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!

    We’re all musicians – over 50 of my extended family members formed a family marching band and marched in our city’s
    sesquicentennial (150th) parade. Dorky, but we loved it!

    The women in my family have a goofy sense of humor, so we often laugh at jokes no one else really gets.

    FAMILY ME!

    My family is known for being LOUD! Seriously, when my mom married my father, she used to have to go sit outside periodically in the quiet at family gatherings for a break! My great-grandfather came from a family of 12, loud, German siblings…and the trait has continued down to my generation without much watering down! :)

    FAMILY ME!

    The beach, camping, kayaking and anything outdoors is what drives our family time. We love taking trips together and exploring new places. :) I have to say, I’ve had this Etsy store “loved” for a long time now and was HOPING to get one of these for Mother’s Day. Alas….now I am hoping for winning this instead!

    My family is very close, that’s what I’d say ties us together. We always support one another and I talk to my parents everyday, sometimes several times a day.

    Everyone on my dad’s side of the family has very specific traits including always putting cards and letters back inside envelopes after they’ve been read. We all do it subconsciously and it drives my mother crazy.
