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.

    We are all Notre Dame fans as most of us attend the university and/or married someone that did as well – it creates for some fun fall Saturdays and lots of trips back to campus. Go Irish!

    Family Me!!!

    Both my husband and I are HUGE readers. We both had to have an e-reader as soon and they came out and I think we went through a combined total of 18 books while on our honeymoon this last November. I LOVE that we are both content to just be in each others’ company and don’t have to constantly chatter!!

    Family Me! Some are athletic, some are not; some are scholarly, some are not. But I’d have to say one prevailing characteristic of a lot of people in our family is that we are TALL :).

    FAMILY ME! What ties our family together is the complete inability to sit still. My husband and I are always out and about, never able to sit still and relax, and then we’re all surprised when we have kids who are anything but laid back, they definitely take after us :)

    FAMILY ME!

    We are full of love. That’s a trait that binds us. Every night before we put our son to bed we say to him “we love you times all the stars in the sky” and he responds with “plus the moon” and we say back to him “times two” ! He’s only two and we thought it would be awhile till he said this to us on his own. His daddy and I started it weeks after we started dating 8 years ago. We fell for each other hard and one night when I was leaving him to go home, I needed a way to explain to him how much I love him and that was how it came out!

    Is it wrong to say we all share the ability to be weird? :) Crazy weird sense of humor. Like laugh at people when they get hurt. The ones that laugh and everyone else stares like, “What is she laughing at?!” It’s fun :)
