Do you know your family?


For Christmas this year, I made this great board game titled "Who's Your Family?" for brother-in-law and his family. I got the idea from Family Fun. It is a board game that is built around your family's memories. It is a combination of Monopoly, Sorry and Trivial Pursuit. It was pretty easy to make and I love the way it turned out. I had to share because I am just so excited about this gift!

this is a fantastic idea for a family gift! I am tucking it in my back pocket for next year, for sure. I never know what to do for my brothers and their families. Did you create the questions on your own or get help from your siblings?

BRILLIANT!!! What a great gift!!! Thanks for sharing this with us. This could be fun for our family for next Christmas. I might want to make this game for us -what do you think?

This is my goal for next Christmas for the Brandow family since I didn't get around to it this year. Thanks for showing me...it is even better in person! :)

I'm in shock! I can't get over how awesome the entire thing looks! I would love to do this for Ty's family next year but I am afraid if won't look as great as this one does, it is amazing! You will have to give me pointers!

Once again - I LOVE it! Any great tips? I want to do this for my mom and siblings, maybe my husband's family too - but that is getting way ahead of myself.

I love this idea for a game. I just found your blog from the Love Actually blog. She posted this idea for your game and I want to make one. I am wondering a couple of details and hopefully you are willing to share your cute secrets on how you made the game. I am wondering where you found all the pictures for the game board and if by chance you still have them to share with me. That would cut down on my work so much and of course you get the credit. Let me know if you are willing to share anything relating to making the game. I would love any ideas you have. I love your blog by the way and I am totally inspired by the "project" posts. Thanks, Mindy

I too love this idea. I would love to make this next year for each of my married kids and their families. I am not very talented when it comes to crafts. I would love to have any tips you have in making this. Thanks so much. Kathleen

Would LOVE to know EXACTLY how I can make this. I am new to Pinterest and that's where I found it. Where can I get instructions on how to make it? I was looking for ideas on new board games because my kids and I are bored with the same ole thing. This is gonne be a BLAST because we have a VERY interesting family. :)

Did anyone ever get detailed instructions for this? I can't find them anywhere.

Hello! I just came across your blog from the Love Actually blog. I love this game idea and want to make it for my daughters family for Christmas. I have seen a couple others on Pinterest but yours is amazing! It is no longer available on the family fun site. I was wondering how much detail and instructions you might be willing to share with me. I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Cindy cindywday@yahoo.com

We are going to do a family night for a church event and i thought this would be a perfect activity to share with people. The Disney site doesn't seem to have it available anymore. Is there anyway you could explain how it is played enough where it can be recreated?? I'd appreciate it!
