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.

    I have just measured my 13 year old daughter and I am now officially the shortest person in my family. I am 5′ 7″, I guess that would make us a family of tall folk!

    FAMILY ME! My family consists of me, my husband, his two kids, and our baby. There are many days that I struggle to feel like a family, but when I see that the kids are living the values that brought my husband and me together, I really feel like we are a family.

    FAMILY ME! I think laughter makes us similar and sane. Height is another trait with all of us being rather tall (at least 6’1″ except for my mom who we’re all happy to help when she needs things from high-up cupboards).

    FAMILY ME!
    My family–my husband and I–are held together through our silliness, our desire to playfully debate the smallest of issues (we met in English class, so that trait follows), and our stubbornness when it comes to our commitment to each other. We look far, far into the future and think of when we’re both hobbling along with our tennis-ball walkers. In the end, we may not have much money or be known for something big, but we’re going to stay together and stay loving each other every day, just to get to that quiet intimacy in old age. Our anniversary (tomorrow!!!! We’ve made a huge cake!) is one of the most important days of the year.

    My extended family is just plain weird! :) There’s always something crazy happening (when there were four baby raccoons at my grandmother’s birthday party, no one batted an eye!) and you’ve never heard “Happy Birthday” sung quite the way we do… otherwise your ears would be bleeding!
