Great project Ali! I love your ideas when it comes to the "little things" Things that I wouldn't normally think of doing, you remind me of! Thanx for that.

thanks ali....another great inspiration! by limiting it to 5 things, makes it seem attainable.... i tend to want to include everything and then get overwhelmed with trying to get it all in... this is a must do.

Ooo! I thought that making the book was fun (and that the concept was so cool). Now, I think that sharing may be the best part of it all! Thanks for the challenge Ali and thanks for the major mini share (including yours -- it's AWESOME)!
Here's mine:

What a fun challenge Ali. Thanks for the inspiration. Here is mine: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/pg.asp?gallery=1&cmd=display&layout_id=991480

Here's my first submission - thanks for the inspiration. I set out to do my favorite things and got stuck on one, my son Nathaniel. Still, what fun! And, you're right, it's incredibly liberating to do something small and quick and have it completed. I set it out on the counter to see when Nathaniel will notice it. I'll let you know what happens....

Somehow I always hesitate to put my current favorites down knowing that the next day they may change -- but I guess that's the beauty -- will now do this more often!!!

Ooooooh this is sooo cooooll...wayy too cool...I love how you crop the picture with the white background. It looks very professional and clean. Good job, Ali. I'm loving your website more and more each day. Looking forward to more goodies!

What a fun challenge. I just LOVE Mini-Books, but haven't done any for quite some time now ... so your challenge was the perfect excuse for me to finally take a chance on a mini-book again ... and I enjoyed the process soooo much! Here's my FAB 5 Mini-Book:

Hi! Reading your "challenge" had me up til 2am this morning working on it -- doing 6 favorite things though! And I was so excited when you mentioned the Basic Grey matchbook album...I suddenly recalled I might just have one of those kits...and when I searched I found one in "Fusion" (love those colors!). So I am almost done...but not sure how to post it to you to see! Will try and figure that one out! Thanks for the inspiration and fun! -Diane

Hi Ali,
I can't wait to start this album! Thanks for coming up with such an amazing and inspirational project! So excited!
I still haven't received the newsletter and am hoping to...can you send it to me? bethanyengstrom@msn.com. Thanks!

Love your mini book! Love the small size pics with the sanded edges and the "today" stamp. Absolutely love the circle of bling on the front. Nice.
Such a fun project Ali. I thoroughly enjoyed this project. http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/gallery/details.ihtml?idx=20688 and http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/gallery/details.ihtml?idx=20689 Although, yesterday I realized that I had forgotten one little part of the challenge--forgot to make the pics wallet size. Love what I ended up with though. I also forgot the date but have my date stamp out and will rectify that today. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
