Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

Your book looks great! One of my favorite mini books is one I did for my mom with photos of her through her life and places for her to fill in. She loves it too.

I just finished (last night) the cutest little mini book "7 suits of summer"....somehow my 4 year old daughter ended up with 7 swimsuits, so I did a cute album of all the suits. Sorry I have no blog or anything to share it on ;o( I really need to get with the times!!!

I'm planning a minibook to document the birth story and first moments of life of my first baby earlier this year. I want to do this in minibook format as the photos and journaling are quite personal.

My favorite mini-book project be the one that I finally get around to completing one day-lol.

my favorite mini-book was of an extended family vacation to the Bahamas- eight adults and five kids. I love the colors, the pictures, and of course, the memories.

My favorite is my Remember the Dailiness album. Inspired by the book Mittenstrings For God: Reflections for Mothers in a Hurry, it reminds me not to wait for big events to celebrate life, but instead to celebrate the little things that happen everyday.

I'm currently working on a mini-book of my trip to Europe this last spring with my mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law. It's a slow process for me but it will be fun to have it all put together.

I love minibooks!
I have two that I am planning at the moment ...
The first is to record my last few days in my job - I have lots of lovely messages and memories to record and I dont want to forget them.
The second is a mini book of memories from a friends wedding
Right - off to play!

My next mini-book is about my brother....he passed away last year and asked me to do a memorial book for him to have at his "going away party". I did that and gave it to his wife and now I want a mini version for my family. He was so full of life that it will be fun to capture that in the pages and journaling!

I love making mini books...my favourite one so far...(that is a hard decision). I think the one I made about the process of my husband and I building our first home. It's a nice keepsake now that we have just moved it...I can look back on years journey of how it all began.
Congrats Ali! Wishing you a wonderful pregnancy!

I always enjoy making mini books after a familiy event and then giving it to someone who was there as a gift. I love going to their house and seeing them displayed. It makes all the effort worth it. Thanks for the new book. I am always looking for new ideas.

I have just started a mini book project called "THEN and now" Included are pictures when I was young and me now. My daughters when they were younger and now. Photos of things from the past and current favorites. It really is a fun project and tells a great story. Amazing to see the flow of life through such pictures.

I have soooo many mini books I am planning right now - family traditions, christmas(s), YMCA sports, daily routines and the list goes on. As you can tell I really need your book and can't wait for it to be released. Fingers crossed!!

I haven't done a mini album but would like to do one of my DGS's first year in school -
kindergarten.

Very excited about your new book. Planning a mini book on my son's costumed adventures (he loves to dress up as a fireman, policeman, lately, Indiana Jones. . . so much fun).

I am so excited to see this book! I just loved Life Artist and know this will be great. My favorite mini album is the one I made recently for my son to help him learn how to spell his name with pictures from our life. The project is at this link below.

I usually do a minibook of whatever vacation we've taken in a year. My biggest scrapbook to date is the result of a 3-week trip to Africa, so I guess that's not really a 'minibook'; I've also done small chipboard books about our camping trips and even a My Publisher photobook (no text, just photos) to document a trip when I was short on time. I love reliving the trips while I make the books. Can't wait for my next one.

I think that 2 of my favorite mini books are ones that I did on my grandparents marriage and their life on the farm. I have begun doing mini books because I can take photos of an advent or of a certain thing and complete it fairly quickly and have a treasure to share. I would love to have a copy of your new book to gather new ideals.

The next mini book that I'm planning to make is one for my friend. She's been a wonderful friend and loves when I make her projects. So I'm collecting all the photos of us together from the last 6 years and putting it together for her bday.

I want to do a mini-book celebrating the individual traits of each of my kids. It's been on my list for awhile now, I just need to start working on it!!

My favorite minibook was one I made for my friend Leah before she left to study in Sydney! She loved it too because it had messages from our friends, her siblings, and even included a "bucket list" of new things to try in a foreign land :)

My next idea for a minibook is going to be based on pics I took at our Christmas party last year for our friends. I have some great b & w pics that I am planning on using, along with a Blackboard album. I think it will be mostly pictures, but I like the idea of having friends & family in one little book.

the new book looks awesome! I am working on an acrylic album showing my fave pics from summer fun!

I made a mini book for my uncle in Scotland chronicling a day we spent in NYC at the World Trade Center in 2007 and a visit we took @ early 1980s. He appreciated it so much and for me to be able to set the WTC ball then and now was eerie.

I've been on a real mini book kick lately. My mind is constantly thinking up new ideas. Currently I am working on a mini book from our recent family trip up north. There were 60 of us, and half of them were kids under the age of 16. I had them all fill out questionnaires and I am including those in the mini book with some photos. A nice keepsake without having to do a full scrapbook. I can't wait to show it off and see the kids' reactions.
