CONGRATULATIONS Aimee (comment #49) and Ginny (comment #70)! Please contact me within 48 hours to claim your prize. Thanks to all who participated!
I’m thrilled to offer two lucky readers a Roots of Time Family Tree Kit for free! (Each is a $40 value!)
The Roots of Time Family Tree Kit is an easy and attractive way to display your family genealogy. You can create a unique and professional-looking family tree that you’ll be proud to display in your home.
I’ve seen one of these family trees completed – it really is a beautiful way to celebrate “family.” The family tree is made of quality archival materials and can be assembled in your home quickly and easily. I’d like one for our own home.
The kit consists of one tree serigraph, a set of two-tone adhesive leaves, four legal-sized leaf imprint templates, one leaf placement guide, one family tree reference guide, and how-to instructional booklet, including tips on family research, and access to online leaf personalization system.
You simply write your family names on the leaves, or use the online leaf personalization system to do it with your printer. Place the self-adhesive leaves to the tree and voila! All you need to purchase is a frame.
To be considered for the contest, please visit the Roots of Time site and then come back here to comment about how you would use the Roots of Time family tree. You can participate even if you don’t have a blog. Just make sure you leave a working email when you leave your comment. US addresses only. I’ll choose the winner at random after 5 p.m. CST on Friday, October 31.
We host regular giveaways for parents and educators. Please consider signing up for updates by email or feed. We will never spam you or give out your address.

WOW! What a wonderful way to show your family tree. I have been doing genealogy for some time and continue to try and figure out how to display it except for onthe computer that is. I would love to be able to have something like this especially as my kids get older so that they can see how deep our roots really go!
6:25 am
This is such a wonderful idea. I would use this to help my kids remember their family. Most of my relatives are deceased and dad’s live out of state. This would be great way of reminding them of their roots.
8:20 am
It is so pretty! I would put this together with my oldest daughter as we study our family history. We would probably stretch it out by doing a little at a time to leave time to discuss and dig up information as we go. What a great giveaway! Thanks for hosting this!
9:28 am
Once when we were visiting a historic house, in one of the bedrooms there was a similar family tree displayed – except the leaves were all the handwritten names in tiny script – ever since I’ve wanted to duplicate that – but no talent here.
I’d love to win your family tree kit! It would be fun to work on with the kids so they can have a better idea about this crazy large family of ours.
9:39 am
I would fill these out for my mom and mother-in-law – they love family history but this is such a great way to display them – just beautiful! I may have to get an additional one for me
10:08 am
The Roots of Time Family Tree kit is great. I would have intergenerational conversations and build history together with my 5 year old grandson. The project would also include my 3 adult children and the great grandparents also. Thanks for the idea and potential gift!
10:11 am
I would use that cute family tree to teach my kids about their ancestors and family who have passed on and the lives of those people.
12:37 pm
i love this! it is so classy! this would be an awesome christmas gift-and I’d also love one for myself.
12:39 pm
This would be a great way to score points with my mother in law! She is really into geneology so I would give it to her for Christmas so she can fill it out and display it. She would love it!
1:01 pm
Wow – what a great idea! I have both a mother and mother-in-law that have everything and want for nothing. This would be a great gift!
1:14 pm
These would make a great Christmas gift for my mom. They are beautiful!
1:27 pm
This is so cool! And I love that you can personalize & print from their website (since my handwriting is atrocious). I really can’t decide if I would keep it for myself, or give it as a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law.
1:51 pm
What a beautiful way to celebrate family! My daughter would love to put this together with me. She’s fascinated by stories about my youth, and by stories from my parents and grandparents about their youth, and this looks like a wonderful way for her to help visualize the connections in our family! Her brother would be able to appreciate it and learn from it as he grows up as well.
2:03 pm
This is beautiful! THis would be a wonderful Christmas gift that would definitely be a family heirloom!
3:08 pm
I would love to have this in my room! Thank you so much!
Caroline
P.S. Visit my blog please!
3:55 pm
Those are so neat! I would LOVE to make on for my grandparents for Christmas!
3:58 pm
10-4 on a wonderful way to show your children just where they DID come from. Having traced one side of my family back to the days of Christ (lucked out with a real Genealogy buff in the family on the maternal side who located a book that included my great-great grandmother and backwards from her)I feel the leaves needed for my tree would fill an auditorium! lol.
However, on the paternal side I hope Kelly or maybe Darla will one day get us off the North American continent to our REAL roots in Norway. Gee I wish people had not changed their names on the boat when they immigrated here!!
Maybe I could just start with ME and go forward to Kelly, Darla and Craig -(couldn’t forget my favorite son-in-law though). What a BEAUTIFUL family tree that would make for one small wall in my home!
4:06 pm
i would put this in my living room. How beautiful!

I have been researching our family tree for 5 years now and love it. My daughter and I do it in the summer when she has more time. I would love to win this so she and I could do this project together.

Thanks for the giveaway!

I have a large family so this would be perfect! There are already 30 of us, counting my parents, siblings and their children. We need a way to show all of this!

8:32 am
I would love this for my mom. My mom and her cousin have been working on the family tree for a long time. They can go back really far on some parts of the family tree. I love to see her be able to look at it and see that her hard work came together nicely.
8:54 am
How cool! I’ve always wanted to research my family tree and this would be a good incentive!
9:02 am
I would love to have this tree for my family. We have a large family (I am adopted so there are two separate families to document). It would be a great way for my kids to remember their loved ones.

12:12 pm
I would love to have this as a keepsake for our family. We are small, but wide spread!
12:33 pm
Wow, that is so pretty when it’s all put together! My mom would love this. She is really into our genealogy so I’d give it to her. It’d be a great Christmas gift.

12:58 pm
I would hold on to this until my wedding and then my husband and I could sit down afterwards and add our families onto there. Then we could display it proudly in our living room.
1:27 pm
how cool and unique! A great christmas gift
1:34 pm
It would be so tempting to keep it, but I would probably give it as a gift to my mom and dad.
1:40 pm
we do a family reunion every year and this would be a perfect way to display everyone’s relations!

3:49 pm
I would LOVE this! I would love to make this a family event (completing the family tree) and it would look oh so lovely in our living room! Thanks!
3:50 pm
Wow, that is beautiful! I would love to do this! I have been trying to research my geneology, but having better luck with my husband’s! Maybe this would inspire me again!
4:09 pm
How beautiful! This would go on our “family wall” where we have lots of pictues of our extended family but nothing quite like this.
4:38 pm
I would love to display my family tree in my home! This is such a cute creative way to let my kids so where they come from. Thanks!
4:45 pm
That is great! It makes your geneology fun to do. I’d put all the family names on it and up on the wall it would go.
5:45 pm
This is the cutest family tree I’ve ever seen. I’d use this to teach my son all about his family and where he came from.
5:56 pm
I would love to have one of these to document my side of the family. My husband has all sorts of research and family trees for his side of the family, I have nothing for mine. I fear my kids will be very one sided!
6:00 pm
This is really nice! It looks beautiful and I think I would have my fiance’s family help me get information and frame it for his mother for Christmas. It would look great in their living room and they have a very large family to fill all the leaves! I know she would really appreciate something like this.
6:03 pm
I LOVE this! I have a wall in my house dedicated to pictures of our ancestors. I would use this to add to it.
7:25 pm
Oh my goodness, these are BEAUTIFUL! Making a family tree has been on my list for months (ever since I found out we were moving out of state). I’ve got the perfect spot in my upstairs hallway for it!
Thank you so much for offering this…
7:26 pm
I would use this to tell my daughter about family members that have passed on.

9:20 pm
Oh, wow. I would love this. Both of my parents are still alive. My dad would really get into working on this. I would love to display this in my home.
9:33 pm
We homeschool, so we would do this project together as a family. It would be neat for the kids to “interview” family members about the history of our family.
9:36 pm
I’d love to use this to teach my kids where they came from.
10:15 pm
I scrapbook & have on my to do list to make a family tree like this that isn’t behind a scrapbook. This will give me the ability to actually get it down! I love seeing our family history & my kids enjoy it as well.
10:36 pm

10:10 am
I would give this to my sister and her husband, so they can fill in the family tree for the family they are building!
10:27 am
These trees are beautiful! I would use this tree to show my small children how their family is made up – and display it proudly in our new home!
10:30 am
This Roots Family Tree is beautiful! It would be great to get it started and then let the kids and grandkids fill it in with their family names. sarah_jakel@yahoo.com
11:28 am
I would love to have this in my family room, it is just gorgeous.
11:30 am
I think this would make a great project when I am laid off, to research hubbies and my family trees both in Maine and Central America…it could be lots of fun!

I have my family tree written in paragraph form in a packet of 5 or 6 pages but it would look so much nicer and be quite a special keepsake with this kit. I wouldn’t handprint them as I’d be too nervous; I would use the printing templates that the kit provides. This is such a wonderful memento and I love it! Thanks for having the giveaway.
11:53 am
My husband is looking for something like this for our family. Very neat. Thanks for sharing. What a great giveaway.
11:57 am
I would love to display our family tree in our home. This is gorgeous!

1:13 pm
Oh this is so awesome! Even if I don’t win I’m going to go get me one! I love genealogy & we homeschool. GREAT learning & art tool!
1:32 pm
I’d make one for myself and one for my great grandmother. She’s 98 and the vast majority of things we know about our family is all because of her. Plus as a historian& a researcher learning about my own family history just genuinely makes me happy!
3:45 pm
What an attractive way to display a family tree! I would use this to create a keepsake family tree for my future children.
3:50 pm
I’d use it as a project with my children and teach them about their roots.
3:53 pm
Now that I have my own family I have been totally into our genealogy. This is such a cute way to display your family history! Absolutely love it! I would totally hang it up in our living room for all to see!
4:35 pm
I would start this tree now and add to it as my children marry.
4:36 pm
What a beautiful way to preserve family history. I would love to have this in my family. Thanks for the chance!
5:42 pm

6:44 pm
I would use this to make a beautiful tree for my Mother In Law who would just love it. She is obsessed with geneology, and would be proud to display it in her home! Thanks for the giveaway!

9:38 pm
Oh, this is a wonderful prize! We don’t yet have a family tree displayed anywhere in our house, and I think family history is so important. I’d love to win this prize! Thanks for the chance.
11:13 pm
I would use this to post all of mine & my dh’s family. I even have the perfect place to hang it in my house.
11:28 pm
What a perfect teaching tool for our daughter – some research and interviews along with putting this together would make a great school project!
12:41 am
I would have to use this to help me and my children to be able to know our ancestors more on my husband’s side of the family. My family has reunions regularly for my mom & dad’s families. My husband’s family does not. He’s often said he could be standing in line at a grocery store behind one of his cousins and not even know it. SAD.
3:12 am
I would get this for my mother in law who loves researching geneology
she would really love it! And would use it to show her grandchildren the rich heritage of our family 
11:04 am
I would love to have this so my daughter can see how wonderfully diverse her heritage is!!
Great giveaway!!

Thanks!
12:16 pm
I would use it to show my son all the members of our family.
12:59 pm
I have a wall in my great room that I need to get a picture for. The family tree would be a really personalized piece of artwork that would remind us of the importance of family. Thanks for the chance to win!
2:13 pm
I would make this for my little girl. She has 7 great grandparents so it would be a perfect way for her to “keep track” of them all and how we’re all related. Thank you for doing this!
5:23 pm
I’d use this as a gift for my parents!
7:39 pm
I would use this as a homeschool project. I would also use this as a way to talk to my relatives. Both my mom and my dad’s families don’t like to talk. So doing this project would be a good excuse to get them to talk about their history.
9:24 pm
This would be wonderful to have. Im adopted and I want to be able to trace history for my kids!
6:44 am
My husband loves following his family history. I know he would love to do this and either give it to his mom for Christmas or hang it up in our house
8:26 am
I would use it for both my and my husband’s families for my son
9:04 am
I would use it for my daughter’s family. I think they would love to regularly see where they came from.
11:24 am
I would trace both sides of the family for my nephew. Thanks for the giveaway!
12:59 pm
I would use this for my children so they know more about my family history
1:33 pm
I would use this as a gift to my nephew. I’d be thrilled to win. Thanks for the chance!
3:03 pm
Both my side and my husband’s side of the family are a little odd and varied, so I’d love to make this for my daughter so that she can see how everyone is related and learn about her family history. Thanks!
