Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

I have several minibooks planned. our last family Vacation, and I would like to do an ongoing halloween mini-book with all the costumes from year to year.

My favorite mini-album was a "Love" album I made for my husband to take with him on a deployment. It's a handmade, hardcover accordion album with pockets, flaps, matchbooks, tag books, and tiny accordions inside. I really paid attention to detail in it to make it more interactive, much more so than my usual simple scrapbook pages. It's sort of a highlight of our lives together and my feelings for him. Hubby loved it, and it's now in our library on a book stand. It makes me smile every time I see it!
Congratulations on your new book!

Wow, Ali! how cool is this - I have been intrigued by your book and it was on my wish list. Thanks for the chance to win. I am new to scrapping but have been working on a mini book (very slowly) for the last few months for my grandmom. I am making a book of all the memories I had as a child spending time with my grandparents as we did some really neat stuff that I don't want to forget about.
Thanks again for the chance to enter a giveaway. Congrats on the book!!!

I am working on a star shaped minibook with my kids baby pictures. 2 baby pictures of my 10 years old, 2 baby pictures of my 7 years old and 2 pages left for my newborn that is due in 3 weeks.

I am planning a mini book of this years visit to all 72 of Minnesota's state parks. I have 22 left and think I will finish by mid October.
I am looking forward to seeing your new book!

I just finshed a mini book for my BFF for her 30th birthday. I met her 1 year ago on her 29th birthday, so it is extra special.
Next mini book is going to be called "Home is where you park it" meaning camping. Everytime my DH and i go camping, we find a unique looking camper and I take a photo of it. Some retro, some just really really old, some buses, just unique, so I want to document where and when we see them. Just a conversation piece to keep in our camper.

my favorite was one I did in memory of my grandmother (paper bag album)

I always make a list of my favorite memories from the year in an anniversary card for my husband. Last year, I decided to put it in a mini book. Each page of the book had a memory, photo, or ticket stub from something we did together during the year. He loved looking through the book and remembering our fun times together.
His favorite part, though, was the very last page, titled "a preview of next year", with a picture of the positive pregnancy test I had taken the morning I finished the book. It was a great way to surprise him with the big news. It also makes a great keepsake of such a special moment.

My favorite minibook was actually the first one I made - it was for my youngest son, and had a page for each letter in his name. Both of us love it - he still flips through it regularly. Thanks as always for your inspiration, Ali!

Wow! That is so generous, and I would love to be one of those who gets picked! I have been wanting this book since I first heard of it, and I do not want to start my new mini album projects without it. I am planning on doing a mini album about my little sister who passed away when I was very little..I want to tell her story, how I reacted and what my parents feelings were back then. She was very sick and only lived for eight months. It is really important for me to tell this story, and I know how full of great ideas you are Ali, so I would be so happy to win this book. And if there would be a problem with the cost of shipping to another country or something, I hope we can work it out, cuz I hope I still have a shot, even though I live in Sweden. This is on the top of my list at the momet, and have been for quite a while.And thank you Ali for being such an inspiring source!

My favorite mini books that I have made are the ones I made as bridesmaid gifts for my wedding. I had known my bridesmaids since I was very young so the pictures spanned the years.
Mini books are by far my favorite things to make. Your new book looks great.

My favorite mini album is the latest one I made of our camping trip. It's only 4x4 and holds about 35 2x3 inch photos. I like it because I told the whole story with a few words and mostly the photos.

I'm planning to do an acrylic mini album of our family vacation to the beach.

My favorite mini book projects that I have made are one for my son's 2007 football season and one for a 2006 family trip to Florida. The whole family still looks at those books all the time and it's so fun to reminisce about the memories!

My nieces and I have been scrapbooking this summer. So I decided to make a book about us. It has been so much fun and rewarding, being with them.
I am having so much fun doing the book on us together.
thanks,
Debxx

I just finished a mini book for my son. It was about how much he loves baseball. I used pictures of him with anything baseball. I he loves it and looks at it all the time!! It helps the book looks like a baseball.

I haven't completed any minibooks yet, but I have ideas percolating in my mind. I'd love to do a special travel book about my trip to Ukraine in 1995 to visit distant family.

My favorite Mini Book so far was my Mini Album I created from our trip to the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade 5 years ago. I have created several mini books since then, but that one is my favorite so far!
Can't wait to get the book! It looks great! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Oh I would love to win your book :-) I have done a few minis, a fav is one I did of me in the 70's (really about how my mother dressed me! LOL) I have another one I am planning to start next month - it's an ABC book of all the things I am thankful for. Really looking forward to doing that.
Congrats on your new book. :-) Thanks for the chance to win.

I've just started on a mini book for my son for his birthday. I can't wait until I get my hands on one of your books - where are they in Australia?

Currently I am making an album on my daughters spring break trip to Europe.

i'm really looking forward to seeing this book!
i just got back this weekend from a trip to africa. i was in uganda working with women and children. my favorite photos are of children in a refugee camp in norther uganda (where there has been conflict for about 20 years). the kids were so amazed by the idea that i could take their photo and they could see it on the back of the camera. they got so close, in a few photos, the little tips of their noses are pressed up against the lens! i really would love to make a minibook of the photos i took of these kids!

I am about to create my very FIRST minibook & I'm so looking forward to the challenge! (I have been wanting to make one for quite sometime) We just returned from VA Beach recently & I have some great photos!
Your new book looks great & would be a great inspiration for me as well as so many others!

My favorite one so far is the one I made for my DH as a keepsake of our big trip last year. It was our first trip together of that length, and with NO KIDS! It's a 6x6 acrylic album that can stand freely and he has it proudly display in his office at his squadron.

I have been looking forward to your new book, so glad it's finally been released ! I'm in the process of making a mini book in a tin, about a Santana concert we went to last month. We gave the concert tickets to a friend for his birthday, I snapped some funky pictures of all of us during the concert and the birthday boy will get this mini book as a second present.
