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 really think the thing that makes us all the same is the fact that we love to be around our huge family…without that, we are all complete opposites!

    Family ME!!! My husband and I are both musically talented – so we always get asked to perform together at various church and family events. We’re also pretty quirky and creative: we once made a 6-foot-tall, 3D, cardboard Big Ben as a prop for a play and a Queen Victoria costume from some hula hoops, a duvet cover, and bits of my wedding dress accessories!

    My family is small, just my husband and myself, but we share a pride in our heritage. We both had a good laugh when we started dating and found out that the only tattoo each other had was of our ancestor’s nations (me, Cherokee and him, Palestine). Our children will me quite the mix!

    FAMILY ME!! In my family, red hair is the theme. Mom passed it on to all 3 of us kids, my dad used to have a red mustache, until it grayed out, and my husband even has red in his beard! Hopefully our kids will have red as well :)

    FAMILY ME! We are a blended family, made up of myself and my two teenage daughters and my husband-their step-father. We’ve been married 5 years now and the thing that TIES us together is our individuality and expression. We have gauged ears, all of us. Change are hair color all the time and encourage my daughters to EXPRESS themselves. MUSIC is a HUGE part of our lives..both girls sing, one plays keyboard and guitar. We share our love for old school and we learn their ‘new school’ music. From Johnny Cash and The Beatles and more to BMRC and Jesse Dayton and locally to Hayes Carll and John Evans. We drown ourselves in music and art. Ooh ART is another…painting, drawing, ANY ART.

    FAMILY ME!!

    My family has a tradition that’s been passed down since my great-grandmother. On your birthday you get butter smeared on your nose to help you “slide through the next year.” It’s an odd tradition but it makes for some great family photos, especially when you add in the “surprise” factor. I’m trying to make a “Butter Book” for my Dad for his birthday documenting past years of buttering noses in the family :-)

    I’m a single mom, and my daughters and i love just being together. My oldest and I love reading (trying to push my younger into that.. but it aint working).. we love watching shows and movies… and putting on our record player (yes… a record player) and even just laying in mommy’s big bed and talking about silly things.
