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! That couple silhouette is amazing!

    Something we all have in common is that we love good food! I think that ties almost all Southerners together, though, so it may not count :)

    We each have the same desire to laugh as much as possible and use our sense of humor to get through the craziness and tough times of life. Its a trait thats kept our family very close, happy, and of course laughing!

    We are tied together by our love for dance parties. With little ones who are 2 and 4 it is a great family bonding night when we crank up the tunes and dance like nobody’s watching!

    My husband tells me that when my sister and I laugh, it sounds like one person laughing in stereo. I guess that’s the tie that binds! :)

    On my mom’s side of the family (mom and her seven sisters) we are very loud, and gossipy. We are all also brown haired, light eyed, and have big chests :) Apparently I look EXACTLY like their one sister who passed away in her 20s.

    My sister and brother are more like my dad’s side of the family, tall and blond with blue eyes, and extremely smart and nerdy. I love them all!!

    I would say athleticism is definitely the family trait that unifies us. Example: We attended a graduation party yesterday and all of our family was there. We had a football throwing competition. Girls vs Girls and Guys vs Guys. I am proud to announce I was the winner the in girls division!
