great hotel deals…so the three of us travel as much as possible!

    Because of our combined, blended family, I would LOVE that family tree. Because of all the step/foster/re-married people in our lives, our family tree is more like a subway map of love.

    FAMILY ME…
    Most everyone on my dad’s side of the family is highly athletic – somehow I missed out on that gene. Though many also have the signature (aka large) schnoz that I also missed out on, so can’t complain there!

    I just had to laugh when you suggested bookish – I’m a librarian who just had to admit to her coworkers that her father has never had a library card. I wish that was our family tie, I have lots of suggestions for him!

    And we’re tall & awkward.
