Dear Sis,

Today you turn thirty…something. But don’t worry – you don’t look a day over 18! Must be all of that running and biking and swimming and not drinking and how are we related again?
Being the kind, compassionate sibling I am, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to remind you of my forthcoming inheritance. I mean, ha ha, the family’s not getting any younger, are they? (Are we? Are you? Is that what’s going on here? Families don’t keep secrets, Sis.)
Anyway, like I was saying. My inheritance: Babs’ photo albums.
Oh yes. Remember when I staked my claim long, long ago? As a kid, younger than you as ever, I’d creep into Mom’s craft area (by the way, nice of you to share part of your room for that), sit on the floor, and flip through her photo albums for hours.
Even before scrapbooking was ‘in,’ Babs created masterpieces. I’ve yet to see photo albums that rival hers. Oh, except yours, of course.
And one day? They’re mine. All mine.
Don’t worry, Sis, I’ll take pictures of the pages any time you want.

To soothe any hard feelings, I got you this lovely 11 x 14-inch canvas print from Printcopia.

Well. Technically they gave it to me. For free.
But it’s the thought that counts, right?
What’s more, Printcopia said I could give one away to a lucky reader! Yeah! Doesn’t that make you happy, too, Sis? To give something to one of my blog readers?
Happy Birthday! You’re welcome.
Love,
Jul

You heard correctly, Chipmunks – and all you have to do for a chance to win a free 11 x 14-inch canvas print like mine (but, you know, with your own pic… No you can’t use this one. Don’t be weird. Weird was so three days ago. Now we’re being satirical) from Printcopia is leave a comment below telling me a sibling rivalry story. If you don’t have any siblings, what ridiculous rules did your parents have when you were growing up?
Deadline: 8am EST, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14th.
I will announce a favorite answer at 6am EST on Monday, October 15, 2012. The winner will receive a promotional code from Printcopia via email and can order their free print online, just like I did (it’s easy peasy)! Cool beans, Printcopia! Thanks!
