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.

    family me!

    no one would put us together as family because we’re all so different and quirky–and three of the six kids being Korean to the rest of the German-roots family makes it even more so! But I love it; and we love each other and wouldn’t have it any other way.

    FAMILY ME! Cheesy music links us all – songs that we could never publicly admit to liking. Neil Sedaka, Barry Manilow – I’ve got a three year old daughter now and she’s already being indoctrinated and starting to sing along – poor thing!

    FAMILY ME.

    I’m one of seven kids and we all have my Dad’s eyes, which are quite unique. Many people call them cat eyes. We grew up in a small town, and my Dad was the only 7th grade math teacher. Since every resident eventually passed through his class, you can only imagine that I didn’t get away with anything because I was always recognized by my eyes!

    I’m pregnant with our first… well first AND second. So it’s hard to know what family traits we have yet until the girls are born! We can’t wait to see what personalities they have and which one(s) of us they take after! I can’t wait to see what they look like!! July can’t come soon enough. :)

    The tie that binds us together is love. We like to think with our family that opposites attract! So far that theory was worked well for us!!
